After the Drift incident era, Ferno decided to open its monitoring technology and make it available to anyone operating on Solana. DeFi can feel scary because teams watch portfolio moves all day while protocol risk is often treated as unavoidable.
FireWatch is built on a different assumption: protocol risk is not fully avoidable, but a lot can be prevented when evidence is fast, structured, and actionable. That is exactly what FireWatch is for.
FireWatch score is not an audit badge, token rating, or guarantee of safety. It is a live evidence summary showing how much critical proof is attached to a watched project and whether that evidence has been reviewed.
No or very low unresolved critical evidence.
Some critical evidence exists, but current unresolved weight is limited.
Material critical evidence exists and should be inspected before relying on the project.
Heavy unresolved critical evidence. The proof trail matters more than the letter.
Severe unresolved evidence. Treat the project as requiring immediate review.
FireWatch can only score what it observes and understands. A clean score may still miss off-chain risk, economic design risk, hidden dependencies, key management issues, oracle weakness, or brand-new behavior that has not been decoded yet.
For on-demand response workflows, FireWatch can run on Ferno’s dedicated stack: DoubleZero shred stream ingestion, custom send paths, and a multi-tenant transaction sender targeting near-zero slot delay inclusion.
FireWatch is open source. We want protocol teams and operators to improve coverage with us.
