Forte is the Flow network upgrade that brings composability and automation natively to Flow. Two new primitives, Actions and Workflows, let developers compose reusable, protocol-agnostic workflows with onchain time-based triggers. Forte lets builders get an edge with new features, like standardized DeFi actions, scheduled transactions, and onchain workflows.

Flow is the number 1 choice for builders at hackathons all over the world. Forte Hacks provides an opportunity for those developers and builders to experiment with the latest upgrade to the network and build the next killer app.

Flow’s upcoming network upgrade, Forte, brings composability and automation natively onchain through two powerful new primitives: Actions and Agents.

Actions are protocol-native operations (like swap, source, sink, flasher, and oracle) that can be composed together to build workflows across protocols. No glue code, no rewrites—just composable logic in a single atomic transaction.
Agents are onchain resources that live inside a Flow account. They execute scheduled transactions or respond to triggers, enabling fully automated, self-owned behavior with no backend or relayers.

Forte is coming to Flow:
Testnet goes live on September 17.
Mainnet launches on October 22.

Launching alongside Forte are a series of apps and upgrades by current and new builders on Flow designed to take advantage of the latest functionality – and bring a new generation of apps, games, and the digital assets that power them to Flow.

Dieter announced Forte at Pragma, New York, where he walks through Actions & Agents, showcasing what building on Flow with AI will look like:
