Cyvers is a blockchain security and compliance platform that detects illicit activity, fraud, and active threats across multiple blockchains in real time using AI-based analytics. It helps crypto businesses, financial institutions, and other digital-asset platforms screen wallet addresses to prevent exposure to money laundering, sanctions, scams, hacks, and other malicious activity.

Its key capabilities include:

• AI-powered threat detection — detects suspicious wallet behavior and active threats in real time, including scam, hack, and exploit patterns identified by Cyvers' models before they appear on public watchlists.
• Combined compliance and fraud coverage — addresses both AML/sanctions exposure and active fraud in one provider, via two complementary APIs.
• Multi-chain coverage — wallet screening across the major EVM and non-EVM networks Cyvers supports.

How Cyvers integration works

Sumsub integrates Cyvers into the Transaction Monitoring solution to provide blockchain intelligence without requiring separate API credentials or complex setup procedures. Sumsub manages the entire integration, so no API keys are required on your side.

Unlike most other Crypto Monitoring providers, Cyvers performs wallet screening only — it does not screen a specific on-chain transfer by transaction hash. Wallets are screened through two complementary APIs, which can be used together:

• Compliance API — screens a wallet address against AML and sanctions risk: exposure to money laundering, sanctioned entities, darknet, and other illicit activity, based on historical blockchain data and watchlists.
• Fraud API — screens a wallet address for active fraud and threat patterns: addresses linked to scams, hacks, exploits, and other ongoing malicious activity detected by Cyvers' AI in real time.

When a crypto wallet check is initiated, Sumsub does the following:

1. Extracts the wallet address from the transaction or applicant data.
2. Screens the wallet via Cyvers' Compliance API, Fraud API, or both, depending on the rules you install.
3. Returns the risk signals into Transaction Monitoring rules and the transaction report.

Cyvers' analytics let you act on suspicious behavior with confidence, including:

• Block transfers to wallets exposed to sanctions, darknet, or money laundering.
• Detect and prevent payments to addresses linked to known scams, hacks, and exploits.
• Evaluate both hosted and unhosted wallets before approving transactions.
• Strengthen Travel Rule compliance and counterparty due diligence.

⚠️

Important

Install pre-scoring rule bundles first, as they are required for many monitoring rules to function correctly.

Step 3: Create custom rules

Optionally, you can create custom rules tailored to your specific business needs and risk policies. Custom rules allow you to set up risk thresholds and use the specific signals provided by Cyvers' Compliance API and Fraud API.
