Thresholds and Cooldowns

Correct threshold and cooldown settings matter more than the alert feature itself. Bad values create noise. Good values create timing signal.

Choosing thresholds​

  • For routine sends, start with the Average lane.
  • For urgent operations, use the Fast lane as your safety threshold.
  • For opportunistic execution, compare the current lane against the 24h or 7d range in Gas Explorer before locking a number.
  • Revisit thresholds when market regime changes are frequent.

Choosing cooldowns​

The current app exposes practical preset windows such as:

  • 30m
  • 1h
  • 4h
  • 1d

Use them like this:

  • short cooldowns: very time-sensitive operations
  • medium cooldowns: balanced day-to-day monitoring
  • long cooldowns: broad awareness without repeated noise
  1. Use Dashboard or Gas Explorer to inspect current and recent market context.
  2. Set a threshold in gwei based on real recent behavior, not memory.
  3. Start with 1h if you are unsure.
  4. Review how often the alert fires after a few days.
  5. Split one noisy alert into multiple narrower alerts if needed.
