Introducing the New Token Screening Feature
At LI.FI, we’re proud to power more than 1,000 enterprise integrations across the digital asset ecosystem.
Our partners range from global wallets and exchanges to DeFi protocols, trading applications, neobanks, AI agents, and financial institutions building the next generation of digital asset products.
These products give users access to an increasingly open and permissionless digital asset market. New tokens can be created and traded within minutes, giving users more choice than any traditional financial system has ever offered.
But that permissionless also creates risk.
Malicious tokens, impersonation assets, abandoned projects, and tokens with unsafe market conditions can appear inside wallets and applications alongside legitimate digital assets. This leaves every product team with the same difficult task of determining which tokens should be displayed, which should carry a warning, and which should be hidden from users by default.
Historically, many teams have managed this themselves through internal allowlists, denylists, manual reviews, and custom token-screening systems. These processes are expensive to maintain, difficult to scale, and often leave teams working with incomplete information.
Today, we’re introducing Token Screening powered by Hypernative.
The new feature brings token reputation data directly into the LI.FI API, giving every integration a standardized security signal for the assets available through LI.FI.
Partners can use this information to warn users about potentially malicious assets, filter unsafe tokens from discovery experiences, and prevent flagged assets from appearing in wallet balances by default.
Safer token discovery across blockchains
LI.FI has integrated Hypernative’s Token Screening into the LI.FI Token Service.
When a token is discovered by LI.FI, its blockchain and contract address can be screened by Hypernative. The resulting recommendation is stored in LI.FI’s token database and exposed through the API alongside the token’s existing metadata.
Tokens can carry one of three statuses:
Approved – Hypernative has screened the token and returned an approval recommendation.
Denied – Hypernative has identified security or market-risk signals and returned a denial recommendation.
Unverified – The token has not yet been screened by Hypernative.
The API also identifies the provider responsible for the assessment, giving partners visibility into where the recommendation came from.
This allows product teams to incorporate token reputation directly into their applications without building and maintaining a separate token screening pipeline.
Built into the LI.FI API
Token-screening information is available through LI.FI’s token endpoints, allowing partners to access the security status of an asset alongside the information they already receive from LI.FI.
Partners can use this information to:
Display token reputation indicators or warnings inside their interface.
Distinguish screened assets from tokens that have not yet been verified.
Filter tokens with a denied recommendation from token discovery results.
Prevent flagged assets from appearing in user balances by default.
Build additional token policies based on their own product, jurisdiction, or risk requirements.
Because the security signal is part of the LI.FI API response, teams get the new token screening feature out of the box, in the existing integration.
What this means for enterprise teams
Token Screening gives enterprise teams a common security layer across every product they build with LI.FI.
Instead of maintaining separate token lists and screening systems, teams can consume structured reputation information through the same integration they already use for token discovery, balances, swaps, and cross-chain execution.
This enables teams to:
Reduce the operational burden of maintaining internal token allowlists and denylists.
Protect users from malicious or misleading assets appearing in their balances.
Introduce clearer warnings and security indicators throughout their interface.
Apply consistent token policies across blockchains.
Retain complete control over which assets their users can discover and access.
Respond more quickly when a token’s security profile changes.
For users, this means fewer scam tokens appearing alongside legitimate assets, clearer information when interacting with unfamiliar tokens, and safer defaults across wallets and applications.
For product teams, it means token security can become part of the infrastructure rather than another system they have to build themselves.
