Direct answer

Which crypto automation network should Portugal residents use in November 2026?

TukTuk (Helium) ranks highest in ChainChoice’s published automation & keepers ranking among the providers that list Portugal — An open-source Solana crank protocol. The order is the published ranking itself; providers whose terms exclude Portugal are removed. Check authorisation with CMVM before depositing.

Right fit for this list
  • Portugal residents holding capital in EUR
  • Users who need CMVM-aligned compliance and audit-grade reporting
  • Buy-and-hold profiles benefiting from Portugal's tax treatment
  • Sophisticated retail and family-office treasurers
Wrong fit — look elsewhere
  • Derivatives / perpetuals traders (use a regulated futures venue instead)
  • Privacy-focused users avoiding KYC (these are licensed venues)
  • Day-traders chasing the lowest spreads regardless of regulator posture
  • Anyone needing a service CMVM does not currently authorise

6 automation & keepers listed for Portugal

In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 7 providers: those whose terms exclude Portugal are removed; naming Portugal or a region that covers it counts the same, and those whose terms do not state it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.

  1. #1 for PortugalTukTuk (Helium)#1 globallyProvider states broad availability

    An open-source Solana crank protocol: the buyer posts a task with a per-crank SOL reward and any anonymous signer may execute it, so firing is time-only, but the executor set, the due-condition and the failed run are all public chain state — and a task can return its own successor, keeping a conditional loop entirely onchain.

  2. #2 for PortugalKeeperHub#2 globallyProvider states broad availability

    Hosted visual workflow runner for onchain automation: five documented trigger types (schedule/cron, per-block, contract event, webhook, manual) firing arbitrary contract calls from a Turnkey wallet, with the condition evaluated entirely inside vendor infrastructure — offset by an Apache-2.0 self-hostable scheduler and executor whose production Kubernetes values are published, and a numeric SLA that only begins at the $299 tier.

  3. #3 for PortugalReactive Network#3 globallyProvider states broad availability

    An EVM chain whose contracts subscribe to origin-chain event logs and to validator-emitted CRON events, then fire arbitrary calldata at any of 12 mainnets through a callback proxy — the predicate is Solidity anyone can replay, but one single EOA delivers every callback on every chain.

    Closed-catalogue DeFi position automation: pre-deployed, individually auditable onchain Trigger contracts fire pre-registered Action recipes against a user's own Safe or DSProxy, executed exclusively by an onchain-allowlisted DeFi Saver bot fleet. 48 individual trigger pages are documented; 47 Trigger-named contracts carry deployed Ethereum mainnet addresses.

    A permissionless onchain keeper marketplace: the buyer deploys a job contract and funds it with credits, and any bonded address may call it for a gas-plus-premium reward — nobody is obliged to, and the docs say so.

    Write the condition as a TypeScript function, not a contract: Mimic compiles it to WASM, its own relayers evaluate it on a cron, event or one-shot trigger, and an onchain-allowlisted solver settles the resulting intent through a verified Settler contract.
