Policies

Define how/when transactions should go with checks and rules.

Webhooks

Trigger actions based on external data, track each step in real-time.

Retries

Re-run unconfirmed transactions with queuing, retries and fallback.

Redundancy

Active-active blockchain node architecture with failover support.

Signatures

Generate signatures to build your own onchain transactions.

Orchestration

Trade via exchanges, payment services, OTC and other liquidity venues from a single platform.

Fee sponsors

Pay onchain fees automatically so transfers always go through.

UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO THE ECOSYSTEM

INTEGRATE DFNS WALLETS IN LESS THAN A DAY

Engineered with care
for developer experience

The externalId represents the user and its associated assets and activities.

await dfns.auth.createUser({ body: { email: body.email, kind: UserAuthKind.EndUser } })

Create new wallets for the specified blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon), returning a wallet ID.

const wallet = await dfnsApi.wallets.createWallet( body.email, kind: UserAuthKind.EndUser } })

Broadcast transaction allows smart contract interactions mirroring native transaction protocols.

NO MISSES. NOTHING RANDOM

The Future of Pre-Chain Security

Dfns prevents silent failures, bad calls, and governance gaps by analyzing every transaction before it’s broadcast. Every layer is programmable, observable, and secure by default.

Transaction Simulation

All transactions can be simulated to detect errors, invalid calls, or high-risk outcomes before they reach the chain.

Plaintext Signing

Transactions are parsed and made human-readable before signing thanks to decoded smart contracts. Don’t trust, verify what you sign.

API Idempotency

Prevent double spending with API idempotency. Query, cancel, or override pending transactions before they get finalized onchain.

Bring your own KMS (BYOK)

Use Dfns’ state-of-the-art MPC KMS or connect your Hardware Security Module to hold the keys and sign transactions under your control, on your own terms.

Don’t trust.
Verify.
