Threat Intelligence Feed

Your real-time feed of verified blockchain threat data.

Chainara continuously identifies malicious domains, fraudulent wallet addresses, and the connections between them. This feed delivers that intelligence directly to your systems as a bulk export or real-time stream.


Data Overview

Data TypeWhat It IsVolume
Malicious DomainsPhishing sites, scam pages, and fraud infrastructure~1,900
Blacklisted WalletsConfirmed bad addresses~3,150
Suspicious WalletsFlagged addresses for risk scoring and monitoring~7,500
Domain + Wallet LinksVerified connections between scam sites and drain wallets~120
Investigation ReportsFull threat reports with analysis and IOCs~165
Community ReportsVictim-submitted scam reports with narrative context~15

Data grows daily as new threats are identified.


How It Works

Two ways to receive data:

1. Snapshot: Pull a full or filtered export anytime via API. Use this for initial setup or periodic sync.

2. Webhook: We push new indicators to your endpoint in real time as they're verified. You receive them within seconds of detection.

Both use the same JSON format, so you only need to build one parser.


Data Format

Every response is wrapped in a simple envelope:

{
"schema_version": "1.0",
"type": "snapshot",
"generated_at": "2026-03-02T14:30:00.000Z",
"source": "chainara",
"total_count": 1000,
"indicators": [ ... ]
}

Inside indicators, each item has a type field that tells you what it is. There are five types:


Malicious Domain

A domain involved in phishing, scams, or fraud.

{
"id": "domain-1042",
"type": "domain",
"value": "xrp-giveaway-bonus.com",
"blockchain": "xrpl",
"confidence": 100,
"risk_score": 100,
"risk_level": "critical",
"threat_types": ["xrp_scam", "giveaway_scam"],
"tags": ["fraud_verified"],
"sources": ["fraud_report"],
"is_active": true,

"last_checked": "2026-03-01T12:00:00.000Z",
"related_report_count": 3,

}

Key fields:

risk_levellow, medium, high, or critical

sourcesWhere the evidence came from

Wallet

A blockchain address linked to fraud. Each wallet has a severity_tier that tells you how to act on it:

TierMeaningRecommended Action
blacklistedConfirmed malicious. Corroborated by Ripple, Xaman, fraud investigations, or manual review.Block transactions. Reject deposits. Flag accounts.
suspiciousUseful intelligence. Flagged by external threat feeds, community reports, or on-chain pattern analysis.Monitor. Flag for review. Use in risk scoring.

Blacklisted wallet (confirmed: block this):

"description": "Scam domain drains victim XRP to this wallet."
}

Investigation Report

A full threat investigation with detailed analysis. These are the richest intelligence items: they describe how the scam works, who it targets, and what indicators to look for.

{
"id": "fr-dd161e5b-e46d-4178-8cf3-9094c22a65f2",

"detected_at": "2026-03-01T02:17:54.000Z",
"sources": ["fraud_report"]
}

report_type values: scam_website, fake_giveaway, fraudulent_wallet, suspicious_domain, social_media_scam

Example Requests

# Full snapshot
curl "https://{tenant}-platform.chainara.io/api/v2/feed/snapshot" \
-H "X-API-Key: ek_YOUR_API_KEY"

# Blacklisted wallets and malicious domains on XRPL only
curl "https://{tenant}-platform.chainara.io/api/v2/feed/snapshot?types=wallet,domain&severity_tier=blacklisted&blockchain=xrpl" \
-H "X-API-Key: ek_YOUR_API_KEY"

# Incremental sync: only changes since last fetch
curl "https://{tenant}-platform.chainara.io/api/v2/feed/snapshot?since=2026-03-01T00:00:00Z" \
-H "X-API-Key: ek_YOUR_API_KEY"

Incremental Sync Pattern

Store the generated_at timestamp from each successful response. Pass it as since on your next call to receive only new or updated indicators:

import requests

BASE_URL = "https://{tenant}-platform.chainara.io/api/v2"
headers = {"X-API-Key": "ek_YOUR_API_KEY"}

last_sync = load_last_sync_timestamp() # e.g. "2026-03-01T00:00:00Z"

params = {"since": last_sync} if last_sync else {}
r = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/feed/snapshot", headers=headers, params=params)
data = r.json()

for indicator in data["indicators"]:
ingest_into_siem(indicator)

save_last_sync_timestamp(data["generated_at"])

Webhook (Real-Time Push)

Register an endpoint and we push new indicators to you as they are verified: no polling required.

Register

curl -X POST "https://{tenant}-platform.chainara.io/api/v2/webhooks" \
-H "X-API-Key: ek_YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"url": "https://your-siem.example.com/chainara-feed",
"event_types": ["indicator_added", "indicator_updated", "indicator_removed"],
"indicator_types": ["wallet", "domain", "domain_wallet_pair"],
"description": "SIEM threat feed"
}'

Store the secret from the response: you'll use it to verify signatures.

Payload Format

{
"schema_version": "1.0",
"type": "feed_update",
"generated_at": "2026-03-02T14:35:12.000Z",
"source": "chainara",
"event": "indicator_added",
"total_count": 1,
"indicators": [ ... ]
}

Events

EventMeaning
indicator_addedNew threat verified
indicator_updatedExisting indicator updated with new evidence
indicator_removedFalse positive or domain taken down

Signature Verification

Every delivery includes an X-Chainara-Signature header. Verify it before processing:

import hmac, hashlib

def verify_signature(payload_bytes: bytes, signature: str, secret: str) -> bool:
expected = hmac.new(
secret.encode(),
payload_bytes,
hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()
return hmac.compare_digest(f"sha256={expected}", signature)

Retry Policy

If your endpoint doesn't return 2xx within 10 seconds, we retry up to 5 times:

AttemptDelay
130 seconds
22 minutes
310 minutes
41 hour
5Final attempt

Delivery history is visible in the Platform at Admin → Webhooks → Delivery Log. If your endpoint is offline for an extended period, use GET /feed/snapshot?since=... to catch up on missed events once it's back.


SIEM Integration Pattern

For exchange wallet screening at transaction time, query the wallet endpoint directly rather than the feed: it's faster and returns the full risk profile for a single address:

curl "https://{tenant}-platform.chainara.io/api/v2/wallets/1/{address}/risk-score" \
-H "X-API-Key: ek_YOUR_API_KEY"

# Block if risk_score >= 75 or is_blacklisted == true

Reference

Risk Levels

LevelMeaning
criticalImmediate threat. Active scam with confirmed victims.
highStrong evidence of malicious activity.
mediumSuspicious indicators. Warrants monitoring.
lowMinor signals. Low priority.
