ChainCron: Decentralized Automation Marketplace

🚀 Tagline

Automate Everything On-Chain. Subscribe to workflows, earn while you sleep.

💡 The Problem

DeFi users waste countless hours on repetitive tasks:

Manually compounding yield across protocols
Constantly monitoring prices for optimal entry/exit points
Rebalancing portfolios as markets shift
Missing opportunities while sleeping or working

Current solutions are centralized, custodial, or require technical expertise. There's no marketplace where developers can monetize automation strategies and users can subscribe with one click.

✨ Our Solution

ChainCron is a decentralized marketplace for blockchain automation workflows. Think Zapier meets DeFi, powered by Forte's workflow automation primitives.

For Users:

Browse pre-built automation workflows
Subscribe with one click (no coding required)
Set parameters, connect wallet, and let it run 24/7
Track performance and earnings on a unified dashboard

For Developers:

Build automation workflows once
Publish to marketplace and earn recurring revenue
No infrastructure management - we handle execution
Get paid directly on-chain (80/20 revenue split)

🎯 Key Features

📦 Workflow Marketplace

🛠️ Technical Architecture

Smart Contracts (Solidity):

WorkflowRegistry.sol - Stores workflow metadata and creator info
SubscriptionManager.sol - Handles subscriptions, payments, renewals
WorkflowExecutor.sol - Executes workflow logic with permission checks

Frontend (Next.js 14 + TypeScript):

Modern, responsive UI with Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
Wallet integration via RainbowKit + wagmi
Real-time updates and smooth animations

Automation Layer:

Forte Workflows API integration for scheduled execution
Event monitoring system for trigger-based workflows
Execution engine with retry logic and failure handling

Key Forte Integrations:

✅ Scheduled transactions for time-based workflows
✅ Workflow composability (chain multiple actions)
✅ On-chain event monitoring for triggers
✅ Gas optimization using Forte's transaction batching

🎬 Demo Workflow Examples

1️⃣ Auto-Compound DeFi Yield

Automatically harvest and reinvest yield from lending protocols every 24 hours. Set it and forget it while your position grows exponentially.

2️⃣ 50/50 Portfolio Rebalancer

Maintain perfect balance between ETH and USDC. Automatically rebalances when allocation drifts >5%, protecting against volatility.

3️⃣ Smart Price Alerts

Set rules like "If ETH > $3,500, swap 0.5 ETH to USDC." Execute trades automatically at your target prices, even while offline.
