# TEE on solana X Switchboard
### How do switchboard Tee works?
Switchboard allows you to make functions and run them off-chain , enabling the submission of transactions either based on a predetermined cron schedule or as needed.
### Steps
1. Define switchboard in the contract
2. Write custom Function
3. Build container and upload to Docker/IPFS registry
4. Create an on-chain FunctionAccount at https://app.switchboard.xyz/build/function by adding the ipfs link
> Functions can set a cron schedule to have it executed periodically. This is useful for automating tasks on-chain with custom conditional logic.
# Demo
Im using the switchboard template here ->
> Be sure to check out the [makefile](https://github.com/switchboard-xyz/solana-functions-template/blob/main/Makefile)
After it Has complied, publish it on docker or ipfs
~~~
make publish
~~~
Now take the docker identifier and head to Switchboard [function builder](https://app.switchboard.xyz/build/function), and fill in rest of the details!
Woala, we just executed our special code in this case a randomness generator in a secure encalve which swithcboard posts on chain with cryptographic proofs
