Bitcoin monitoring FAQ
Answers about Bitcoin address monitoring, XPUB tracking, BTC balance alerts, notification delivery, and watch-only safety.
Do I need to share private keys or seed phrases?
No. Watch My BTC is for watch-only monitoring and never needs seed phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords.
Can Watch My BTC spend or move my Bitcoin?
No. The app monitors public Bitcoin address and XPUB-derived balance data. It cannot sign transactions or move BTC from watched wallets.
What is an XPUB?
An XPUB is an extended public key that can derive many public receiving addresses from a Bitcoin wallet. It does not grant spending control, but it can reveal related address activity.
How are balance alerts delivered?
When a watched balance change is detected, alerts can be sent through configured email, Slack, Discord, or webhook destinations.
Can I monitor multiple addresses?
Yes. You can monitor individual Bitcoin addresses, and XPUB monitoring is available for workflows that need derived-address visibility.
Is Watch My BTC financial advice?
No. Watch My BTC provides monitoring and notification tooling, not investment, tax, legal, or financial advice. Review the terms and privacy page for more detail.
