Problem
Smart contract exploits and on-chain theft continue to plague decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3 applications, resulting in billions of dollars lost annually. Existing security paradigms have proven insufficient, hindering mainstream adoption due to the high risk of irreversible financial losses for users.
Solution
Firewall is building safe blockspace for rollups by embedding AI into blockchains to filter out exploits. The core product, the Safe Sequencer, is a high-speed, provably neutral processor that uses AI models to identify and mitigate smart contract exploits during block construction, before they can impact users. By integrating Firewall, rollups can enhance their security, differentiate their blockspace, and attract more liquidity. The Safe Sequencer is built around the `reth` client, which uses the Firewall EVM, based on `revm`.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes rollup developers and operators seeking to enhance the security and performance of their blockspace, as well as DeFi users concerned about the risks of on-chain exploits.
