A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

are there any contracts that are incentivized to call? e.g. gives back 2x gas cost

thinking about automations/schedulers, a contract that wants to be called on some interval, but letting anyone run the infra to do the calling and get rewarded for it

Can look at ethereum alarm clock for the og

Or look at keeper style networks 

Contracts can pay callers eth after successful completion of the call

… and the shall know me by my speling errors.

Opinions are my own.

ohh I was not aware of gastoken lore! fascinating!

I assumed it'd need to be done via eth transfer back to caller, but this is very clever

Not with gas.  When done with refunds this pattern resulted in gastoken, which the core devs deliberately nerfed with changes in the refund mechanism.  

A direct ether/token payment to the contract CALLER is how it would need to be done.

But to schedule a call, you would need to send a tx, unless you use signatures. The whole issue with this kind of solutions seems to be that setup is so complex to make it decentralized that it is much easy to use something like OpenZeppelin Defender Autotasks.
