<h1>About the Bounty</h1>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:<ul><li>Intro: How does on-chain automation work, and how is it different from web2 automation tools?</li><li>Ecosystem map: A definitive overview of the Solana automation ecosystem. Include all relevant automation projects on Solana.</li><li>Identify gaps in the ecosystem: What is missing from the current automation landscape on Solana?</li></ul>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. <h2>Rewards</h2>🥇 First Prize:<ul><li>$300 USDC</li><li>Member status in Superteam</li><li>Syndication in Superteam’s Newsletter</li></ul>🥈 Second Prize<ul><li>$150 USDC</li><li>Contributor status in Superteam</li></ul>🥉 Third Prize<ul><li>$50 USDC</li><li>Contributor status in Superteam</li></ul><h2>Evaluation Criteria</h2>Depth &amp; Writing Style<ul><li>Is your essay the one-stop resource for people to get up to speed with the automation projects ecosystem on Solana?</li><li>Have you included a comprehensive set of relevant projects?</li><li>Did you adequately cover the points mentioned under “About the Bounty”?</li><li>Did you avoid overly complex jargon?</li><li>Did you explain concepts in a way a person new to crypto could understand?</li></ul>Submission Requirements<ul><li>Did you write your essay in English?</li><li>Did you submit it before the deadline?
