Tune in to the Open livestream xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1oKMvNzoL…
Yesterday's Railway issues, and an increasing stream of cloud provider incidents, highlight a major issue: decentralized apps have no way of scheduling or automating smart contract calls. Someone needs to run that cron on a server, which are becoming increasingly unreliable in the age of AI.
The point of decentralized systems is that we shouldn't need to rely on a single server to maintain an invariant that protects the correctness and solvency of self-sovereign money protocols. Automation needs to move to the blockchain, where a network of distributed nodes brings fault-tolerance and checks-and-balances.
Scheduled Transactions are how we accomplish that.
Scheduled Transactions are far more than a replacement for keepers. They let users and applications alike set up interactions that recur on a cadence, happen once at a chosen moment, or follow from something that happened earlier.
Check out the details below, as well as a few examples of what you can build with Scheduled Transactions, such as on-chain keepers, recurring payments, long-running (asynchronous) computations, automatic refunds in atomic swaps, and order-book cleanup.

We're excited to welcome @monad as a sponsor of UBC 2026! 💜
Monad is a high-performance, EVM-compatible blockchain built to enable highly performant apps.
With a strong focus on developer adoption, Monad Foundation regularly hosts hackathons and is looking to work with university blockchain communities around the world.
If you're a student interested in learning more about Monad, make sure to meet the team at UBC 2026!
Tree-BTE lays the groundwork for post-quantum encrypted mempools
Check out Tree-BTE 🌳, our new tree-based approach to designing batched threshold encryption (BTE), the cryptographic tool for encrypted mempools.
Tree-BTE can be instantiated with different cryptographic hardness assumptions to yield different properties. For example, with a lattice-based hardness assumption, we get a post-quantum secure BTE scheme with >100x faster decryption than prior lattice-based schemes.
Instantiations based on other assumptions (such as DDH, DCR, LWR) are also possible. Check out our paper on eprint.
Welcome to Monad 🤝
ONyc is coming to @Monad through nONYC.
Built by @onrefinance, ONyc gives onchain exposure to reinsurance-backed yield, with returns generated from underwriting premiums and collateral rather than crypto-native incentives.
Until now, ONyc has been available only on Solana. nONYC packages the asset through Plume Vaults, making it deployable across supported EVM networks and opening access to new sources of capital and liquidity.
With more than $225M deployed across Solana DeFi, ONyc has already established itself as a significant RWA onchain.
Now, it’s moving beyond its original ecosystem.
This is what RWA distribution looks like: taking institutional assets that already exist and making them accessible across the networks where capital is already moving.
