Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Forta Network provides risk management and security tooling for onchain assets and blockchain infrastructure. Its offering is organized around two products. Forta Risk gives continuous oversight of the dependencies that an asset relies on: direct and indirect (multi-hop) dependencies are identified, quantified in US dollar exposure, and monitored on a block-by-block basis, with a single continuously updated view and real-time alerts delivered by email, webhook, or API. Forta Firewall performs transaction screening at the sequencer level, allowing undesired activity to be screened and stopped before it executes.

The platform is positioned so that malicious and non-compliant transactions can either be blocked prior to execution or responded to after execution. Forta Risk is aimed at asset issuers, asset managers, curators, and protocols, while Forta Firewall is aimed at chains. The network is associated with the $FORT token, which holders can stake to earn rewards while contributing to the security of the network. Forta also operates a news and announcements subscription for updates.

Business model

Forta supplies monitoring and transaction-screening products to onchain institutions: Forta Risk for asset issuers, asset managers, curators, and protocols, and Forta Firewall for chains. The network is powered by the $FORT token, which holders can stake and earn rewards on while contributing to network security.
