Crypto template · Updated August 2026
DeFi exploit alert template.
Hear about a hit protocol when it is confirmed, like drained funds, a halt, or a critical vuln, not when a random account yells “exploit??”
You fill in: Protocols + chain · Included with every paid plan
Why this template
What it is for.
Crypto Twitter panics first and corrects later. You need protocol posts and known researchers, not a screenshot of a mempool with no proof.
Confirmed by default
Alert when the protocol, an established researcher, or corroborating sources confirm it. Optional early-warning mode labels suspected incidents clearly.
Loss and type filters
Set a minimum reported USD loss, or focus on oracle attacks, bridges, or drained treasuries.
Your ecosystem, not all of crypto
Name protocols or a scope such as Ethereum DeFi. Add a chain if you only care about one.
Built for minutes that matter
Security incidents are time-sensitive. Faster cadences are available when you need them.
Use cases
Where people use it.
A protocol you hold
Watch the venues where your TVL sits so a halt or exploit is not something you learn on a group chat.
A chain desk
Scope “Ethereum DeFi” and require a minimum loss so dust incidents stay out.
Critical-only on-call
Choose critical incidents: active exploitation, material loss, halted ops, or an urgent user action.

- Name protocols precisely. “Aave” is cleaner than “lending.”
- This is situational awareness, not an on-chain kill switch.
