Fordefi is an institutional MPC (multi-party computation) wallet and digital-asset security platform for DeFi, trading, and on-chain payments. Its developer API lets teams programmatically create vaults across 10+ blockchain families (EVM, Bitcoin, Solana, Cosmos and more), manage addresses and assets, and build, approve, sign, and broadcast transactions under a policy engine with built-in AML screening and audit logging. Authentication combines a Bearer JWT access token with ECDSA (NIST P-256) request signing by a registered API Signer; state-changing calls support idempotency and a signed webhook event surface for real-time monitoring. Fordefi is SOC 2 Type II certified. This profile was enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline from Fordefi's public OpenAPI and developer documentation.
Fordefi publishes 17 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Address Book API, Assets API, Audit Log API, and 14 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cryptocurrency, Digital Assets, and Wallets.
The Fordefi catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Fordefi’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, changelog, authentication, and 28 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Payments regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
