Monad proposes scheduled transactions feature to replace off-chain keeper infrastructure.
Regulation & Gov ·
Monad has proposed a scheduled transactions feature designed to handle time-dependent operations without relying on off-chain keeper infrastructure. This approach would allow transactions to be queued and executed at predetermined times or conditions directly on-chain, reducing dependency on external services that monitor and trigger contract functions. The proposal addresses a common pattern in decentralized finance where keepers currently maintain separate infrastructure to automate actions like liquidations, rebalancing, or oracle updates.
The scheduled transactions model shifts execution responsibility from centralized keeper networks to the protocol itself, potentially lowering operational costs and latency for applications built on Monad. By embedding this capability natively, developers could design workflows that require less external coordination while maintaining the EVM compatibility that Monad targets as a core feature. This aligns with Monad's broader focus on high throughput and developer experience.
It remains unclear whether the proposal has advanced to a formal governance vote, what timeline for implementation is being considered, or how the scheduled execution model will be prioritized relative to other protocol development efforts. Details on transaction fee structures, execution guarantees, and integration requirements for developers have not yet been specified.
