The hidden truth about many "automated" DeFi protocols:
Autonomous agents still wait for a keeper to act.
If the keeper doesn't act, neither does the protocol.
❖ On Ritual, scheduled execution is a built-in feature (a native capability).
>> The chain itself can instead handle many workflows that traditionally depend on external keepers.
That removes an entire layer of operational dependency.
>> When a keeper fails, runs out of gas, or doesn’t execute, liquidations can be delayed and orders can remain unfilled even when conditions are met.
The distinction matters.
"Automated" isn't always the same as autonomous. ❖
