Know what a contract can do, and who controls it.
Cali Contract Intelligence is the smart-contract surface of the Cali platform. It presents functions, roles, events, and upgrade patterns in a way that risk teams, investigators, and lawyers can work with—without needing to read bytecode directly.
The goal: understand what a contract enables, who can change it, and how that affects your customers, cases, and risk program.
Analysts must understand contract interactions, risk surfaces, privileged roles, and upgradeability. This is time-consuming and often requires engineering support.
- Reduces reliance on protocol engineers
- Identifies dangerous functions immediately
- Makes contract behavior explainable to non-technical teams
- Bytecode/function mapping
- Permission surface & privileged role detection
- Upgradeability and proxy analysis
- AI-assisted contract documentation
- Risk heuristics for MEV, drain patterns, freeze roles
A wallet interacts with a DeFi contract that has an undisclosed admin key. This module flags upgradeability, identifies privileged calls, and recommends an escalation path.
- Summarizes key functions, admin controls, upgradeability, and permissions in plain language.
- Highlights ownership, multi-sig, proxy relationships, and privileged operations that matter for risk.
- Surfaces known patterns that have historically led to abuse or loss.
- Links to transactions, holders, and on-chain behavior through the rest of the Cali platform.
- Exchange and fintech compliance teams
- Banks and VASPs reviewing customer wallets and flows
- Crypto compliance & AML investigation teams
- Fraud, investigations, and recovery units
- Risk owners preparing internal reviews
AI reads the same metrics the investigator sees—contract structure, functions, permissions, and upgrade patterns—and proposes candidate explanations for risk and governance implications.
- Describes what the contract can do, how upgrades work, and where authority sits.
- Highlights patterns such as pausable contracts, mint/burn powers, or direct balance manipulation.
- Suggests questions to ask counterparties or protocol teams during diligence.
- Produces draft language that can be used in risk summaries, memos, and approvals.
AI does not make the final decision; analysts remain in control. AI accelerates draft creation and reduces cognitive load.
The emphasis is on control, governance, and potential for abuse—not only on low-level code details.
- Who can upgrade or pause the contract, and under what conditions.
- Whether there are backdoors, emergency powers, or admin functions affecting user assets.
- How the contract interacts with other contracts, protocols, and services.
- How these design choices map to your organization’s risk appetite.
This module complements how you review wallets, flows, and portfolios in other Cali modules.
- Start in Balance and Assets to see exposure, then move into Contract Intelligence for deeper review.
- Use Graph and Activity to see how contracts are actually being used.
- Bring findings into Report Station to document decisions and approvals.
See how Contract Intelligence behaves on contracts you already care about.
We recommend starting with the protocols and contracts your team already scrutinizes. That's the fastest way to decide if Cali's view matches your standard for risk and governance.
