What Otomato Watches, and Why Each Alert Exists

Now that the vocabulary is in place, the map of alerts becomes readable. Every line below answers a precise risk covered in the previous chapters. This is the course's landing: what a monitoring system actually watches, and why each alert earns its existence.

The alert map

  • Aave, Morpho, Euler: low health factor, critical health factor on looped positions. The risk: imminent liquidation.
  • Aave rates: borrow rate up, supply rate down, negative net APY. The risk: a position that silently costs money.
  • Aave integrity: stablecoin or LST depeg, bad debt, security incident, governance or cap change. The risks: the invisible ones from the six ways chapter.
  • Uniswap and concentrated DEXs: nearly out of range, out of range, back in range. The risk: capital asleep, earning nothing.
  • ve(3,3) DEXs: epoch ending, vote reminder, lock expiry. The risk: rewards and voting power lost to forgetfulness.
  • Pendle maturities: PT maturity, YT maturity, LP market expiry. The risk: the YT going to zero, capital sleeping past its date.
  • Pendle rates: implied rate moves, supply cap raised, limit order filled. The opportunity: entry or exit on the rate.
  • Pendle integrity: underlying depeg, abnormal on-chain activity, large mints, compromised frontend. The risk: a fixed rate guaranteed in tokens that are no longer worth their dollars.
  • Pendle points: TGE, season end, points multiplier changes, claim conditions, claim deadline. The risk: the airdrop missed on a calendar technicality.
  • Hyperliquid: liquidation proximity, expensive funding, order filled, liquidation executed. The risks: leverage and cost of carry.
  • Polymarket and NFTs: price moves, relevant news, registration deadlines. The risk: positions people forget they hold.
  • On-chain credit (3Jane, USDai): capital call issued, countdown to the deadline, defaults appearing in the loan book. The risk: a guarantee seized because a date was missed, not because a price moved.
  • Options (not yet integrated): expiry approaching, price approaching the strike, insufficient margin on a sold option. The risk: a right expiring worthless, or a sale turning into an obligation overnight.

Why this is the product

The whole course in one paragraph

Nobody needs an app to know that ETH went down: the whole world tells you. Every risk that actually ends portfolios lives somewhere else, in a ratio, a gap to one dollar, a vote, a date, an announcement. Watching those other things, across every protocol you touch, is the entire job. That is what Otomato does with nothing but your address: read-only, zero setup, and it cannot touch your funds, for the exact reason you learned in chapter 2.

End of the course. If a term still feels fuzzy, the glossary has a plain-English page for each one, and every protocol named here has its own page describing exactly what gets watched: Aave, Morpho, Euler, Uniswap, Pendle, Hyperliquid.
