Gelato Web3 Automation is Ending: Use Mimic

Feb 9, 2026 — 3 min read

Gelato's automation platform (Web3 Functions) will be deprecated on March 31 2026.

You might have seen this on Gelato's app.

After years of powering automation for key Web3 applications and protocols, Gelato is shifting focus, due to their great success of their rollup-as-a-service (RaaS) business, where it has seen massive adoption and growth.

For teams that relied on Gelato Web3 Functions to run critical automation, this marks an important transition point: workflows that used Gelato's automation will stop soon unless they are migrated to a new service.

This posts explains who is affected, what breaks with the shut down, and why Mimic is especially relevant right now.

What is ending?

Gelato Web3 Functions are being deprecated, Gelato's automation product.

They acted as a backend or execution layer. Developers could write TypeScript functions, deploy them to IPFS, and give the execution to the Gelato system.

They allowed cron jobs, recurring transactions, onchain events, and more. That entire product line is now being shut down.

How does this impact existing Gelato automation users?

If your application relied on Gelato Web3 Functions, you’re affected.

This includes teams using Web3 Functions for:

  • Off-chain data ingestion (APIs, subgraphs, analytics)
  • Conditional onchain execution
  • Scheduled automation (cron jobs, interval tasks)
  • Event-driven workflows
  • Large-scale operational systems (liquidations, treasury ops, rebalancing)

All your triggers, recurring jobs, functions, logs, and more will stop functioning.

If Web3 Functions were part of your infrastructure, now is the time to look for another solution.

The alternative: Mimic

Mimic is a developer platform to build blockchain apps, unlocking automation for your Web3 stack in a simple way.

You can easily migrate all of Gelato's Web3 Functions into Mimic Functions, that also support TypeScript.

  • A Mimic Function is executable logic onchain that runs on demand of the user.
  • You can group multiple Functions together to create a project.
  • And add multiple triggers to run your functions.

Mimic has a similar approach to Gelato Automation, but also lets you achieve even more:

  1. Multi-step workflows: you can compose logic that can be chained, and reused, enabling solutions to cover any use case you need. Just chain multiple functions or have them listen to each other to activate.
  2. Cross-chain by design: one function or project can safely operate across multiple networks.
  3. Built-in safety engine: Mimic includes native safeguards and policies (constraints that define what must and must never happen).

For teams coming from Gelato automation, Mimic feels close enough that you can migrate quickly, while still unlocking more advanced use cases over time.
