What are Automated Strategies?
The Automated Strategies category includes tools and platforms that enable developers to create, deploy, and manage algorithmic or rule-based actions on blockchain networks. These tools automate tasks such as trading, liquidity management, yield optimization, and governance participation without requiring manual intervention. Common services in this category offer scripting environments, strategy templates, and execution engines that interact directly with smart contracts and decentralized protocols.
Primary users of automated strategy tools are developers building decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, traders seeking algorithmic execution, and protocol teams aiming to automate governance or operational workflows. Key characteristics of these tools include programmability, real-time execution, integration with multiple protocols, and often support for backtesting or simulation. Subcategories may include trading bots, yield farming optimizers, and governance automation tools. Developers should consider these tools when they need to implement repeatable, conditional logic that operates autonomously on-chain or off-chain to improve efficiency and responsiveness.
