Running your own bot

We have provided two implementations of our keeper bots that are both written in python.

No knowledge of python is required to run the bots, however we would advise a basic understanding of python.

The APEX KEEPER uses brownie to manage the interface with the blockchain. This bot is slightly easier to run

The CHRONOS BOT interacts directly with the blockchain using web3py. It has slightly better performance than the APEX KEEPER so we would recommend this bot for those who are serious about running a keeper bot.

Please follow the instructions provided on github to run the bots.

Please note: the bots are provided as-is. We will be able to provide some assistance with troubleshooting.
