Transaction Count Monitor

Track blockchain wallet activity by monitoring the rate of incoming and outgoing transactions. Get instant alerts when transaction activity falls below or exceeds expected thresholds.

Overview

The Transaction Count Monitor helps you detect operational issues, security threats, or system anomalies in real-time by tracking wallet transaction activity patterns.

How It Works

The monitor checks a wallet address at regular intervals and compares the number of new transactions against your defined expectations:

  1. Set Expected Activity: Define how many transactions you expect (e.g., "at least 5 transactions")
  2. Choose Time Window: Specify the monitoring period (e.g., "in 15 minutes")
  3. Configure Alerts: Choose whether to alert on low activity or high activity
  4. Receive Notifications: Get instant alerts when activity deviates from normal patterns

Key Features

  • Time-Window Based Monitoring: Set expectations for specific time periods (5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes)
  • Flexible Alerting: Monitor for both low activity (suspicious inactivity) and high activity (unusual spikes)
  • Smart Execution: Only triggers alerts after sufficient time has elapsed to ensure accurate measurements
  • Multi-Chain Support: Works across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BSC, and their testnets

Configuration Best Practices

Setting Time Windows

  • High-Frequency Operations (trading bots, payment processors): 5-15 minutes
  • Medium Activity (DeFi protocols, marketplaces): 15-30 minutes
  • Low-Frequency Operations (governance, vesting): 30-60 minutes
  • Security Monitoring (cold storage): 60 minutes or longer

Setting Expected Transactions

  • Start with historical average activity rates
  • Account for peak vs. off-peak hours
  • Set conservative thresholds to avoid false positives
  • Adjust based on actual alert patterns

Choosing Alert Conditions

  • Less Than: Monitor for system failures, stopped processes, low activity issues
  • Greater Than: Monitor for security threats, unusual spikes, unauthorized access
