Real-Time Monitoring for Chains with Forta Firewall

August 12, 2025

As chains grow, transaction volumes and complexity scale rapidly, bringing increased risk. Chains need more than reactive security. They need proactive visibility. Forta Firewall delivers exactly that.

Monitoring Transactions at Chain Speed

Because Forta Firewall screens every transaction before it executes, chains gain a powerful real-time monitoring capability covering the entire transaction lifecycle.

This isn't traditional alerting that only catches issues after they occur. This monitoring layer complements Firewall’s ability to screen and block threats, giving chains deeper visibility into what’s happening, as it happens.

Precise and relevant alerts in real-time

Forta Firewall adds a layer of observability to the transaction lifecycle, giving chains visibility into abnormal activity as it happens. Instead of finding out after the fact, operators can stay informed in real time across market behavior or infrastructure integrity.

This real-time awareness complements Firewall’s core screening and blocking capabilities, offering a more complete security posture. It also supports the growing demand for transparency and operational insight from entities and institutions operating under stricter risk standards.

Programmable and Embedded in Your Chain

Firewall monitoring is fully programmable, allowing chain operators to customize rules, thresholds, and logic according to their needs, helping chain operators spot issues as they emerge. 

Examples of what Firewall can surface include:

  • Market anomalies – Unusual price movements, volume spikes, or token issuance events that could signal market shifts or emerging economic risks.
  • Infrastructure integrity issues – Irregularities in bridges and oracles, such as feed deviations, latency, or stale data, before they cause incorrect execution or systemic risk.
  • Security threats – Early signs of key theft or unauthorized contract upgrades, enabling chains to respond before an attack occurs.

Chain Infrastructure that Secures Itself

Forta Firewall gives rollups the proactive monitoring they need to operate securely and reliably. It provides real-time visibility across every transaction, helping meet the expectations of stakeholders who demand accountability and resilience from blockchain infrastructure.
