Coinbase Wallet Adds Crypto Trading Alerts From Notifi

Users of Coinbase’s mobile crypto wallet will now be able to receive automatic alerts about what’s happening on-chain via messaging service Notifi.

Perpetual exchange GMX is the first customer of the service, according to a press release. Clients of the Arbitrum and Avalanche-based platform will receive notifications about pending liquidations and management updates, and will also be able to design their own automated beacons.

“If you’re not constantly monitoring what’s happening on the chain, it’s impossible to keep track,” Notifi CEO Paul Kim said in an interview.

The service marks an expansion of Coinbase’s messaging channels built on XMTP. Since last July, the XMTP protocol has allowed Coinbase wallet users to send messages among themselves. The press release stated that Notifi also uses the XMTP protocol.
