Monitoring for DAOs and Onchain Governance

Track transaction proposals, individual signature approvals, and final executions in real time. Alert on unusual signing patterns or large pending transactions. Most protocol DAOs hold their treasury in a Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) multisig. BlackTide monitors the full transaction lifecycle: proposal creation, individual signer approvals (with signer address tracking), and final execution - alerting at each stage so the governance team is never surprised by an unexpected treasury move.

Set threshold alerts on any tracked wallet address. Get notified when assets move above a defined USD or token amount - across all treasury wallets and chains. Threshold alerts can be configured per token and per chain: alert when more than 500,000 USDC leaves any wallet, or when any ETH transfer exceeds 100 ETH across any of your tracked addresses. Alerts include the transaction hash, sending address, receiving address, and USD value at time of transfer.

Watch on-chain proposal state transitions: queued, executed, cancelled. Track timelock expirations and alert when an execution is overdue or fails. Timelocked proposals are a common source of operational risk: the timelock expires, the team assumes someone executed it, and days later the proposal is still unexecuted. BlackTide sends a pre-expiration alert and a post-expiration follow-up if the execution has not been confirmed on-chain.

Monitor Snapshot vote tallies, Tally proposal state, and custom governance contract events. Full ABI support for bespoke governance implementations. For DAOs using OpenZeppelin Governor (supported by Tally), BlackTide monitors ProposalCreated, VoteCast, ProposalQueued, and ProposalExecuted events natively. Custom governance implementations are supported via ABI upload, covering any governance contract your DAO deploys.

Post real-time updates to your DAO status page during governance events or treasury incidents. Keep contributors and token holders informed without manual announcements. For DAOs with transparent operations mandates, a public status page serves as the real-time record of governance activity: proposals in flight, treasury health, and any active incidents. Contributors and token holders can check the current operational state without needing to read block explorers.

Never miss a timelock window. Get alerted before timelocked proposals expire so the execution team has time to act before the opportunity is lost. Alert timing is configurable: receive a first notice 48 hours before expiration, a second notice 24 hours before, and a final notice 4 hours before. If the execution team misses all three, the proposal expires and a post-expiration alert fires for retrospective review.
