Incident Management for Web3 Infrastructure Teams
From detection to post-mortem in a single platform — with on-chain context built in. Stop context-switching between monitoring tools, chat threads, and spreadsheets when your infrastructure is on fire.
Why Web3 incident response breaks down under pressure
- Triage takes hours because on-chain context is scattered across block explorers, dashboards, and chat logs
- Incident communication is fragmented across Slack, Twitter, and email with no authoritative timeline
- Post-mortems are deferred, forgotten, or written without the monitor data needed to reconstruct the timeline
- Generic tools like PagerDuty have no concept of chain state, RPC health, or on-chain event correlation
One platform from detection to post-mortem — with chain context
- Incidents are auto-created when monitors breach alert thresholds — detection requires zero human intervention
- On-call rotation schedules, escalation policies, and override windows built directly into the platform
- One-click status page updates publish your incident timeline to users without leaving the incident interface
- Post-mortem templates auto-populate the timeline from monitor data so writing a retrospective takes minutes, not hours
Capabilities
Full incident lifecycle management for Web3 teams
Auto-detection, on-call routing, status page communication, and post-mortems — unified.
Incidents are created automatically when monitors trigger alert thresholds — no manual triage required to open an incident and start the response clock.
Define weekly rotation schedules, escalation policies, and override windows for any team member. Escalate automatically if the primary responder does not acknowledge within your SLA.
Route P0 alerts to phone and Telegram instantly, P1 to Slack, and P3 to email digest — configurable per team, per service, and per severity level.
Publish incident updates to your public status page in one click from inside the incident interface — keeping users informed without interrupting your response.
Structured templates with incident timeline auto-populated from monitor data. Turn every P0 into organizational learning with minimal overhead.
Use Cases
When incident management makes the difference
RPC endpoint failure causing user-facing errors in a DeFi protocol
BlackTide detects the RPC degradation, auto-creates an incident, pages the on-call engineer, and publishes a status update to users — all before a single support ticket is filed.
Bridge outage with inconsistent TVL across two chains
Cross-chain incidents require context from multiple monitors simultaneously. BlackTide correlates signals from both sides of the bridge and surfaces the chain-level context your team needs to triage fast.
Smart contract pause requiring real-time user communication
When a contract is paused for security reasons, users need immediate, accurate communication. BlackTide incident management lets you publish status updates and manage the communication timeline in one place.
BlackTide vs dedicated incident management tools
Web3 context is not a feature you can add to PagerDuty after the fact.

Frequently asked questions
Used by
Monitoring for Validators and Node Operators
Slashing is game over — institutional validators and RPC providers need monitoring that speaks blockchain, not just HTTP.
Monitoring for DeFi Protocols
DeFi protocols run 24/7 across multiple chains — one stale oracle or one silent RPC failure is enough to drain liquidity or halt a protocol.
Resolve incidents 3x faster with on-chain context.
