# How does Aegis work?

Aegis continuously scans every on-chain interaction associated with the monitored smart contract address. Our AI-powered threat detection model then flags suspicious activity, categorizing the associated addresses based on severity and adding them to the database for further analysis. Alerts and the data on a potentially malicious interaction are pushed to the platform within a fraction of a second of being mined. Any interaction that warrants a warning is made available via your monitored address page.
