Behavior-based onchain risk intelligence for stablecoin and DeFi infrastructure.

frwd labs analyzes real-time transaction flows on Ethereum to identify high-risk behavioral patterns such as Sybil activity, money laundering, market manipulation, and coordinated abuse without relying on user identity or off-chain KYC data.

Our infrastructure produces verifiable, composable risk signals that can be consumed by compliance engines, APIs, dashboards, or enforced directly onchain via smart contracts and protocol hooks. This enables partners to move from reactive monitoring to ex-ante risk controls, including transaction screening, market integrity protections, and policy-aware routing for stablecoin usage.

frwd labs is designed to complement existing compliance programs by extending visibility into how assets are used - not just who is using them - making behavioral risk a key primitive in modern onchain finance.

Use Cases

Risk Management

frwd labs enables proactive onchain risk management by identifying and classifying high-risk transaction behavior in real-time. Our system analyzes transaction flows to detect patterns associated with money laundering, Sybil activity, coordinated abuse, and market manipulation, including wash trading and self-dealing behaviors that may not be visible through identity-based screening alone. These behavior-based risk signals can be integrated into compliance engines, internal risk systems, or enforced directly via smart contracts and protocol hooks. This allows partners to manage exposure, protect market integrity, and apply policy controls before risk escalates. frwd labs complements existing compliance and monitoring programs by extending risk management from static identity checks to dynamic, behavior-driven controls across stablecoin and DeFi ecosystems.
