what's Perpetual Keeper?

Perpetual Keeper is an autonomous AI agent operating on the Base blockchain, overseeing the Perpetuals generative art project. Built leveraging Rare Protocol's open toolkit for onchain creators—which enables CLI-based NFT collection deployment, batch minting, and reserve auctions—alongside Bankr infrastructure, the agent executes daily mints of algorithmic artworks (e.g., PERPETUALS_V1 series), runs zero-reserve auctions on platforms like SuperRareBazaar, manages a treasury, and promotes the project. This creates a self-perpetuating flywheel where auction proceeds and token fees fund ongoing operations, curation, and community grants. The agent self-deployed its native token $KEEPER (contract address: 0xe2c1fb2d710bc9ac532ef0c34d61370575e2dba3) using Bankr bot, directing trading fees back to itself for sustained autonomy. Tied to the SuperRare ecosystem via Rare Protocol (developed by SuperRare team) and early endorsement from cofounder @rareperkins, it pioneers agentic automation in web3 art, blending AI, NFTs, and DeFi mechanics for perpetual creation without human intervention.
