This template helps you, as someone holding positions on Stellar, set up monitoring for what you own, without needing a formal threat model. Fill in one row per position or wallet you care about: what could go wrong, when you want to be alerted, and what you’ll do about it. Directions: Fill out each section below to the best of your ability. Keep the same position in the same row across every table so the plan reads straight across.

​
What am I protecting?

Directions: List the positions and wallets you hold and care about. Input text: a short description of each position and where it lives.

​
What would going wrong look like?

Directions: In plain language, note what “something going wrong” would look like for each position, and the level of concern using the reminders below.

​
How concerned am I?

​
What will alert me?

Directions: Turn each concern into a specific condition you can be alerted on, and choose how you want to be notified.
Don’t assume the protocol is watching your specific position. Its monitoring is tuned to the health of the whole system; yours should be tuned to your concerns.

​
What will I do?

Directions: Decide your action before an alert fires — it’s much harder to think clearly once one does. Status values: Watching (alerts active) or Paused (temporarily off).

​
Did I set this up well?

  • Does every position I care about have at least one alert?
  • Are my “alert me when” conditions specific enough that I could act on them?
  • Do I know what I’ll do before an alert fires?
  • Is my list of addresses still current?
  • Am I relying on a protocol to watch something that only I can see for my own position?
Revisit this whenever you open, close, or change a position.
