Deployment & Smart Contracts
Security - Deployment & Smart Contracts
The Foundation has required deployment through GitHub CI and OpenZeppelin's Defender product. For off-chain assets, critical pull requests must go through a required review that upon the merge are gated by successful tests, node scanner software is gated through a state update in the ScannerNodeVersion contract, and smart contract deployments/changes are handled through OpenZeppelin’s Defender product and relayers and are controlled by multisigs. This process ensures that the Forta Network cannot be changed, even in the event of a security breach by an individual involved in any of the development processes.
Lastly, most of the contracts in the Forta Network are upgradeable. Therefore, if you are going to interact with an Upgradeable contract, always use the Proxy address.
Multi-Sig
Forta is managed through three main Gnosis Safe Multi Sig contracts:
- 0xC0eb11fBC755D31c6FECEaAc8760ddCb88C64fE1 (Ethereum mainnet). 4/7 controlled by the Council members
- 0x30ceaeC1d8Ed347B91d45077721c309242db3D6d (Polygon mainnet). 4/7 controlled by the Council members
- 0xd1d4FaFd400fCD643132bb7eAF7682eE97E09C3e (Polygon mainnet). The Council members may delegate certain roles and corresponding signing authority. Currently, administrative roles have been delegated to a 3/9 multisig with members of the Foundation staff and certain members of the original core development team.
The Council multisigs have the following roles:

Contract Administration
Forta contracts are managed through OpenZeppelin's Defender product utilizing relays to manage smart contract deployment and maintenance.
Deployed Smart Contract Addresses
Forta Network uses smart contracts to coordinate registration and ownership of Scanner Nodes and Detection Bots (referred to by their former name of Agents in this release), the assignments of Bots and Scanners, the accepted Scanner Node software version and the economic safety mechanisms of the network via the ERC20 FORT Token.
To learn more, read the smart contracts GitHub repo, the documentation for the contracts, or the smart contract architecture diagram in the Design page.

Pause Functionality
Currently, Forta does not implement Pause functionality in its smart contracts. In lieu of Pause functionality, the contracts’ upgradability could be utilized to pause the contracts in the event of responding to an incident. Additionally, Forta does not incorporate the usage of Oracles, and therefore has no risk of Oracle manipulation attacks.
Timelock
Forta has no implementation of a Timelock. Since changes to the contracts require an execution from the 4/7 Forta Council multisig, this process fulfills the need of a Timelock’s functionality.
Forta On-Chain Monitoring
Forta on-chain activity is monitored by Forta Detection Bots and feeds into Forta Network's incident response process. The following detection bots were developed specifically for the Forta smart contracts. The code is available on GitHub.
- Forta Access Control Role Changed
- Forta Access Manager - Router Updated
- Forta Admin Bot Scanner Disable
- Forta Agent Updated
- Forta Agents Linked
- Forta Core Monitoring
- Forta Emitting Upgraded
- Forta Mint Mainnet
- Forta Scanner Node Software Updated
- Forta Staking Events
- Forta Staking Parameters
- Forta High Number Of Bot Deployments
- Forta Routing Updated
- Forta Stake Controller Changed
- Forta Stake Threshold Changed
- Forta Token Role Changes
- Forta Whitelist Disabling
Forta is also monitored by the bots in the Threat Detection Kits.
Forta Off-Chain Monitoring
Lastly, several operational monitors exist around the performance of the network, such as latency, API usage, deployments, etc.
