Network Pulse is a live feed of the on-chain events worth noticing. Set it to the kind of activity you care about and it streams matching events as they land — new deployments, flash loans, large transfers, ownership changes, and proxy upgrades — so you see significant moves across a network without watching every block yourself.
Why it exists
Most on-chain activity is noise; a handful of event kinds are where risk concentrates. A fresh deployment can be a scam contract, a flash loan often precedes a manipulation attack, an ownership change or proxy upgrade can hand control to someone new. Network Pulse filters the firehose down to those categories so you can spot the shape of something happening — a wave of upgrades, an unusual flash-loan spike — while it is still current.
Who uses it
- Threat researcher — watches for the event kinds that precede attacks and pulls anything suspicious into a deeper analysis.
- Monitoring analyst — keeps an eye on ownership changes and proxy upgrades across the contracts they care about.

Using the feed
Use filter by event kind to focus the stream:
- Deployments — newly created contracts.
- Flash loans — flash-loan activity, often the first step of an attack.
- Large transfers — outsized value movements.
- Ownership changes — transfers of contract ownership or admin.
- Proxy upgrades — implementation swaps behind a proxy.
- All events — everything, unfiltered.
Limits
- Network Pulse is a discovery surface for network-wide activity; to track specific addresses in an active case, use Watchlist.
- It highlights that an event happened — open the contract or transaction it points at to analyse what it means.
