Alert on a swap spike in a DEX pool
Each trade in a Uniswap V2-style pool emits Swap. SmartAlert counts swaps in 5-minute windows and alerts when they are far above the norm for this hour of the day, so the busy afternoon does not look like an incident and a burst at night does.

Why it matters
A sudden wave of swaps is how arbitrage on a broken price, a sandwich bot or an exploit looks from the outside. You want to look at the pool before your users do.
