Hypernative alternative for smaller teams

Hypernative is a strong product for protocols with real TVL and a security team. It covers 70+ chains, ships 300+ threat templates, uses ML and mempool detection, and can respond on its own: pause a contract, block a transaction, unwind a position. It is used by over 350 organisations, raised a $40M Series B in 2025, and sells through a demo with no public price.

A team that has just shipped and audited a contract often needs less: know within a minute when something unusual happens on it. SmartAlert does that, self-serve, from a pasted address.

“—” means the sources don’t say.

Honestly

When to choose Hypernative

  1. You hold significant TVL

    and need detection before execution and an automatic response.

  2. You need many chains

    , beyond Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base and Arbitrum.

  3. You have a security team

    that will tune templates and handle incidents around the clock.

When SmartAlert fits

When SmartAlert fits

  • You need alerts on your own contracts this week, not after a procurement cycle.
  • Your budget is a line item, not a security contract: $0 to $99 a month, published.
  • You want to know which rules are noisy before you turn them on, from 30 days of your contract's history.
  • Your contract's activity changes through the day. SmartAlert compares each hour with the same hour on previous days.
FAQ

FAQ

Can SmartAlert pause my contract?

No. It alerts. Pausing needs your own admin action or an automated response product.

Can I start with SmartAlert and move later?

Yes. Nothing is installed in the contract, so there is nothing to undo.

Try it on your own contract

An address is enough. The first 14 days get Pro limits, and rules are checked on history before they go live.
