Monitoring Bitcoin addresses is vital for anyone with real skin in the game who needs immediate awareness of transaction activity. Missing a transaction can mean delayed trades, unconfirmed payments, or early warning signs of theft. Hashping delivers instant, private notifications directly to mobile devices without requiring app downloads, account creation, or data collection.
This whitepaper outlines Hashping's technical implementation, use cases, and security model for Bitcoin users who require reliable, private, and immediate transaction notifications.

• Pay once per year in crypto - no hidden charges or recurring fees
Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network where transactions occur 24/7 without centralized notification systems. Missing a transaction can mean delayed trades, unconfirmed payments, or early warning signs of theft. Users face several critical challenges when monitoring their Bitcoin addresses:
Traditional methods require users to manually check blockchain explorers or wallet applications, creating opportunities to miss critical transactions. This is particularly problematic for:
Most existing monitoring solutions require:
Current solutions often suffer from:
Hashping provides a streamlined solution that monitors Bitcoin addresses and delivers instant notifications (under 30 seconds) through SMS and WhatsApp without requiring user registration, data collection, or app downloads.
The Hashping system operates through a simple three-step process:
Hashping is built on three core principles that guide every design decision and feature implementation:
Bitcoin monitoring should be as simple as sending a text message. No complex setup, no learning curve, no technical barriers. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can use Hashping.
Your Bitcoin activity is private. Hashping respects this by never collecting personal data, requiring accounts, or tracking user behavior. We monitor addresses, not people.
When your Bitcoin moves, you need to know immediately. Hashping delivers alerts in under 30 seconds on average, with 99.9% uptime and global coverage through WhatsApp and SMS.
These principles ensure Hashping remains true to Bitcoin's ethos of decentralization, privacy, and user sovereignty while providing essential monitoring capabilities that every Bitcoin user needs.
Hashping embodies Bitcoin's core values of trust minimization and self-sovereignty. Just as Bitcoin eliminates the need for trusted third parties in money, Hashping eliminates the need for trusted third parties in monitoring. Users maintain full control over their data and addresses, with no intermediaries collecting or storing personal information.
Hashping's architecture is designed for reliability, scalability, and privacy. The system consists of several key components:
The core monitoring system continuously scans new Bitcoin blocks for transactions involving monitored addresses. This includes:
Dual-channel notification system ensures reliable message delivery:
The system is designed with privacy as a core principle:
Hashping is built for continuous operation with multiple safeguards:
Hashping serves multiple critical use cases across different user types in the Bitcoin ecosystem:
Peace of mind for cold storage and personal Bitcoin management
Monitor cold storage addresses for unexpected activity, providing early warning of potential security breaches or unauthorized access attempts. Essential for long-term Bitcoin storage strategies.
Monitor addresses used for exchange withdrawals to ensure funds arrive safely and detect any unexpected activity. Provides peace of mind when moving funds from centralized exchanges.
Track multi-signature wallet addresses to ensure all required signatures are present and detect any unauthorized transaction attempts.
Operational visibility for merchants and corporate Bitcoin management
Track business Bitcoin wallets for incoming payments, outgoing transactions, and overall account activity. Critical for businesses accepting Bitcoin payments or managing corporate treasury.
Monitor payment addresses to confirm customer transactions and track business revenue. Essential for Bitcoin-accepting merchants and service providers.
Market awareness for whale watching and transaction analysis
Monitor addresses when sending Bitcoin to exchanges or to your own addresses when withdrawing from exchanges. Track when funds arrive at your destination addresses after exchange withdrawals.
Monitor addresses used to obscure transaction patterns to detect potential surveillance or analysis attempts. Helps identify if specific addresses are being watched by third parties.
Hashping is designed to monitor addresses without ever touching your keys or personal data. Hashping is an awareness tool, not a prevention tool - understanding what Hashping can and cannot protect against is crucial for users:
Hashping is a monitoring tool, not a security solution. It provides early warning and awareness, but users must implement proper security practices for their private keys and wallet management.
Hashping operates in a competitive landscape with several alternatives, each with distinct trade-offs:
Pros: Free, comprehensive transaction data, no registration required
Cons: Manual checking required, no real-time notifications, time-consuming for multiple addresses
Pros: Often free, API access available
Cons: Require technical setup, account creation, data collection, limited reliability, complex integration
Pros: Integrated with wallet, familiar interface
Cons: Only works with specific wallets, requires app installation, limited to wallet's addresses
Pros: Integrated with trading platform
Cons: Only for exchange addresses, centralized control, data collection, limited to exchange ecosystem
Where others require logins, apps, or data sharing, Hashping works anywhere, privately, with any address.
