Wallet Screening FAQ
What is wallet screening used for?
Wallet screening is used to review whether a crypto address has on-chain activity that may require compliance review, such as sanctions, fraud, mixer, or other high-risk exposure.
Does wallet screening prove an address is illegal?
No. A result is a risk signal, not a legal verdict; analysts should review category, distance, context, and documentation before taking action.
Is wallet screening required for every user?
Requirements depend on jurisdiction and business model, but regulated VASPs generally treat transaction monitoring as part of AML/CFT controls under guidance such as FATF virtual asset guidance.
What should I check in a wallet screening result?
Focus on the chain, transaction direction, exposure category, hop distance, flagged entities, and whether the result needs enhanced review or documentation.
Can wallet screening create false positives?
Yes. Shared exchange wallets, privacy tools, old clustering data, and indirect exposure can create noisy results, so human review remains important.
