PureFi
PureFi — a reference card for a crypto project: what the product does and how verifiable the project’s key claims are; also — alignment with the Decentralized AI thesis (DecAI Fit).
PureFi — a DeFi project on Ethereum, token (symbol: UFI).
Disclaimer
Important: this page is a reference overview of the project. Within DecAIHub, we separately record a verification based on open sources within the AI thesis (what is real AI/onchain/why a token, and which sources this is based on).
This is not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy/sell/hold any asset. We do not assess price, returns, or entry/exit timing.
Conclusions are based on publicly available materials found as of the verification date. The absence of confirmation does not imply the absence of the technology.
TL;DR (for readers who are not into AI)
- What it is: a set of compliance tools for DeFi (for example, wallet checks, a KYC module, risk score) that are positioned as embeddable into protocols.
- Who it’s for: DeFi projects and users who care about AML/KYC checks and risk control.
- Why onchain/token: onchain is used as the environment for integrating the modules and accounting for operations; the token is claimed as the means of paying for services/access and part of the economic mechanisms.
How it works (very briefly)
- The user does: a protocol or service connects a module (for example, wallet checking / on‑chain KYC / verifier hook).
- The system does: checks the wallet/transaction/user against the risk rules and returns the check result.
- The user gets: access/refusal/a risk assessment and the ability to apply this as a filter in the product.
- Where the blockchain is: the integrations and part of the logic are positioned as onchain modules for DeFi.
- Token role (if any): payments for the use of services and the described ecosystem mechanics.

General project overview
PureFi describes itself as a compliance toolkit for DeFi: a set of modules and checks that help projects meet AML/KYC requirements and reduce risks (for example, wallet checks, on‑chain KYC, risk scoring). In the reviewed Tier‑1 sources, no confirmation was found that the product contains a separate AI component (in the sense of machine learning as a functional part of the product).
Features/modules
- Wallet Checking / AML Risk Score (claimed): checking wallets/transactions and issuing a risk assessment.
- On‑Chain KYC (claimed): an “on‑chain” identity verification module with an emphasis on privacy.
- VerifierHook (claimed): embedding compliance checks into a DeFi protocol (as a “hook” before an interaction).
- Token Analytics (claimed): analytics of tokens/liquidity/behavior (the methodologies require separate verification).
Typical scenarios
- Scenario 1: a DeFi protocol integrates a checking module → blocks/allows interactions per the risk rules.
- Scenario 2: a user goes through the KYC procedure → receives confirmation/access to the product.
- Scenario 3: a team analyzes risk flows/triggers and adjusts the policy (if provided for by the product).
Getting started (wallet/network)
- What you need: access to the PureFi products (website/wiki) and integration into a dApp (for B2B scenarios); for operations with the token — a compatible EVM wallet.
- Network/chain: Ethereum (ERC‑20 token); per the website, support for several networks is claimed for the modules.
- Fees: fees of the respective networks on onchain interactions; details of pricing/fees require separate verification.
Architecture/tech (non‑AI)
- Components: a set of modules/SDK/integrations (per the description), the ERC‑20 token, web documentation/wiki.
- Participant roles: integrators (DeFi projects), users, service operators.
- Where logic runs: part of the logic is claimed as onchain modules; details of the modules’ contracts/addresses require separate verification.
- Dependencies: the supported blockchains and access to them; external sources of risk data/rules (not established per Tier‑1).
Token/economics (expanded, no forecasts)
- Token utility (Tier‑1, claimed): payment for the use of AML/KYC services; in the future — incentives for governance.
- Protocol necessity drivers: the services are described as paid in $UFI (including with conversion of fees into UFI in the backend).
- Who pays fees: users/integrators on onchain operations (depending on the integration and the network).
- Where fees go: network fees — to the validators of the respective networks; buyback/conversion mechanics are described on the website (verification of the implementation separately).
- Issuance/burn: the parameters and specific rules require separate verification.
- Incentive mechanisms: not confirmed by Tier‑1 as mandatory protocol mechanics; Tier‑1 has mentions of yield farming and “future governance incentives”.
- Distribution/vesting: an allocation chart is published on the website (Company Reserve 23%, Adoption Incentives 14%, Public Sale 11%, Team 11%, Marketing 10%, Farming with HAI 7%, Advisors 6%, Hacken Round 2%, Liquidity Pool 0.5%).
- Treasury: not established per Tier‑1.
Governance
- Who makes decisions: not established per Tier‑1.
- How product parameters change: depends on the modules/integrations; the specific process is not established.
- Where decisions are discussed/made: not established per Tier‑1.
- Keys/multisig: not established per Tier‑1.
Security and incidents
- Audits: a Hacken audit link is listed in links_* (Tier‑1 for this card: as an external audit page).
- Bug bounty: not found per Tier‑1.
- Incidents: no public postmortems were found per Tier‑1.
- Threat model (what to double‑check): the correctness and sources of the risk scores; the correspondence of the on‑chain KYC claims to the actual implementation; the scope of the audit (what exactly was audited).
Project status and timeline
- Current status: active (based on the presence of the website/wiki and current materials).
- Key releases/milestones: not established per Tier‑1.
- Roadmap: published as an article/post (see links_*).
Ecosystem/integrations
- Integrations: B2B/B2C products for DeFi integrations are claimed; an “adopted by” list is present on the website.
- Partners: the website mentions “Developed in partnership with Hacken Foundation” (requires separate verification of the partnership format).
- Where it’s actually used: specific integration cases require separate verification against Tier‑1 artifacts.
AI component of the project
- What is real AI here? no Tier‑1 confirmation of an AI component (in the sense of ML/AI as part of the product) was identified.
- What is truly onchain? the ERC‑20 token is confirmed; the website also claims on‑chain modules (for example, on‑chain KYC and verifier hooks).
- Why is a token needed? claimed as a utility token for paying for services/access; additional incentives/gov mechanics are described as future ones.
- Red flags (what to double‑check): which modules are actually onchain and where the contract addresses are; what exactly the audit covers; which exact data/methods are used in the risk score and token analytics.
