Treasury Monitor, explained

Every other service on this site is a one-time check. This one never stops looking.

A DAO treasury is a shared pool of crypto — often millions of dollars — controlled by a multisig wallet (usually Gnosis Safe), where a set number of people have to sign off before any transaction goes through. That's a good safety design on paper. In practice, almost nobody outside the core team actually watches it day to day. Most token holders and contributors only find out money moved when someone posts about it afterward, if they post about it at all.

Treasury Monitor is a standing watch on one specific Safe address. It checks in every few hours for three things: a new transaction sitting in the signing queue, a single transaction that moved an unusually large share of one holding, and a transfer to a destination the treasury has never sent to before. None of these automatically mean something's wrong — a big payment to a known contractor is normal. But they're exactly the kind of thing you'd want a human to at least glance at, and most people never do because checking a block explorer regularly isn't anyone's job.

How this helps you specifically: if you hold tokens in a DAO, contribute to one, or just want to know your money is being watched by more than the same three people who control it — this gives you (or your community) an independent, automatic second set of eyes, without anyone having to remember to check.

What you get: your choice of a weekly PDF digest by email, real-time Telegram alerts when something's flagged, or both. You pick a Gnosis Safe address and a chain, we do the watching.

Have a DAO treasury that could use a second set of eyes?
