Chain Alert (Work in Progress)

Description:

Chain Alert is a blockchain monitoring application that tracks transactions for specified addresses and sends real-time notifications when activity is detected. It aims to provide users with a convenient way to stay informed about their blockchain assets.

Features (Planned):

• Multi-chain support: Monitor transactions across various blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon ,Binance Smart Chain).
• Configurable notifications: Choose your preferred notification method (email, Slack, Telegram, etc.).
• User interface: Manage monitored addresses and notification preferences through a user-friendly interface (future implementation).
• Persistent data storage: Securely store client configurations and transaction history for reliable access.

Current Progress (v1):

• ✅ Implemented ETHClient for interacting with the Ethereum network.
• ⏳ Configuring Redis for caching data (in progress).
• Creating a sample notification using Slack integration.
• User API for adding and managing monitored addresses (development in progress).

Next Steps (v1):

• Configure Postgress database for storing persistent client configurations.
• Configure Apache Kafka for efficient message queuing and event streaming.
• Develop a Notification Service for handling various notification channels (email, Telegram, etc.).

Microservices Design:

Technology Stack:

• Programming Language: Golang and Python
• Blockchain Client Library: go-ethereum
• Caching: Redis
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Message Queue: Apache Kafka
• Notification Channels: Slack (example), Email (to be implemented), Telegram (to be implemented)
