Alerts
rangebound sends alerts to Telegram when something happens that is worth a look before the next time you open the app.
Pool alerts
| Alert | When it fires |
|---|---|
| Fee spike | A pool's fee APR over the last hour is more than ten times its 24-hour rate and it paid LPs at least $100 in that hour. Pools under $50,000 of TVL are skipped, and each pool alerts at most once an hour |
| LPs opening | Five different LPs open a new position in the same pool inside five minutes, each depositing $5,000 or more. It fires again at ten |
| Lookalike mint | A new token appears using the name of a tracked asset but isn't the issuer's real token. It is excluded from every figure |
A fee spike is a burst, not a new normal. It is often a meme spike, a news move on the stock, or the US market opening.
Both thresholds on the fee spike matter, and the second one is the one that was missing. A percentage says how unusual an hour was; it says nothing about whether the money is worth crossing the room for. A $20,000 pool at forty times its usual rate earns about nine dollars, and an alert that treats that the same as a real one is an alert nobody reads.
LPs opening is the only alert that could not exist before the Terminal's capture. Every other figure here can be read off a snapshot. This one cannot: the position scan reports the state it found, so five wallets arriving together and five drifting in over a day look identical to it. Only an event carries its own moment. A position's opening states no amount - the money arrives as a separate deposit - so an open counts once what was put into it clears $5,000.
Meme alerts
| Alert | When it fires |
|---|---|
| Graduation | A launchpad meme graduates into a pool against a tracked asset |
| Market cap crossing | A counted meme crosses $100,000 or $1,000,000 in market cap for the first time after rangebound saw it below that level |
| Volume spike | A counted meme trades at least $50,000 in an hour, and at least four times its average hourly volume over the last day. At most once every six hours per meme |
When rangebound first starts tracking memes, it records the ones already there without alerting, so alerts only cover genuinely new events.
Market cap and volume alerts apply only to memes that pass the counting rules and the honeypot screen.
