/v3/security/address/{address}

1 credit per API call.

Check, if the blockchain address is malicous. Malicous address can contain assets from the DarkWeb, is connected to the scam projects or contains stolen funds.

We use malicious address data from standard on-chain analytics providers for this endpoint, together with the digital currency addresses published on the OFAC SDN list (US Treasury sanctions). The API response includes the source used.

The check is done by address, not by chain. The address is matched against all our sources, whichever chain it belongs to, and is reported as invalid when it appears in any of them. BTC and LTC addresses are additionally scored by a live risk provider; when that provider cannot be reached the address is reported as invalid rather than cleared.

valid means the address was not found in our sources, not that it has been cleared by every provider. An address that is neither listed nor in a recognised address format is rejected with 400 security.unknown.address.
