On-chain alerts
Coming soon
Chart alerts watch a chart. On-chain alerts watch the Bitcoin network itself, and they check every 30 seconds against the Newhedge Bitcoin node instead of once an hour or once a day.
You will be able to watch for:
- Address activity. An address receives or sends bitcoin. Choose incoming, outgoing or both, set a smallest amount, and optionally hear about a transaction while it is still unconfirmed and again when it confirms.
- Large transfers. A transaction moves a large amount of bitcoin, in BTC or in US dollars. You get one message per block with the count and the largest transfers.
- Old coins moved. Coins that sat unspent for years, from one year up to fifteen and the pre-2012 coins, are spent again.
- Fee rate. A network fee rate, such as the fastest or the one-hour rate, crosses a level you choose.
- New block. Every new block, or only the blocks found by one mining pool.
- Difficulty adjustment. The mining difficulty changes, about every two weeks.
Alerts reach you through the delivery channels your chart alerts already use: email, Telegram, Slack, a signed webhook, in-app notifications and push. Every event is also kept in your alert history, and an alert can be paused or deleted at any time.
An alert reports what happens after you create it, never the past. Address, large transfer and old coin alerts report confirmed transactions with one confirmation. In the rare case that the chain is reorganized, a block that was reported can be replaced.
This page becomes the announcement when on-chain alerts open.
