• Full validator state check
• Registration status
• General validator information

Committee Monitoring (Every minute)

• Current epoch committee status
• Next epoch committee status
• Rapid detection of committee changes

Notification Delivery

Instant Delivery

All notifications are sent immediately when changes are detected. There's no delay or batching - you'll know about changes as soon as the bot detects them.

Reliability

• Notifications are sent via Telegram's reliable messaging system
• If Telegram is temporarily unavailable, the bot will retry
• Your subscription settings are preserved even if the bot restarts

Message Format

All notifications use:

• Bold text for important information
• Monospace for addresses and technical data
• Emojis for quick visual recognition
• Timestamps for tracking when changes occurred

Managing Notifications

Can I customize notifications?

Currently, all committee change notifications are sent automatically. Future updates may include notification preferences.

What if I miss a notification?

• Check your validator status anytime with /status
• View historical events with /events
• Telegram saves all messages in your chat history

Notification Language

Notifications are sent in your selected language. Change it anytime with /language.

Tips for Validators

1. Act on Next Epoch notifications - When selected for the next epoch, ensure your validator is ready
