Clockwork was an open-source smart-contract automation protocol built on Solana that allowed developers to schedule transactions and build event-driven programs. The project was founded by Nick Garfield, who announced in August 2023 that active development would cease due to limited commercial upside, with devnet and mainnet nodes shut down on October 31, 2023. Clockwork's Twitter Score is 44 out of 1000 as of September 2026, ranked #21,092 (top 5%) among 486,621 tracked accounts.
Clockwork raised a $4 million seed round, announced on August 30, 2022, co-led by Asymmetric and Multicoin Capital, with Solana Ventures and El Cap Ventures also participating across its funding history. The protocol gave Solana developers a way to automate on-chain workflows without relying on off-chain infrastructure, positioning itself as a core developer tool within the Solana ecosystem.
Clockwork has published 600 posts on the platform. A developer guide updated in January 2026 notes that the protocol has not been maintained since August 2023 and retains its documentation solely for historical and educational reference. Clockwork has been mentioned by 41 accounts, with 88 total mentions.
