Security

Firewall is developing a security solution for blockchain networks aimed at preventing smart contract exploits. Unlike traditional network firewalls, which monitor transactions based on predefined security criteria, Firewall employs rollups, which aggregate multiple transactions into a single batch, and programmable transaction finalization rules to intercept exploits before they are recorded on the blockchain. Additionally, the firm is developing a proof-of-exploit consensus mechanism to classify smart contract exploits as invalid state transitions, ensuring they are reversed.


The funding will support Firewall’s efforts to grow its team, currently composed of six full-time employees, and to enhance its technological capabilities. The firm aims to provide robust security measures for blockchain networks, addressing vulnerabilities associated with smart contract exploits.
