TRM Labs and Hypernative Partner to Deliver Pre-transaction Enforcement and On-chain Security for Web3

By combining Hypernative's real-time threat detection with TRM's blockchain intelligence, institutions can automatically screen, enforce, and block malicious transactions before they execute

San Francisco, CA — April 1, 2026 — TRM Labs, the leading blockchain intelligence platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Hypernative, the leading real-time security platform for Web3. Together, the two companies give institutions a complete solution for detecting and stopping on-chain threats — with transparent and high-confidence risk signals to act before any damage is done.

The gap between detection and enforcement

For institutions operating in the digital asset ecosystem, the security challenge has changed. DeFi protocols, exchanges, wallets, and institutional treasuries now manage on-chain assets across dozens of blockchains simultaneously — while threat actors continue to evolve their techniques. Smart contract exploits, private key theft, governance attacks, phishing campaigns, and market manipulation are persistent risks that can drain funds in minutes.

Most security tools address detection. They monitor on-chain activity, generate alerts, and flag suspicious behavior after the fact. But the gap between receiving a risk alert and actually stopping a transaction remains wide enough for significant damage to occur. By the time an analyst reviews an alert and takes action, a transaction may have already settled and funds may have moved across chains.

The question facing Web3 institutions isn’t just about detection, it’s about taking fast action to stop threats before they execute.

Turning risk intelligence into real-time enforcement

Hypernative monitors more than 75 blockchains in real time, analyzing transaction flows, smart contract behavior, governance actions, price movements, and external threat intelligence. Using machine learning, graph analysis, heuristics, simulations, and mempool monitoring, its platform detects over 300 threat types — often before a transaction is finalized.

At the center of Hypernative’s enforcement capability is Transaction Guard: a pre-transaction security layer that simulates and evaluates each transaction before it reaches execution. When a transaction is initiated, Hypernative first unpacks what the transaction actually does — identifying every destination address that receives funds, every third-party approval that gets opened for future withdrawals, and every intermediary the transaction touches. It then applies TRM's blockchain intelligence to score each actor involved, evaluating wallet risk, counterparty exposure, address history, and entity relationships across the full transaction graph - not just the top-level recipient.

The result is a purpose-built two-layer system: Hypernative's threat detection and enforcement engine as the control plane, with TRM's risk intelligence embedded as a high-confidence compliance data source. Together, they give institutions the ability to operationalize risk data in real time — embedded directly in the transaction flow, not in a downstream review queue.

The integration enables:

• Pre-transaction screening. Every transaction is evaluated against TRM’s risk intelligence before it executes — not after it settles.
• Automated enforcement. Transaction Guard applies configurable policy thresholds based on TRM’s risk scores, automatically approving, flagging, or blocking activity without manual intervention.
• Broad chain coverage. Risk intelligence and enforcement across 75+ blockchains in a single integration, with no gaps between chains.
• Reduced false positives. TRM’s high-confidence risk signals reduce noise, so automated decisions are accurate and defensible.
• Transparent, actionable intelligence. Compliance and security teams receive clear, explainable risk signals — not just alerts — enabling faster, more confident decision-making.

“Digital asset threats move faster than any team can manually review,” said Morley Gordon, Head of Partnerships at TRM Labs. “Hypernative has built the most sophisticated pre-transaction enforcement layer in Web3. By embedding TRM’s risk intelligence directly into Guardian, institutions can act on risk signals the moment they surface — not after the damage is done. Together, we’re giving institutions a way to operate at the speed of the ecosystem without sacrificing the security controls they need.”

“Security and compliance in digital assets have always been separate disciplines with separate vendors. That doesn't work anymore, said Marshall Lipman, VP of Strategy at Hypernative. “This partnership closes the gap. By combining TRM's risk data with Hypernative's real-time transaction controls, institutions finally have both compliance and enforcement working together, before a single transaction executes.”

The integration is generally available to TRM and Hypernative customers. Existing TRM customers can activate the integration by connecting their TRM API key within the Hypernative Guardian dashboard. Hypernative can also provide TRM API bundles for new customers looking to get started with both platforms.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1. What does the TRM Labs and Hypernative integration enable?

The integration enables institutions to embed TRM’s risk intelligence directly into Hypernative’s Guardian — a pre-transaction enforcement layer. Before a transaction executes, Hypernative calls the TRM API to evaluate wallet and counterparty risk, then automatically approves, flags, or blocks the transaction based on configurable policy thresholds.

2. How does Guardian work with TRM’s risk data?

When a transaction is initiated, Hypernative’s Transaction Guard calls the TRM API using the customer’s TRM API key. TRM returns a risk assessment covering the wallet, counterparty, address history, and entity relationships. Guardian then applies the institution’s defined risk thresholds to take immediate action — approve, flag for human review, or block.

3. Who benefits from this integration?

Exchanges, wallets, DeFi protocols, and institutional treasuries operating in the digital asset ecosystem benefit most — particularly those looking to move beyond reactive, post-transaction monitoring to proactive, automated pre-transaction security controls.

4. How do existing TRM and Hypernative customers activate the integration?

Existing TRM customers can activate the integration by connecting their TRM API key (bring your own key) within their Hypernative dashboard. No additional onboarding is required. New customers can access TRM API bundles directly through Hypernative.
