Become an Executor
Run the ZYNC Executor CLI to monitor vaults, execute eligible strategies, and earn incentives. No permission needed—anyone can participate.
What is an Executor?
Executors are the backbone of ZYNC's permissionless automation system. They monitor vaults and trigger strategies when conditions are met.
Monitor
Scan the StrategyVaultFactory for all deployed vaults and their active strategies continuously.
Verify
Check each strategy's trigger conditions against onchain oracle data to determine eligibility.
Execute
Call the execute function on eligible strategies to trigger the automated action and earn rewards.
Quick Start Guide
Get the ZYNC Executor running in minutes with npm.
Install the CLI
Install the executor globally using npm:
npm install -g zync-executorConfigure RPC URL
Set your Sepolia RPC endpoint (Alchemy, Infura, or any provider):
zync-executor config-rpc --url https://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_API_KEYConfigure Wallet
Set up your executor wallet (needs ETH for gas):
zync-executor config-wallet --private-key YOUR_PRIVATE_KEYYour private key is encrypted with AES-256-CBC and stored securely. You'll be prompted for a password.
Start Executing
Launch the executor and start earning:
zync-executor run# Or with debug logging:
zync-executor --debug run

How Executors Earn Incentives
ZYNC uses a simple fee model where executors earn 90% of execution fees for keeping the network running.
Execution Fee Distribution
Executor
Your reward
ZYNC Treasury
Protocol fee
Execution fees are set and controlled by ZYNC authority to ensure fair pricing
Vault Recharge Model
When users create strategies, they recharge their vault with funds to cover execution fees. This ensures executors are always compensated for successful executions.
First-Come-First-Serve
Executions are competitive. The fastest executor to identify an eligible strategy and submit the transaction earns the 90% fee share.
Guaranteed Payment
Execution fees are pre-funded in the vault. If a strategy is executable, the fee is guaranteed—no risk of non-payment.
Controlled Fees
Execution fees are set by ZYNC authority to maintain fair pricing across the network. This prevents fee manipulation and ensures predictable earnings.
