Name of Project
PureFi
Application type
Grant - 500 Launches ($20M)
Proposal overview
PureFi is the only DeFi compliance protocol for mitigating risks of interacting with high-risk illicit assets and onboarding institutionals into DeFi. We aim to provide a full-cycle solution for crypto asset analytics and AML/KYC procedures on the DeFi market.
PureFi is already launched on the three networks - Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon. We are now looking to port to the Harmony network to develop our product further and contribute to the ecosystem achieving a broader outreach. We are building a solution that within a set of smart contracts will connect KYC/AML providers with DeFi users and Dexs/Defi projects on various networks to provide crypto assets analytics and protect honest DeFi market players from “dirty money” risks. For example, the liquidity pool user will avoid the risk of getting an illegal money trail using the Verifiable Credentials certificate with his full-fledged AML/KYC data.
Currently, PureFi has released its MVP and interacts with the beta testers to gather valuable feedback and suggestions. The current version of the product utilizes various AML providers in order to check the purity of one’s cryptocurrency assigning a certain ML risk score to a user. However, by connecting to Harmony’s ecosystem, we want to be the first who will be able to build a framework for the analysis of its blockchain interactions to analyze and detect different classes of operations, cluster analysis will be applied. By clustering, we mean the distribution of addresses between large groups of labeled entities (clusters) that are closely connected through their operations. This mapping activity will bring AML compliance to the Harmony ecosystem and use PureFi’s solution to provide crypto assets analytics, and protect honest DeFi market players.
At the MVP stage, we already have big names (DEXes, IDO platforms and DeFi protocols) in our pipelines which we currently integrate as our beta testers. These partnerships will allow millions of users who interact with DeFi daily, as regulations and further “tightening” of the DeFi are on the horizon. Our community currently consists of +100k users who believe in our idea and wish to stay AML compliant.
We are a team of around 30 professionals who are confident that this complex AML solution will be an integral part of the Harmony ecosystem in the future.

Our milestones are:
-
Months 1-2:
-
General documentation describing the clusterization approach taken.
-
Toolkit for parsing Harmony Blockchain and exporting to SQL Database
-
Months 2-4: Toolkit for analyzing “closeness” of the arbitrary address to existing clusters.
-
Months: 4-5:
-
Explorer-like web interface to navigate through clasterized and labeled blockchain.
-
Testing, bug fixing.
-
Production release.
Proposal ask
$100k.
We are asking for an increased grant allocation due to the fact that we estimate the price of clustering Harmony blockchain to be rather high, as it is a complex project, which will also require us to employ and contract additional resources.
Justification
We are requesting $100k in equity-free contribution:
- 20k after launching a toolkit parsing Harmony Blockchain
- 20k after forming DAO with 5-out-of-9 multisig with our DAOs
- 20k after deploying on the mainnet explorer-like web interface to navigate through clusterized and labeled blockchain
- 20k after surpassing 1k verification requests
- 20k after surpassing 10k verification requests
Metrics for success
Clusters defined and clusterization performed.
10k+ address verification requests served.
