Risk API

The Risk category of the Range API provides tools for assessing the risk levels associated with blockchain addresses, transactions, tokens, and payments. These endpoints allow users to retrieve risk scores and risk-related metadata, helping to identify malicious actors or addresses that may be involved in fraudulent activities. By analyzing addresses, transaction patterns, and payment flows, the Risk API helps organizations improve compliance, security, and fraud detection.

Key Features

Address Risk Scoring: Retrieve a risk score for a blockchain address based on historical data, transaction patterns, ML-powered malicious connection detection, and network proximity analysis.
Transaction Risk Assessment: Analyze individual transactions to determine their associated risk score, helping to flag potentially dangerous or suspicious transactions.
Payment Risk Assessment: Comprehensive real-time risk analysis for cross-chain payments using heuristic rules, interaction history, address poisoning detection, and behavioral pattern recognition.
Token Risk Assessment: Evaluate Solana tokens using ML analysis of token characteristics, mint authority, freeze authority, and other risk factors.
Malicious Metadata: Identify metadata related to malicious activities for addresses, transactions, and payments, providing deeper insights into the nature of the risk.

Use Cases

Compliance: Assess the risk levels of blockchain addresses and payments to ensure compliance with regulations and to avoid engaging with malicious entities.
Fraud Prevention: Identify and mitigate potential fraud risks by analyzing risk scores, detecting address poisoning attacks, and identifying connections to malicious addresses.
Payment Screening: Real-time risk evaluation for payment flows before execution, helping wallets and exchanges prevent fraudulent transactions.
Due Diligence: Use risk scores to vet addresses, transactions, and payment counterparties before initiating business or financial operations on the blockchain.
Cross-Chain Security: Evaluate risk for cross-chain payments and bridging operations across multiple blockchain networks.

Security

All API endpoints in the Risk category require an API key for authentication, passed in the X-API-KEY header.

Usage

The Risk API provides a seamless way to assess the risk of blockchain interactions, whether on the level of individual addresses, transactions, tokens, or complete payment flows. The risk scores and assessments help you decide if an address, transaction, or payment should be flagged for further review.

Endpoints Overview

The Risk API includes the following endpoints:

/v1/risk/address - Get risk score for a specific blockchain address
/v1/risk/transaction - Get risk score for a specific transaction
/v1/risk/token - Get comprehensive risk assessment for Solana tokens
/v1/risk/payment - Get comprehensive risk assessment for cross-chain payments
