Risk Alerts

What Ava watches, when it pings you, and what you can control today.

Risk Alerts#

Risk alerts are how Ava earns its keep when nothing seems to be happening. Ava keeps watching in the background; you only hear from it when something matters.

What Ava watches#

  • Aave health factor (HF). How close a borrow position is to liquidation — Ava warns you as it falls.
  • Idle balances. Assets sitting in your wallet earning nothing — useful for catching incoming transfers that could be put to work.
  • Token approvals. Unlimited approvals, and stale ones you no longer use.
  • Wallet activity. Recent transactions — useful if you share a wallet or worry about compromise.

What an alert looks like#

⚠️ Your Aave position dropped to HF 1.3 — liquidation risk is rising.

Here's what's in your wallet: • 500 USDC • 0.2 WETH • 50 LINK.

Three things to notice:

  1. Plain English first, numbers second. You know what's wrong before you read the math.
  2. The action proposal is at fire time, not config time. Ava shows what's actually in your wallet now and proposes a concrete fix that uses real balances, rather than a rule like "if HF < 1.3 → repay 300 USDC" set in advance. (Auto-mode health-factor protection is the other trade-off: fixed steps you set up once, so it can act without waiting for you.)
  3. An alert moves nothing. If you say yes, Ava prepares the transaction and you confirm it on the web. (Only Auto jobs you've already set up act without a prompt.)

Tuning alerts#

Alert settings in Telegram (/alerts) are coming soon. What you can control today, in Ava Studio:

  • Monitoring on or off — the Ava Guardian switch on the Running page (/run).
  • Where alerts reach you — turn Email, Discord, Telegram or Slack notifications on or off on the Settings page (/settings).

See Managing Notifications.

Alerts vs Actions#

Alerts are read-only: an alert is just a message. Actions you ask for need your Confirm on the web — in Manual mode you also sign in your own wallet; in Auto mode, they run under an on-chain agent permission with a total spending limit per token and an expiry. Standing Auto jobs like health-factor protection are the exception to the per-action Confirm: they act on a schedule with no per-run prompt, but still only inside that permission. See Alerts vs Actions →.

Edge cases#

  • Timing. Health-factor protection in Auto mode checks hourly, so a fast market can move between checks.
