Forta Network continues to strengthen blockchain security beyond traditional threat detection. @ajbeal from Forta has joined Lido's critical contingency committee (Reseal), demonstrating their commitment to multi-layer security through governance participation. Key developments: - Integration with Lido's governance structure - Focus on resilient security design - Expansion beyond threat detection This follows Forta's earlier launch of Forta Firewall, designed to help rollups and protocols prevent hacks proactively.

A significant security breach has affected GemPad across multiple blockchains - Ethereum, BSC, and Base - resulting in a $2M loss through a reentrancy attack. The incident was detected by Forta Firewall's security systems. This attack follows a pattern of recent crypto security incidents, including: - Penpie's $27M reentrancy exploit - Onyx Protocol's $4.2M market manipulation - Bedrock DeFi's $1.7M smart contract vulnerability These incidents highlight the growing importance of preventative security measures in DeFi protocols. **Learn More**: Visit Forta's blog to understand how these attacks can be prevented.

Forta has introduced a new Web3 firewall solution that integrates directly into transaction flows to prevent reentrancy attacks. Key features include: - Blocks malicious transactions before block inclusion - 99%+ attack detection rate with <0.001% false positives - Response time under 50 milliseconds - More effective than traditional auto-pausing methods The system functions similarly to Web2 application firewalls but is specifically designed for blockchain environments. All transactions must pass through the firewall before execution, providing enhanced security compared to frontrunning-based protection methods. **Learn more**: Check out Forta Firewall on Product Hunt to explore its capabilities.

DeFi attacks originating from private mempools have increased from 14% to 48% in just two years. These hidden pools bypass traditional defenses, posing a significant threat to crypto security. Private mempools allow attackers to execute transactions secretly, evading front-running defenses like protocol pauses or rescue transactions. Forta Firewall offers a solution by: - Simulating transactions in real-time - Blocking malicious actions from private mempools - Preventing attacks without pausing protocols or affecting legitimate users As DeFi attacks evolve, prevention becomes crucial.
