# Koin Ping
A lightweight on-chain monitoring and alerting system designed to give users situational awareness over blockchain addresses they care about.
# Overview
Koin Ping observes on-chain activity and notifies users when predefined conditions are met. It does not execute transactions, manage wallets, or speculate on prices.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Go 1.24+
- Node.js 18+ and npm (or yarn — preferred per repo policy)
- PostgreSQL 15+
- `golangci-lint` v2 (for `make lint`)
### Setup
```bash
# Clone and enter the repo
git clone <repo-url>
cd koin_ping_0.2.0
# Install pre-commit hook
make hooks
# Install frontend dependencies
cd frontend && npm install && cd ..
# Copy and fill in environment variables
cp backend-go/.env.example backend-go/.env
# edit backend-go/.env with your DATABASE_URL, FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID, ETH_RPC_URL
# Run checks (requires golangci-lint)
make check
# Start the API server
make run
# Start the poller (separate terminal)
cd backend-go && go run ./cmd/poller
# Start the frontend dev server (separate terminal)
cd frontend && npm run dev
```
The API listens on `http://localhost:3001` and the frontend on
`http://localhost:3000` by default.
## 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.
## Design
The system is split into two independently deployable processes and one
frontend:

```
**API server** (`cmd/api`): standard-library `net/http` with Firebase JWT
authentication middleware. Exposes CRUD endpoints for addresses, alert rules,
alert events, and notification configuration.
**Poller** (`cmd/poller`): long-running daemon that polls Ethereum via JSON-RPC,
compares observed transactions against persisted alert rules, fires alert events
to the database, and dispatches Discord notifications.
**Frontend** (`frontend/`): React 19 SPA built with Vite. Authenticates with
Firebase, communicates with the API via fetch, and renders the address/alert
management UI.
