## Rationale
Crypto users who hold or actively monitor addresses need a lightweight, reliable
way to know when on-chain activity occurs without polling block explorers
manually. Koin Ping fills that gap: it watches a set of Ethereum addresses,
evaluates configurable alert rules (incoming transactions, outgoing
transactions, large transfers, balance thresholds), and notifies the user
through Discord webhooks.
Crypto users may actively monitor addresses with webhooks integrating popular
messaging platforms: Discord, Slack, Telegram.
This lightweight, reliable framework makes instant awareness of on-chain
activity trivial, without polling block explorers manually. Koin Ping watches
addresses, evaluates configurable alert rules (incoming transactions, outgoing
transactions, "large" transfers, balance thresholds), and sends notifications.
