From Blackstone to Blockchain: Enabling Institutional RWA Adoption with Forta Firewall

As blockchain adoption accelerates, TradFi and DeFi are converging, transforming how the world invests, transfers and circulates assets. In this landscape, security and compliance are non-negotiable, and Forta Firewall plays a key role by providing the real-time transaction screening required by institutions.

Since January, Plume has relied on Forta Firewall to screen its ~2.5 million daily transactions for security and compliance risks. This includes transactions from leading RWA vaults like Nest Alpha and Nest Institutional. These vaults give users access to yield from public and private credit, ETFs and money market funds from top-tier managers like Blackstone, Carlyle, Blackrock, Fidelity and PIMCO.

Forta’s transaction screening ensures that both issuers and users stay secure and compliant. Regulatory clarity is essential to channel the growth of onchain finance responsibly, and Forta offers a plug-and-play solution that meets the expectations of regulators, institutions and investors alike. 

Driving the Next Phase of Onchain Finance

Forta Firewall is more than just transaction screening, it’s an enabler of growth. By elevating the compliance and security of RWAs, Firewall creates an environment where institutions feel confident deploying assets onchain, accelerating blockchain adoption in mainstream finance.

Blockchains are starting to be core infrastructure for institutions, helping them future-proof operations, reach new markets and users, and unlock new sources of revenue.

Through its partnership with Plume, Forta Firewall provides the infrastructure that allows top-tier asset managers to embrace blockchain, while ensuring compliance, security and operational integrity every step of the way.
