Enhance your wallet security with Blockaid

Portal’s Web SDK integrates with Blockaid to provide real-time security scanning for transactions, addresses, tokens, and URLs. This integration helps detect malicious activity, phishing attempts, scam tokens, and suspicious interactions before users sign or submit transactions.

Overview

The Blockaid integration enables you to:

Scan transactions before signing or submission (EVM, Solana, Tron)
Scan addresses for known malicious actors or compromised contracts
Validate tokens to detect scams or security risks
Verify URLs to prevent phishing attacks

Prerequisites

Before using Blockaid security scanning, ensure you have:

A properly initialized Portal client
Blockaid integration enabled in your Portal Dashboard (see Blockaid Integration)

Scanning EVM Transactions

Use scanEVMTx to analyze Ethereum transactions before signing or broadcasting them. This method scans EVM transactions for malicious contract interactions, risky approvals, phishing attempts, and other on-chain security threats.

async function scanEvmTransaction(portal: Portal) {
  const response = await portal.security.blockaid.scanEVMTx({
    chain: 'eip155:11155111',
    data: {
      from: '0x5e1a0d484c5f0de722e82f9dca3a9d5a421d47cb',
      to: '0x0d524a5b52737c0a02880d5e84f7d20b8d66bfba',
      data: '0x',
      value: '0x1000000000000000',
    },
    account_address: '0x5e1a0d484c5f0de722e82f9dca3a9d5a421d47cb',
  })

  console.log('Blockaid EVM scan response:', response)
}

Scanning Solana Transactions

Use scanSolanaTx to analyze Solana transactions before signing. This method detects malicious program invocations, suspicious token movements, and other Solana-specific risks.

async function scanSolanaTransaction(portal: Portal) {
  const response = await portal.security.blockaid.scanSolanaTx({
    encoding: 'base58',
    chain: 'solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp',
    method: 'signAndSendTransaction',
    options: ['simulation', 'validation'],
    account_address: '86xCnPeV69n6t3DnyGvkKobf9FdN2H9oiVDdaMpo2MMY',
    transactions: [
      'vxBNpvao9QJmLKXUThbbjRnxm3ufu4Wku97kHd5a67FDjSqeHwcPrBKTjAHp4ECr61eWwoxvUEVTuuWX65P9bCNDJrTJpX64vjdtpHA8cogA4C92Ubj813wUUA8Ey4Bvcrdj5c1bSTCnwoE8HeFYiyioRLNZTpShx8zkyzXaxkpUvPVRN26363bGvJDNSJt8bihmwAPxfrH7kSV9BvAuhRWsiuUAN4GZzyAiptknHZ1xjzrKAHz68UNJpWnYkaUThye6r3iULZUcp7baBaGAtnUmAdDMGG1UpBusWLF',
    ],
  })

  console.log('Blockaid Solana scan response:', response)
}

Scanning Tron Transactions

Use scanTronTx to analyze Tron transactions before signing. This method detects malicious smart contract interactions, suspicious token movements, and other Tron-specific security risks.

scanTronTx only supports tron:mainnet. Passing any other chain identifier, such as tron:shasta or tron:nile, throws an error before any request is sent to Blockaid.

async function scanTronTransaction(portal: Portal) {
  const response = await portal.security.blockaid.scanTronTx({
    chain: 'tron:mainnet',
    account_address: 'TKhJBwsH7hvegxrUHW4oHT5t1BUDds2UG4',
    data: {
      from: 'TKhJBwsH7hvegxrUHW4oHT5t1BUDds2UG4',
      to: 'TMacq4TDUw5q8NFBwmbY4RLXvzvG5JTkvi',
      data: '0xa9059cbb00000000000000000000004102d8b1afe419aaee6ea2a421913b93bc1d5579',
      value: '0x0',
    },
    options: ['simulation', 'validation'],
  })

  console.log('Blockaid Tron scan response:', response)
}

The request object accepts the following fields:

Field	Type	Required	Description
`chain`	`string`	Yes	Must be `tron:mainnet`. Any other value throws an error.
`account_address`	`string`	No	Address initiating the transaction (Base58 format, starts with `T`). Defaults to your Portal client’s TRON address when omitted; the request fails if neither is available.
`data.from`	`string`	No	Sender address (Base58 format). Defaults to the resolved `account_address` when omitted.
`data.to`	`string`	No	Recipient address (Base58 format)
`data.data`	`string`	No	Encoded contract call data (hex)
`data.value`	`string`	No	Amount to transfer, in sun (hex). 1 TRX = 1,000,000 sun.
`metadata`	`object`	No	Dapp (`{ domain }`) or non-dapp (`{ non_dapp }`) context for the transaction. Only applied as-is when provided — if you’re scanning on behalf of a dApp, set `domain` explicitly, since a default domain is used only when `metadata` is omitted entirely.
`options`	`string[]`	No	Analysis types to run: `'simulation'`, `'validation'`, or both

Reading the response

Like scanEVMTx, the scanTronTx result is nested under data.rawResponse:

const rawResponse = response.data?.rawResponse

if (rawResponse?.validation?.result_type === 'Malicious') {
  console.error('Transaction flagged as malicious:', rawResponse.validation)
  return
}

if (rawResponse?.validation?.result_type === 'Warning') {
  // Optionally prompt the user to confirm before proceeding
}

// Safe to proceed with signing

data.rawResponse can include:

Field	Description
`validation`	`result_type` (`Benign`, `Warning`, or `Malicious`), plus `classification`, `description`, `reason`, `status`, and a list of `features`
`simulation`	Simulated effects of the transaction, returned when `'simulation'` is included in `options`
`events`	Contract events emitted during simulation, when available
`gas_estimation`	Estimated gas usage for the transaction, when available
`features`	Additional Blockaid-detected features for the transaction, when available
`block`	Block associated with the scan
`chain`	Echoes back the requested chain (`tron:mainnet`)
`account_address`	Echoes back the requested `account_address`, when provided

Error handling

Passing a chain other than tron:mainnet rejects immediately with an error and does not send a request to Blockaid.
Requests with an invalid or incomplete payload, or failures from the Blockaid API itself, reject with the error returned by Blockaid.

Scanning Addresses

Use scanAddress to analyze a single address for known security risks. This method can be used for both EVM and Solana addresses and detects malicious contracts, compromised wallets, sanctioned addresses, and other flagged entities.

EVM Address Scan

async function scanEvmAddress(portal: Portal) {
  const response = await portal.security.blockaid.scanAddress({
    chain: 'eip155:1',
    address: '0x31c05d73f2333b5a176cfdbb7c5ef96ec7bb04ac',
  })

  console.log('Blockaid EVM address scan response:', response)
}

Solana Address Scan

async function scanSolanaAddress(portal: Portal) {
  const response = await portal.security.blockaid.scanAddress({
    chain: 'solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp',
    address: 'BBQUMqaFELxTFh8r1xSttYMHX6ZKzLWhsmGod2vuxgEc',
  })

  console.log('Blockaid Solana address scan response:', response)
}

Scanning Tokens

Use scanTokens to analyze multiple tokens in a single request for known security risks. This method detects scam tokens, honeypots, compromised contracts, and other malicious token behavior.

async function scanTokens(portal: Portal) {
  const response = await portal.security.blockaid.scanTokens({
    chain: 'eip155:1',
    tokens: [
      '0x66587563e933bbf3974b89156b47bb82b921eb35',
      '0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d',
    ],
  })

  console.log('Blockaid token scan response:', response)
}

Scanning URLs

Use scanURL to detect phishing sites and malicious domains before users navigate to them. This method helps protect users from social engineering attacks and malicious off-chain activity.

async function scanURL(portal: Portal) {
  const response = await portal.security.blockaid.scanURL({
    url: 'https://www.google.com',
  })

  console.log('Blockaid URL scan response:', response)
}
