Forta provides a real‑time on‑chain firewall that monitors transaction streams, uses AI‑driven simulations to detect and block malicious calls before execution, and screens transactions against sanctions lists. The service integrates without code changes via rollup and infrastructure partners, delivering instant alerts and detailed logs for protocol teams, rollup operators, and DeFi applications.

Problem
Web3 applications and blockchain protocols face continuous threats from malicious transactions, smart‑contract exploits, and regulatory compliance breaches, yet existing security tools often require extensive integration effort and provide delayed detection, leaving assets vulnerable in real time.
Solution
Forta delivers a real‑time on‑chain firewall that monitors transaction streams, identifies malicious activity using AI‑driven simulations, and blocks harmful transactions before they are executed. The platform also screens transactions against sanctions and other regulatory lists to ensure compliance. Alerts are generated instantly for critical events such as asset depegs, oracle anomalies, or exploit attempts, and detailed logs are made available through a web dashboard. Integration is designed to be zero‑code: rollup providers and dApp teams can enable the firewall via existing infrastructure partners without modifying their smart contracts. The service operates at the sequencer layer, providing continuous protection while preserving the permissionless nature of blockchain transactions.
Target Audience
The primary customers are blockchain protocol teams, rollup operators, and DeFi applications that require continuous on‑chain risk mitigation and regulatory compliance monitoring.
