Overview

TRONSCAN API Security Services is an on-chain risk control solution provided by TRONSCAN, the official explorer of the TRON ecosystem. By integrating with the Security Services, TronLink is able to deliver real-time fraud prevention and asset protection for users.

Core Features

 

Security Feature Detection Method Scenario
  1. Scam Account Check
 Identifies high-risk scam accounts through on-chain behavior analytics and relationship mapping. Automatically perform detection on the recipient before any transfer to prevent users from reaching blacklisted addresses.
  1. Account Authorization Check
 Reviews account authorizations to identify dangerous permissions, such as unlimited transfer caps.  Prompts revocation of unsafe approvals before attackers can exploit them to drain assets. 
  1. Multisig Permission Check
 Monitors permission changes of multisig wallets to flag suspicious signature requests. Protects multisig governance from malicious attacks, keeping contract accounts secure. 
  1. Scam Transaction Check
 Detects phishing transfers and rug-pull deposits using transaction flow analytics and pattern recognition algorithms.  Displays warning pop-ups ahead of suspicious transactions.
  1. Scam Website Check
 Screens URLs against TRONSCAN's live phishing database built from community reports and AI detection.  Automatically blocks phishing URLs during users’ access to DApps.
  1. Token Security Check
 Evaluates token contracts for vulnerabilities, liquidity risks, and issuer credibility.  Displays the security rating of each token before transactions, lowering exposure to rug pulls. 
  1. Token List Update
 Catalogs newly issued tokens on TRON and verifies contract authenticity through cross-site data validation.  Offers a comprehensive list of verified tokens, helping you steer clear of fakes. 

 

Service Configuration

TronLink’s security alert service is enabled by default. When risks are detected in any of the following scenarios, the security protection will be triggered:

✅ Transfers: Red warnings appear when users are sending TRX or other tokens to scam accounts.

✅ Authorizations: Extra confirmation required for spending cap authorizations to risky contracts or accounts.

✅ Phishing Websites: Access to phishing DApps is blocked, and risk alerts appear.

🔒 Privacy Mechanism: All threat detections use encrypted APIs that return only risk labels. Wallet addresses, IP information, and transaction details are never uploaded to TRONSCAN servers.
