Industries: DeFi Protocols

Keep illicit wallets out of your protocol

Screen every wallet that connects to your front end with the Nominis quick API, and block addresses tied to sanctions, hacks and illicit activity before they interact with your protocol.

Nominis API wallet connect check on a DeFi front end, blocking a wallet linked to hack and exploit proceeds

Permissionless shouldn't mean unprotected

Anyone can connect a wallet to a DeFi front end, including sanctioned entities, hackers moving stolen funds and scam operators. Regulators, partners and users increasingly expect protocols to block known bad actors at the interface. Most screening relies on public labels alone, so newly active illicit wallets often pass as clean.

Frequently asked questions

Why should a DeFi protocol screen wallets?

Screening at the front end lets a protocol stop sanctioned and illicit wallets from interacting through its interface. That reduces legal and reputational risk and protects users and liquidity providers.

Will screening slow down my app?

No. The Nominis quick API is built for real-time checks at the moment a wallet connects, so legitimate users continue without extra steps.

How does Nominis wallet screening work?

You submit a wallet address through the Nominis platform or API and receive a risk score with a breakdown of its exposure, based on on-chain, off-chain and behavioral intelligence.

Can I try Nominis before committing?

Yes. Request a trial and our team will contact you to set it up, or start on a monthly plan from our pricing page.
