Blockworks Cuts Crypto Risk Alerts to 5 Seconds Using AI Agents

The headline number is the latency, but the real shift is structural: crypto risk monitoring has been bottlenecked by human triage, and compressing that loop changes what kinds of events are even monitorable. This matters most for desks and platforms whose exposure windows are shorter than a manual review cycle. The open question is whether speed holds up on ambiguous signals, where a fast alert without context can be worse than a slow one — and whether other data and media shops treat this as a build-or-buy moment.
