According to the report, the decision was to take advantage of the unique features of Chainlink Automation to secure and enable its claimOnBehalf method while securing the protocol and facilitating operations at a cheaper cost. It is important to note that the claimOnBehalf method makes it easier for stakers to automate reward claims. This implies that the Chainlink Automation would be used to power Thales’ staking rewards claiming function.

The Chainlink Automation Network is operated by the same pool of time-tested, provably reliable node operators that have enabled trillions of value across Web3, even during record levels of network congestion and extreme volatility. The proven infrastructure of Chainlink helps ensure that every rewards claim is executed on time in a trust-minimized manner, giving users additional guarantees that it will function exactly as intended.
The Chainlink Automation was purposely designed to perform specific tasks on the smart contract. It purposely triggers smart contracts to perform some important on-chain functions by taking advantage of the decentralized, hyper-reliable, and economically incentivized automation nodes.
