PowerPool is a DAO-managed protocol focused on developing a decentralized and autonomous network for guaranteed transaction execution and off-chain computation - the PowerAgent Keeper network. Smart contracts cannot execute themselves, so automation networks are necessary for creating and operating automated on-chain strategies/maintenance for web3 protocols, dApps, DAOs and individuals. Automation networks complement L1/L2 networks and oracle networks to form the ‘third leg’ of crypto infrastructure.The PowerAgent network is decentralized and permissionless, so anyone can operate a PowerAgent Keeper node. Keeper nodes automatically execute transaction signing tasks submitted by network users/Task Owners to earn automation fees and gas compensation in the native blockchain asset (ETH for Ethereum, BNB for BNBChain, etc.) Keeper nodes stake $CVP, the PowerPool governance token, to participate in the automation network and qualify for signing ever higher value transactions.Automation is increasingly required in Defi. In the past, PowerPool has built and operated automated Defi products on top of the PowerAgent v1 network, partnering with Yearn.Finance, Balancer, SushiSwap, Boardroom and other notable Defi protocols.

Oshiya describes himself as a power broker and one of the most well-connected people in the industry. Not.Satoshi, the project’s CTO, is an anonymous developer and early adopter of crypto. The DAO founders are complemented by public and other pseudonymous members.Core DAO ContributorsGordon Gekko (pseudonym) - the chief Defi strategist. Gordon is responsible for analyzing the Defi ecosystem and future economic trends to create new automated products/find integrations for the PowerAgent network.Vasiliy Sumanov - Crypto-native researcher, Ph.D., scientist, and token engineer.
