How Chainlink Automation works

Chainlink Automation uses a decentralized network to monitor your automation logic securely and cost-efficiently off-chain, and then initiate an on-chain transaction to execute the smart contract function when predefined conditions are met.

A rotating node selection process prevents gas price auction wars and stabilizes costs.
