Hermes DeFi teams up with EPNS to bring Web3 push notifications to DeFi applications
Throughout the rapid pace of change, growth, and innovation within the cryptocurrency environment, user awareness and notifications continue to play a crucial role in being current with updates. Ethereum Push Notification Service provides a service that is severely lacking within the Web3 space the ability to notify and communicate with users via their wallet address after opting into the service.
At this time, users need to manually check social media outlets of projects they invest in to get the latest updates. For example, in order to get updates with the Hermes protocol, you need to check our official Discord, Twitter, or other social media outlets. Partnering with EPNS allows us to automate the notification process to bring real-time updates to the user.
Hermes DeFi is working with EPNS to bring a variety of notifications about our DeFi applications to users. Together, we can make the most advanced DeFi notification system available on any blockchain. Let’s provide a quick walkthrough of what using EPNS with Hermes DeFi will look like when it becomes available.
To receive notifications, users will have to first Opt-in to the official Hermes DeFi Channel. Doing so will allow us to broadcast messages to all subscribers as well as allow users to set up personalized notifications for their DeFi positions (more on that later).
Some examples of the events that will be broadcasted (sent to the Inbox) of Opt-in users will be:
- The opening or closing of a new Farm or Dual Farm
- Governance Votes and Results
- Transparency notifications of token movements from developer multi-sigs
- Any emergency notifications
- DeFi notifications (Rewards ready to be claimed, bonding period over, liquidation risk, etc.)
Users will be able to receive these (and eventually more customized notifications) on Desktop (browser extension), or Mobile (iOS and Android applications), allowing for further customization of when and where you get notifications.
We are extremely excited to start working with EPNS and will be the first DeFi platform on the Harmony blockchain to offer such services. In the future, we hope to expand the customization of these notifications, integrate notifications into our front-end interface, and more! The sky’s the limit, and we live in the clouds.

About Ethereum Push Notification Service
EPNS is building the world’s first open communication layer for the Web3 ecosystem, first for Ethereum and then for L2s and other blockchains. The protocol enables any smart contracts, dApps or traditional servers to send notifications tied to wallet addresses of a user in a platform agnostic fashion (ie: notifs can be integrated and shown on any crypto wallet, mobile apps, extension or dApps).
