I Need Event Detection
You don’t have event monitoring in place yet and need a complete solution. Dialect provides open-source monitoring tooling (Dialect Monitor) that can detect on-chain and off-chain events automatically. This is ideal when you want a ready-made solution for common blockchain events. Best for: On-chain events, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, standard blockchain monitoring needs, teams without existing monitoring infrastructure. Learn how to set up Dialect Monitor →I Have Event Detection
You already have event detection systems in your backend (webhooks, database triggers, custom monitoring, existing alerting systems) and want to integrate Dialect’s alert sending directly into your existing workflows using our SDK or API. Best for: Custom business logic, existing backend systems, complex event patterns, off-chain events, teams with established monitoring infrastructure.
