Fordefi

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 APIs 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 Wallet.

The Fordefi catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Fordefi’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, signup flow, changelog, authentication, and 24 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.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/fordefi: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
