About
Forta Network is a blockchain security platform designed for teams building onchain who need robust risk management. Its flagship product, Forta Firewall, leverages AI and transaction simulation to identify and block malicious transactions before they execute — achieving over 99% recall with a false positive rate under 0.0002%. The platform covers three critical pillars: Security (blocking exploits and scams in real time), Compliance (screening against sanctions lists like OFAC SDN and other regulatory requirements), and Monitoring (alerting teams to asset depegs, oracle malfunctions, and anomalous transactions). Forta integrates effortlessly with protocols and rollups, requiring no custom code or infrastructure changes. It has partnerships with leading RaaS providers including Gelato, Conduit, Quicknode, and Zeeve, enabling any rollup on these platforms to activate Firewall instantly. The network is decentralized and powered by the $FORT token, which holders can stake to earn rewards while contributing to network security. Forta is already live on major chains including Celo, Plume, and Ink, offering real-time transaction prevention at the sequencer level. It is purpose-built for DeFi protocols, rollup operators, and institutions with complex compliance requirements who cannot afford the financial or reputational cost of onchain exploits.

Use Cases
- DeFi protocols blocking smart contract exploits and flash loan attacks in real time before they cause financial damage.
- Rollup operators activating sequencer-level compliance screening to meet institutional and regulatory requirements without disrupting users.
- Real-world asset (RWA) chains ensuring OFAC sanctions compliance at the infrastructure layer while onboarding institutional clients.
- Blockchain foundations and chains monitoring for anomalous transactions, oracle malfunctions, and asset depegs with instant alerting.
- Web3 teams requiring a unified security, compliance, and monitoring dashboard without building custom threat detection infrastructure.
Pros
- Exceptional Detection Accuracy: Achieves over 99% recall with an extremely low false positive rate (<0.0002%), minimizing disruption to legitimate users.
- Effortless Onboarding: No development work required for chains on supported RaaS platforms — activation is near-instant with no code changes.
- Comprehensive Risk Coverage: Addresses security, compliance, and operational monitoring in a single integrated solution, reducing the need for multiple vendors.
Cons
- Primarily Protocol & Chain-Focused: Designed for blockchain protocols, rollups, and institutions — not suited for individual developers or small dApp projects.
- Opaque Public Pricing: No publicly listed pricing tiers; access requires requesting a demo, which may slow onboarding for smaller teams.
- Ecosystem Dependency: Zero-code activation is only available on specific RaaS provider platforms; other chains may require more integration effort.
