- On-chain webhook provider — address and contract event triggers
- Portfolio API (Zerion or DeBank) — read-only multi-chain balances
- Notification channel — alerts and failure reports
- Web3 wallet or smart account — only for the automations that execute on-chain, with hard spend caps
- Zapier for simpler read-only alerting
- custom scripts with cron for full control

Related concepts
The vocabulary this page depends on.
- →Crypto Automation
Crypto automation is rule-based execution of monitoring, alerting and recurring on-chain actions, so decisions are made once and applied consistently.
- →On-chain Data
On-chain data is the public record of every transaction, balance and contract call — the raw material for wallet tracking and market research.
- →Gas Fee
A gas fee is the network payment for computation and storage in a transaction, priced by demand rather than by trade size.
- →Smart Money
Smart money is a label for wallets with a documented history of profitable, early positioning — a research filter, not a signal to copy blindly.
Related workflows
Turn this into a repeatable process.
- →Automated Crypto Alerts
Define the conditions that would change a decision, monitor them automatically, and receive one clean notification instead of watching charts.
- →Crypto Portfolio Monitoring
Aggregate positions across wallets and chains, compute real exposure, and alert on drift instead of checking balances manually.
- →Automated DCA Workflow
Set a recurring buy schedule that runs without your attention, with sizing and frequency chosen so fees stay negligible.
- →Automate Repetitive Web3 Actions
Replace manual claims, approvals and rebalances with scoped automations that cannot spend more than you allowed.

- →On-chain Data vs Exchange Data
On-chain data shows verifiable wallet-level behaviour; exchange data shows aggregate price discovery. Serious research needs both.
