Forta Firewall + Gelato: Ink’s Integration Sets the Standard

Ink’s recent integration of Forta Firewall sets a new standard for how Gelato users can seamlessly implement powerful, real-time security and compliance across their chains. 

As institutional adoption grows, chains require both real-time security and compliance. Forta Firewall enables customizable real-time transaction screening with sub-10 ms latency.

Why Forta Firewall?

Forta Firewall can be fully tailored to an L2s needs, allowing them to choose what to monitor, set thresholds and decide whether to block high-risk transactions or simply flag them. In 2025, Firewall expanded beyond exploit detection to cover scams like phishing and rug pulls, freeze lists, allow lists, compliance screening and real-time monitoring of risks such as stablecoin depegging, oracle malfunctioning and abnormal token flows.

What This Means for Gelato Users

Integration is simple. Gelato-powered L2s can plug Forta Firewall directly into their existing infrastructure, gaining advanced protection with zero development work involved.

Having monitored over 220 million transactions across the ecosystem, Forta now empowers every Gelato user to join the growing network of rollups relying on Firewall for real-time security, compliance, and monitoring.
