Real-Time Monitoring
SpotBlock watches Ethereum wallets and smart contracts on mainnet. As soon as transactions confirm, activity is analyzed and surfaced in the Explorer — so you can react while there is still time to pause a contract, revoke approvals, warn users, or stop interacting with a compromised address.
Act before it is too late
On-chain incidents move fast. A treasury drain, ownership takeover, or wallet compromise can unfold in minutes. Real-time monitoring turns confirmed activity into clear alerts — not a raw block explorer feed you have to interpret yourself.
- Protocol teams — spot admin changes, pauses, or unusual outflows early enough to investigate or halt operations.
- Security & ops — get a prioritized signal when something looks wrong, instead of discovering it hours later on social media.
- Users & researchers — watch a wallet or contract you depend on and decide whether to interact, withdraw, or revoke permissions.
What gets captured
Monitoring runs continuously in the background. Below is a high-level view of the kinds of activity SpotBlock watches for — exact rules and thresholds are not published publicly.
Wallet monitoring
Every confirmed transaction involving the watched address is tracked. Alerts focus on behavior that often precedes or accompanies a loss:
- Unusual token or ETH movements
- Risky or excessive token approvals
- Abnormal transaction frequency or automation patterns
- Interactions with newly deployed or suspicious contracts
- Activity consistent with known scam or drain patterns
Contract monitoring
Governance, treasury, and user-facing risk signals for protocols, vaults, and token contracts:
- Ownership or admin changes
- Proxy or implementation upgrades
- Role grants, revocations, and pause / unpause events
- Large token or treasury movements in or out
- Suspicious callers and coordinated multi-step activity
- Spikes in failed calls or unusual call volume
Each watched contract also gets a dashboard with recent events and alert history.
Getting started
- Open the Explorer and search for an address.
- Click Start RT monitoring. SpotBlock registers the address automatically — no wallet signature required.
- The address appears in the Real-Time Monitored Addresses panel. Open it to review Risk alerts and the full All activity feed.
How alerts help you decide
Risk alerts
Prioritized when activity looks suspicious. Each alert includes a severity, a plain-language summary, and links to the underlying transaction — enough context to decide whether to pause, revoke, notify your community, or escalate internally.
All activity
A chronological log of every confirmed transaction — useful when you need the full picture for an audit, incident report, or post-mortem, not just the items that crossed an alert threshold.
Critical
Strong signs of an active or imminent threat — treat as urgent.
High
Significant suspicious activity — review promptly before funds or control are lost.
Medium
Notable event worth awareness — may be routine, but check before ignoring.
Scope
- Ethereum mainnet today — more networks are planned.
- Post-confirmation — alerts follow confirmed transactions, not mempool activity. React quickly once a block is final; monitoring does not replace your own due diligence.
- Explorer-based — start and review monitoring from the Explorer UI. External notification channels are on the roadmap.
