Defender is for smart contract automation, monitoring and management. You can use it in a variety of ways. Within the app, there are several components.

  • Admin for managing a Gnosis Safe multisig or running contract functions (like pause, upgrade, etc.)
  • Relay can be used wherever you would use an account (sending and receiving transactions, etc.)
  • Autotask for running a bit of logic to respond to events or on a scheduled basis
  • Sentinels for monitoring transactions on your accounts.

Each of these components is quite flexible. Here is a really great overview of Defender's functionality.

Thanks for the response Stephen.

Can you please help me with the Autotask in it? Bacause I can not understand which type of script we can write there for automation.

And Can we deployed or Verify our contract from the defender?

Defender is not for deploying/verifying smart contracts. You'd want to use something like Hardhat or Remix for deploying and then a plugin such as hardhat-etherscan to verify the contract's source code. Defender needs the contract to have source code verified to be able to interact with it.

Regarding autotasks:

Generally, think of Autotasks as lambda functions.
