PowerPool was launched in 2020 without traditional VCs or investors, pioneering the concept of meta-governance for accumulating voting power in third-party protocols.

However, Keeper bots that execute smart contracts according to predefined algorithms were needed to make automated products work. For this reason, PowerPool developed its own automation network in October 2020. It was used for TWAP oracles, staking tokens in third-party protocols, harvesting yields, and re-allocating capital.

PowerAgent v2 users can now automate their on-chain routines and strategies by submitting new Jobs to the network. Node runners can run Keeper bots to earn execution fees and CVP incentives for node operation.
