As interchain security and IBC activities become more intricate, there is a critical need for specialized tools to monitor these interactions effectively and to detect and respond to anomalies promptly. To address this pressing issue, AADAO has awarded an $85,000 grant to develop advanced monitoring and alerting capabilities specifically tailored for Interchain Security (ICS)-specific messages, IBC, and IBC rate limits.
This grant will support the integration of the Cosmos Hub and consumer chains, Stride and Neutron, into the Range alerting and monitoring platform. The goal is to provide users with comprehensive tools to monitor IBC inflows and outflows within the Atom Economic Zone (AEZ) and to ensure real-time visibility of interchain communication. The integration will allow users to access a user-friendly interface for real-time alerts and analytics and enables developers to utilize the Range SDK for enhanced monitoring capabilities.
Grant milestones include the development of real-time dashboards for tracking IBC activity between the Cosmos Hub, Stride, and Neutron, enabling users to create customized analytic dashboards and set threshold alerts for notifications via Slack, Telegram, or Discord. The platform will also support monitoring for ICS-specific events, such as CCV timeouts, validator set changes, packet anomalies, slash proposals, relayer fund issues, and reward distribution anomalies. Additionally, open-source rules based on ICS data will be developed to help detect bugs and anomalies, providing a valuable resource for developers.
By funding this project, AADAO is addressing the crucial need for advanced monitoring solutions in the Cosmos ecosystem, enhancing the ability to detect and respond to issues in real time. This initiative is vital for maintaining the security and efficiency of interchain operations and supports the overall resilience of the Atom Economic Zone (AEZ).
