A visual guide to each view, what it shows, what it provides, and the real situations it's built for. Plus how ChainSpiral treats its data.
Getting started
ChainSpiral needs no install and no wallet. Open the app, pick the tokens you care about, and you instantly see, across chains, in real time, which protocols, markets and chains their money flows to, and where it's exposed. The main screen pairs a flow map in the center with real-time monitoring alerts on the right, so "what's happening" and "where" sit side by side.
The whole product is read-only and verification-first: every particle is a real on-chain transfer, and nothing that can't be resolved on-chain is invented. See Data honesty.
First thing you see: tokens flagged right now
The moment you open ChainSpiral, every active alert is rolled up into a single ranked strip, your risk shortlist for the day. Alerts are grouped by token; each token shows its highest current severity and how many alerts it carries, ordered critical-first then by count, so the most urgent token is always top-left. Each card carries the live price and 24h change. Click one to jump straight into that token's Relationship Map or Flow Map.

Info
The home-screen risk shortlist: active alerts collapsed into one card per token, tinted and ranked by severity. Click a card → pick Relationship Map or Flow Map for that token.
Clicking a token, whether from the shortlist above or any alert, opens a quick chooser. Take the Relationship Map to read its exposure and dependency structure, or the Flow Map to watch money move in real time. Either way you land already scoped to that token.

The explore chooser shown on clicking a token: Relationship Map (exposure & dependency structure) or Flow Map (real-time money flow), both pre-scoped to that token.
Flow Map: money in motion
The flow map draws the path of money as a graph: tokens → protocols → markets / vaults, joined across chains by bridges. Real transfers (last 30 minutes) ride the edges as particles, so you literally watch deposits, swaps and withdrawals move.
Live flow: stETH deposited into aave / curve, swapped on uniswap, supplied to a flagged morpho market. Particle size = USD value, color = selected token.
token protocol market vault risk / NAV oracle relationship (dotted)
Two solid lanes on a flow edge = the two directions of flow (deposit vs. withdraw); a dotted line = a relationship only. Switch between Live 30 min (particles) and Baseline 24h (the normal per-edge inflow/outflow) to see what's unusual right now. Nodes with no measurement adapter get a dashed outline, "unmeasured", not "quiet".

When to use it
Spot a bank-run early, a token draining out of one protocol in real time
Track where fresh capital is flowing into a new market or vault
Confirm an alert: jump in and see “where & how” the move happened
Watch a depeg propagate hop by hop through deposits and swaps
Sanity-check that a protocol's reported TVL matches actual transfer activity
Monitoring: alerts, classified
Alerts are generated only from statistically meaningful changes in snapshot diffs, no raw noise. Each is graded critical / warning / info, tagged with token and chain, and clicking one deep-links into a flow map filtered to exactly that token and chain.
The alert panel as it appears beside the flow map. Click any row → a flow map scoped to that token & chain.
What it provides
17+ alert types across three severities (critical / warning / info)
Chain & severity filters, sorted by event-observation time (no misleading lag)
One-click deep-link from every alert into the flow map
A floating mini alert dock visible on any screen, with a new-alert indicator
~15s polling against the latest snapshots
When to use it
Early warning on a stablecoin depeg or a sudden liquidity drop in a market you hold
Catch bad-debt thresholds or utilization spikes on lending markets / curator vaults
Notice new collateral adoption or large unverified exposure as it appears
Hands-off overnight / weekend monitoring of a watchlist
Triage fast, severity + chain filters cut to what actually needs a response
Risk factors, scored: a yield-bearing watchlist
Yield-bearing dollars and staking derivatives are where reflexive-NAV pricing, thin backing and depegs concentrate, so it helps to see the riskiest side by side, sorted worst-first. Each is scored Low / Medium / High on five factors that map to live signals: peg stability (depeg), oracle design, liquidation cascade, backing & supply integrity, and exposure concentration (HHI). The thresholds below are the app's own backtested values.
Low Medium High
How each level is set
Peg — drifts past its normal band (hard stables ≈1.5%, yield/CDP dollars ≈5%, LSTs ≈2%) → Medium; a depeg of ≥8.5% → High.
Oracle — a fixed / NAV price on a volatile asset, or a feed left stale past ~1.75× its heartbeat → High.
Liquidation — market utilization ≥98% (suppliers can't withdraw) or realized bad debt ≥$1M → High; a sudden +15% utilization jump → Medium.
Backing & supply — supply grows +3% in one snapshot → Medium; +10%, or a single unauthorized ~10% mint → High.
Concentration — exposure spread (HHI) 0.25–0.5 → Medium; ≥0.5 (piled into one venue) → High.

A yield-bearing risk watchlist, sorted worst-first from live per-factor scores. USR is flagged critical (depeg + bad-debt); sUSDe, bUSD0, yoUSD and wsuperOETHb carry bespoke-NAV oracle risk. MSY is scored as of its 21 Jun depeg event (−70% spot, 100%-utilized single Morpho market); all other rows are current live values.
Relationship Map: where risk spreads
The relationship map arranges a token's exposure in concentric rings and overlays its money-lego derivative structure. It's not a holdings list, it's a dependency graph, so you can trace how a base asset is re-deposited as derivatives and how far a shock would reach.
sUSDe at the center; its money-lego chain: wrapped into PT / LP, then supplied to pendle, curve, morpho, aave and curator vaults.
What it provides
Money-lego overlay, derivative roles (PT, YT, LP, receipt, wrapper) along an unbroken chain
Exposure concentration: how much of a token sits in which protocol / market / chain
Oracle dependence per market (market, exchange-rate, NAV / self-referential), with NAV flagged red
“Designed endpoints” (sinks) and which yield curator vaults / YT are paid from
Contagion analysis, gauge how far one token's depeg or liquidation reaches
Find single points of failure where exposure is over-concentrated
Audit a re-deposit chain's depth before sizing a position
Assess collateral oracle risk (NAV pricing that can't catch a depeg)
Review a curator vault's backing and where its rewards actually originate
Data honesty
ChainSpiral's first principle is simple: we don't guess.
Every particle is a real on-chain transfer, nothing is synthesized or fabricated.
Counterparties are resolved only via verified registries (CREATE2, MetaRegistry, aToken, Comet, singletons).
Transfers that can't be resolved stay panel-only, never placed on an edge.
If the feed fails, it's stated explicitly (the live-status chip), not disguised as “no activity”.
Nodes without a measurement adapter are shown with a dashed outline as “unmeasured”, not greyed out as if quiet.
All data is informational only and not investment advice. On-chain data may be delayed or reorganized.
FAQ
How real-time is it? The transfer feed runs about 1 minute behind, re-querying a 30-minute window every 30 seconds.
Which chains are supported? Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum for live flow; other chains via alerts and gradual expansion. See coverage →
Do I need to connect a wallet? No. It's read-only monitoring, no wallet connection or signing required.
Where does the data come from? market & TVL aggregators (TVL, prices), transfer indexers (transfers), lending & vault APIs, on-chain RPC (oracle / aToken / Comet checks) and Postgres snapshots (alert diffs, baseline aggregates). Full list →
