Forta
Nethermind wants to see the ‘Heartbeat of Ethereum Security’ on Forta
Smart contracts and the decentralized economy have seen amazing growth in the past 2 years, including huge growth in transaction volume and Total Value Locked. However, there have also been many highly-publicized hacks and exploits. Such events are cause…
Meeting demands of growth & moving to Polygon
Great news Forta devs and users! The community is growing faster than we expected and to keep up with the overwhelming demand we began migrating all Forta smart contracts from Goerli to Polygon today at 12:00 UTC.
This will provide the infrastructure needed to add horizontal node scaling, a new assigner with registry listing, in addition to an enhanced smart contract protocol, as well as laying the groundwork for upcoming improvements and new features that the core developers can’t wait to share with all of you. This is an essential step in the protocol roadmap, so keep your eye on the #announcements channel in Discord for news about the next product release in the coming weeks!
Alerts and current published agents will be unavailable while we transition.
For Agent Developers
-The Forta team will transfer all existing agents over to Polygon. Nothing required from you to make this happen.
-Agent devs will need a new SDK to publish agents after the transition. The new SDK will be linked here, as well as on the current developer SDK.
-For the coming weeks, devs will need to get MATIC tokens to publish on Polygon, information will be provided in the SDK docs. We are introducing a better solution to this soon.
For Agent reporting and alerts
-The transition process began today at 12:00 UTC, and will be completed by Wednesday October 20th at 12:00 UTC. Once it has begun, no alerts will be triggered until it is completed.
-Published agents (both existing and new) will not show up until the transition is complete.
-Agents can still be published during the transition, but will not show up immediately. Please don’t freak out. Nothing is being lost, we promise 🙂
