# Alerts

> Standing price, market, and on-chain watches that notify you when something moves.

Skopos can watch something for you and push a notification when it fires — no need to keep the chat open.

## Price alerts

```
> alert me when eth hits $5000
> notify me when btc drops below $90000
```

A price alert is one-shot: once the target is crossed, Skopos notifies you and the watcher is removed. Set a new one if you want to keep watching.

## Prediction-market alerts

```
> alert me if this polymarket moves
```

Recurring — Skopos re-checks the market's volume against a baseline and notifies you when it moves more than 20% from where you started watching, then keeps watching with a refreshed baseline.

## On-chain activity alerts

```
> alert me on activity for 0x...
```

Recurring — notifies you when new activity appears on an address, then keeps watching for the next new transaction.

## How delivery works

Alerts are delivered as web push notifications. You'll need to allow notifications in your browser the first time you set one up — without an active push subscription, Skopos has no way to reach you outside of an open chat session.

## Checking cadence

Watchers are evaluated on a schedule (a few times a minute), not instantly on every price tick. A fast-moving target might cross your threshold slightly before the notification arrives — this is a polling system, not a millisecond-latency trigger.
