# Notifications

## What is required for just notifications? <a href="#bkmrk-page-title" id="bkmrk-page-title"></a>

Monitoring notifications are free and simple to set up.

1. Register an account on [https://app.thekillswitch.io](https://app.thekillswitch.io/)<br>
2. Navigate to settings -> contact settings and create the method/handle.
3. Navigate to notifications -> add and fill out the appropriate information selecting the contact method you created.
4. Done.

Without a subscription, each account is restricted to 3 setup notifications per chain.

## Is the KillSwitch App required for notifications? <a href="#bkmrk-page-title" id="bkmrk-page-title"></a>

No.  It is not.  In the settings, your own contact methods can be created and assigned to the notification, side-stepping the app altogether.<br>

The KillSwitch App is required for trigger activation because we have the ability to measure the amount of time from send/receives and take that into account when determining the time until a trigger is activated after not receiving a response.  We cannot do that with Twitter, Discord or any other notification method.

## KillSwitch supports multiple chains but I'm only seeing a few for notifications? <a href="#bkmrk-page-title" id="bkmrk-page-title"></a>

Correct.

Blockchains that support smart contracts are restricted to the chain that the connected wallet is set to.  To monitor addresses on Ethereum, you must be connected to the Ethereum network.

Blockchains that do not support smart contracts are accessible to be set across all chains.  However, they are only visible when connected on the chain they were set with.
