Elliptic

Elliptic provides blockchain analytics and transaction monitoring for AML compliance. DFNS integrates Elliptic as a KYT (Know Your Transaction) provider alongside Chainalysis.

Setup

Open the Elliptic integration

In the DFNS Dashboard, navigate to Integrations, find the Elliptic card, and click Configure.

Activate and enter your credentials

Toggle Activate Elliptic Integration, then enter your Elliptic API key and Elliptic API secret.

Save

Click Save. Your credentials are validated on activation. The integration is now active, and the Elliptic rule becomes available in the policy builder.

Once activated, DFNS screens transfers with Elliptic in both directions on every network covered by Elliptic holistic screening — no policy required. Elliptic results are recorded untranslated: the native 0–10 risk score, and one alert per fired risk rule.

Outbound transfer prescreening

Outbound transfers can be screened by Elliptic before they are broadcast on-chain. Upon a transfer attempt, DFNS runs a synchronous Elliptic wallet analysis of the destination address and checks the returned risk score against your configured threshold, plus any configured risk rules or categories.

From the dashboard

Create a policy

Go to Policies, click Create Policy, give it a name, and select the Wallet usage (transfer, transaction, signature) activity.

Select the Elliptic rule

On the Rule step, choose Transaction attempt prescreening (Elliptic). Set the risk score threshold (0–10) that triggers the policy, and optionally add risk rule IDs or category names from your Elliptic risk model that trigger it regardless of the score.

Choose an action and save

Pick the action taken when the rule triggers, then review and Save. You can scope the policy to specific wallets or tags.

When the action is RequestApproval, a flagged transfer stays pending until an approver reviews it. The approval page shows the triggered policy and the reason — for example, the Elliptic risk score and the threshold it crossed.

With the API

Create a policy with:

Activity kind: Wallets:Sign
Rule kind: EllipticTransactionPrescreening
Action kind: Block, RequestApproval, or NoAction

Configuration

Property	Type	Description
riskScoreThreshold*	Number	Risk score threshold (0–10, decimals allowed). The policy triggers if the Elliptic risk score is at or above the threshold.
triggeredRules.ruleIds*	Array of UUIDs	IDs of risk rules from your Elliptic risk model. If any of these rules matched the analysis, the policy triggers regardless of the risk score. Leave empty to trigger on the risk score threshold only.
triggeredRules.categories*	Array of strings	Elliptic category names (e.g. “Dark Market”), matched case-insensitively. If a matched risk rule involves any of these categories, the policy triggers regardless of the risk score. Leave empty to trigger on the risk score threshold only.
fallbackBehaviours.skipUnscreenableTransaction*	Boolean	Skip wallet requests that cannot be screened (e.g. raw signatures).
fallbackBehaviours.skipUnsupportedNetwork*	Boolean	Skip requests on a network not yet supported in the DFNS Elliptic integration.
fallbackBehaviours.skipEllipticFailure*	Boolean	Skip any failure of the Elliptic analysis (timeout, rate limiting, any error).

When the policy triggers, the Elliptic screening results are included in the policy.triggered webhook event.
