Firewall is building safe blockspace.
I often draw a parallel between the state of crypto-networks today to the early internet, effectively naked with no basic security infrastructure. Today, blockchains simply accept anything that meets some basic cryptographic checks.
The idea of Safe Blockspace stemmed from the concept that today across blockchains “blockspace” is inherently unsafe because anything sent to the network is accepted, there’s no filter or guards in place, think of the early internet when viruses ran rampant. Safe blockspace implies the default for blockspace today is unsafe — which is a clear fact. Billions of dollars are stolen per year from smart contracts and onchain users. Try explaining how these systems work to someone external to the industry, they’ll think you’re insane. If you read “Introducing Firewall”, you’ll see I think we all may collectively be to accept the status quo…
For those unfamiliar with the term, “blockspace” is the blockchain equivalent of bandwidth in the internet. It’s the blocks that provide the hosting and execution of crypto applications via smart contracts.
Firewall’d blockspace is safe blockspace. Filtering out hacks, exploits, and thefts with a renewed priority on protecting users assets that is significantly and obviously missing today. We embed intelligent filtering via our AI right into the execution layer of a blockchain to create a safer environment for users funds to be stored on. For those wondering, yes, Firewall is crypto x AI — in a manner with real utility.
How does Safe Blockspace all actually work? Direct your attention to the Safe Sequencer, which is how we implement our story and yearn for change in technical form.
