8. RandProofKeeper: Decentralized Automation Layer

[Layer 1: Core]

8.1 What RandProofKeeper Replaces

RandProofKeeper replaces a centralized keeper wallet's entropy-related work -- detecting new PoFR requests, fetching entropy, signing, and fulfilling -- with a permissionless network of keeper nodes performing that same job, without any centralized coordination. A related but distinct job -- watching an arbitrary client contract's own business condition (a raffle's end time, an auction's close, any deadline- or state-based trigger) and calling that contract's own action function once the condition is met -- is the job a centralized keeper wallet or Chainlink Automation performs separately from randomness fulfillment. RandProofKeeper does not perform that broader job; RandProofAutomation (Section 10) does, as its own dedicated, general-purpose product.
