Limitations and Data Scope
Forge is powerful, but it’s not perfect. Knowing what it can and can’t do will help you ask better questions, interpret answers properly, and avoid relying on it for things it was never meant to do.
This page outlines the current limitations of Forge, the boundaries of the data it uses, and what’s planned for future improvement.
What Forge Can Do
Forge is designed for:
Analyzing fresh token launches
Tracking wallets, deployers, and sniper activity
Detecting LP changes and rug patterns
Surfacing red flags fast
Summarizing complex on-chain activity in seconds
It works best in the fast-moving world of Solana memecoins, where real-time decision-making matters.
What Forge Can’t Do
Forge is not a trading bot, a prediction engine, or a replacement for your own judgment.
It cannot:
Predict price movements
Tell you when to buy or sell
Guarantee token safety
Replace a full code audit
Handle cross-chain analysis (yet)
Its role is to assist, not act.
Data Scope
Forge currently works only on the Solana blockchain. All of its agents, indexers, and logic are tailored to Solana’s architecture.
Tracked data includes:
SPL token creation
Contract renounce or burn
Wallet funding and transaction flows
LP creation, burn, and unlock
Deployer reputation
Telegram-linked behavior
Sniper wallet activity
It does not currently track:
NFTs
Serum or CEX-based activity
On-chain governance
Slow long-tail DeFi projects
The focus is on high-velocity memecoin markets, not complex protocols.
Live Data Boundaries
Forge relies on its own indexer, so it’s extremely fast — but not instant to the block.
Typical delay: 0.5 to 2 seconds If you ask a question right as an event happens, you may need to wait a moment for the indexer to sync.
In rare cases, Forge may say “no data yet” if something literally just occurred.
Language Model Constraints
The quality of responses depends on the language model used. On hosted Forge, it defaults to GPT-4. In self-hosted versions, you can switch to any model you prefer, but cheaper or smaller models may give:
Shorter answers
Weaker reasoning
Less consistent formatting
Forge gives you control — but performance varies with your setup.
Agent Limits
Some agents are still experimental or limited in what they can see. For example:
TelegramAgent only detects groups Forge already indexes
SniperAgent can miss stealth buys if wallets mask timing
LPAgent may not detect nonstandard routers
These edge cases are constantly being improved, and users can suggest better heuristics or create their own agents to fill gaps.
Privacy and Ethics
Forge does not store private wallet data, front-run trades, or automate transactions.
All analysis is:
Based on public blockchain activity
Generated in response to user queries
Non-invasive and transparent
If you’re running a private Forge instance, the same rules apply — it’s a tool for understanding, not exploiting.
