Using Chainlink Keepers

You can automate your smart contract using the following steps:

1. Make your contract Keepers-compatible so the Keepers Network knows how to check if your contract should be called, and what to do when calling your contract.

2. Register a new Upkeep in the Chainlink Keepers App so the Keepers Network knows to monitor your contract and fund your Upkeep with LINK. For registration on mainnet, you need ERC-677 LINK. Many token bridges give you ERC-20 LINK tokens. Use PegSwap to convert Chainlink tokens (LINK) to be ERC-677 compatible.

3. After your Upkeep is registered and funded, manage it in the Keepers App.
