**Follow along with this video:** --- ### Introduction to Forta Bot In this lesson, we will guide you through creating your own Forta Bot. Forta is a network designed to scan blockchains and listen for specific alerts, enabling you to build and deploy bots to this network. ### What is Forta? Forta is a decentralized network for monitoring blockchain activity and detecting malicious transactions. You can develop and deploy bots to the Forta network, effectively creating a "bot chain." Learn more about Forta in their [documentation](https://docs.forta.network/en/latest/intro-to-bot-dev/). ### Building Your Forta Bot This tutorial [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42RcaQ8YTzQ) will walk you through the process of creating a Forta Bot. You will learn how to: - Write and deploy your own monitoring scripts - Detect and respond to malicious transactions - Understand the key considerations when building monitoring systems ### Why Use Forta? By creating a Forta Bot, you gain the ability to monitor blockchain activity independently. This tutorial will equip you with the knowledge to manage and respond to potential threats effectively. --- For a step-by-step guide, watch the [video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42RcaQ8YTzQ) and refer to the Forta [documentation](https://docs.forta.network/en/latest/intro-to-bot-dev/).
