faq:
  - question: "Why do crypto platforms need a status page?"
    answer: "Downtime in crypto means lost trades and lost trust. A status page gives your users a single source of truth during incidents — reducing support tickets, preventing panic, and demonstrating operational maturity to institutional partners."
  - question: "Can I monitor blockchain RPC endpoints?"
    answer: "Yes. Openstatus monitors any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint. You can monitor RPC nodes, REST APIs, WebSocket endpoints, and more with custom assertions to validate response correctness."
  - question: "Do you support custom domains?"
    answer: "Yes. Host your status page on your own domain (e.g., status.exchange.com) to maintain brand trust. Custom domains are available on paid plans."
  - question: "Can I protect my status page for institutional clients?"
    answer: "Yes. Use password protection or magic link authentication to create private status pages for institutional partners or internal teams."

## Why crypto platforms need a status page

When your exchange goes down, users don't wait — they panic. A status page is the difference between **"we're handling it"** and **"are they exit scamming?"**

For institutional partners, a status page signals operational maturity. For retail users, it builds trust.

## Built for always-on platforms

### 28 global regions

Monitor your APIs from regions that match your user base. Detect regional outages before your users report them.

### API monitoring with assertions

Validate that your endpoints return correct data — not just that they respond. Check status codes, headers, and response bodies to catch silent failures.

### Instant alerts

Get notified via **Slack**, **Discord**, **PagerDuty**, **OpsGenie**, **SMS**, or **webhook** the moment something degrades. Route alerts to your on-call team.

### Branded status page

Host on your own domain. Customize with your brand. Show your users you take reliability seriously.

### Subscriber notifications

Let users subscribe for email updates. When you push a status report, they're informed automatically — reducing support load during incidents.

### Password-protected pages

Create private status pages for institutional partners or internal operations teams with **password protection** or **magic link authentication**.
