About the Bounty

Automation tools help people save time and effort on repetitive tasks. With increasing on-chain activity, a handful of on-chain automation projects have emerged, aiming to become the Zapier equivalent, but for crypto. These tools allow users to automate on-chain workflows with custom triggers and actions.

To that effect, Superteam is sponsoring a bounty for researchers and writers to map out the landscape of automation projects on Solana, covering the following topics:

• Intro: How does on-chain automation work, and how is it different from web2 automation tools?

• Ecosystem map: A definitive overview of the Solana automation ecosystem. Include all relevant automation projects on Solana.

• Identify gaps in the ecosystem: What is missing from the current automation landscape on Solana?

Your Mission: Map Out the Automation Landscape on Solana.

Note: Include pureplay automation tools on Solana for this bounty. By automation tools, we refer to tools that offer smart contract automation through custom triggers and actions. Avoid adding DeFi protocols.
