Number Formats
A small but high-impact setting — flip it once and every dollar value, market cap, and token amount in your alerts changes shape.
The two formats
Section titled “The two formats”| Value | Compact (default) | Full |
|---|---|---|
$1,234,567.89 | $1.23M | $1,234,567.89 |
$5,672 | $5.67K | $5,672.00 |
$1,234,567,890 | $1.23B | $1,234,567,890.00 |
0.001234 ETH | 0.001234 | 0.001234 |
12,345.67 PEPE | 12,345.67 | 12,345.67 |
Market cap $890,500 | $890.5K | $890,500 |
Market cap $2,450,000 | $2.45M | $2,450,000 |
The thresholds for compact: K at $1,000+, M at $1,000,000+, B at $1,000,000,000+, T at $1,000,000,000,000+. Below $1,000, both formats render the same way (locale-formatted with commas).
For very small token amounts (< 0.01), both formats use additional decimals to preserve precision (e.g. 0.000123).
Where to set it
Section titled “Where to set it”Dashboard → Alert Types → bottom of the page, below the field toggles, above the Save bar. Two side-by-side cards labeled Compact and Full, each with a tiny preview so you can see the difference inline.
When Solana is enabled, the toggle has an EVM/Solana label — set them independently. So $1.23M in your EVM alerts and $1,234,567.89 in your Solana alerts is fine if that’s what you want.
What fields it affects
Section titled “What fields it affects”The format applies to every numeric field that displays a value with magnitude:
| Affected | Not affected |
|---|---|
| Token amounts in swaps and transfers | Wallet labels and addresses |
| USD values | Token contract addresses |
| Market caps | Transaction hashes |
| Liquidity values | Method IDs |
| Holdings percentages | Trading-link button text |
| Gas amounts | Failure reasons |
So flipping the toggle changes how dollars and counts read — it doesn’t touch identifiers or static text.
What “scientific” used to mean (and why it’s not in the UI)
Section titled “What “scientific” used to mean (and why it’s not in the UI)”Older internal type definitions list a third option called scientific (1.23e10 style notation), but that path was never wired into the formatter. The dashboard UI only exposes Compact and Full. If you’ve seen scientific referenced in older docs or comments, treat it as a legacy artifact that didn’t ship.
When to pick which
Section titled “When to pick which”| You usually want | Pick |
|---|---|
| Fast scanning across many alerts a day | Compact — $1.2M is faster to read than $1,234,567.89 |
| Precise reasoning about exact values | Full — every digit visible |
| Mixed (e.g. care about Solana memecoin precision but want EVM compact) | Per-chain toggle: Compact on EVM, Full on Solana |
