API Reference

Introduction

W3A API lets you embed real-time Web3 security, risk screening and compliance into your product - whether you’re building a wallet, exchange, DeFi protocol or fintech platform. Use it to simulate transactions before signature, detect threats as blocks finalize, screen entities for sanctions/KYT and automate protective actions.

By powering security inside 1inch, used by ~1M active wallets every month and over 24M cumulatively, W3A has become one of the most widely deployed real-time defense layers in Web3. With 65M+ API calls processed and 2M+ tokens analyzed, we continuously block hidden exploits, scams, and malicious contracts at scale.

How W3A works for you:

  • Detect & block on-chain threats in real time across contracts, tokens, wallets, and transactions.
  • Simulate transactions before signature to prevent blind signing, malicious approvals, and phishing-induced drains.
  • Screen counterparties and flows with KYT/AML & sanctions checks and entity risk scores.
  • Monitor protocol health & liquidity to flag anomalies, manipulations, and wash-traded assets.
  • Automate responses via rules to block, alert, and orchestrate on-chain safeguards.
