Forta Network

Forta Network is a decentralized, community-driven Web3 security and real-time runtime monitoring network designed to detect threats, smart contract exploits, and operational anomalies across blockchain protocols and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. While traditional smart contract security focuses on pre-deployment code audits that cannot catch zero-day vulnerabilities or live operational attacks, Forta provides a decentralized network of independent node runners and security bots that scan every blockchain transaction and block in real time. Developers and security teams can write custom detection bots in Python or TypeScript, or subscribe to community-maintained bots that monitor for known attack patterns—such as flash loan attacks, reentrancy exploits, private key compromises, rug pulls, and anomalous money transfers. When a detection bot flags suspicious activity on-chain, Forta emits an instantaneous alert via webhooks, Slack, or Telegram, enabling DeFi protocols to trigger automated circuit breakers, pause vulnerable smart contracts, or alert incident response teams before funds are drained. Operating across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, and BNB Chain, Forta Network delivers decentralized, transparent runtime security that protects Web3 ecosystems against catastrophic financial exploits.
