Question 1

Is Plastron safe to use? Will it access my funds?

Accepted Answer

Plastron is 100% read-only and non-custodial. We only read your public wallet address — the same information anyone can see on a blockchain explorer. We never request transaction signing, approvals, or access to private keys. Your funds never leave your wallet.

Question 2

Why would my wallet be flagged if I haven't done anything wrong?

Accepted Answer

Risk exposure is often indirect. If you received funds from someone who interacted with a mixer, or used a DeFi pool that touched a sanctioned address — even several hops away — analytics tools may flag your wallet. P2P trades, bridges, and liquidity pools are the most common sources of accidental exposure.

Question 3

What happens if my wallet gets flagged by an exchange?

Accepted Answer

Exchanges typically freeze your deposit and initiate a compliance review. You'll be asked to provide source-of-funds documentation. This process averages 3–6 months, and many users never fully recover their assets. Plastron helps you avoid this entirely by screening beforehand.

Question 4

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Accepted Answer

Free lets you screen your own connected Ethereum wallet against basic sanctions lists. Pro unlocks the killer feature: screen ANY wallet address before receiving funds (counterparty screening), plus multi-chain support, Chainalysis and Elliptic deep analysis, real-time monitoring, and compliance certificates.

Question 5

Which blockchains do you support?

Accepted Answer

Plastron supports 50+ blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tron, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Base, Litecoin, XRP Ledger, and many more. Bitcoin is critical — 63% of OFAC-sanctioned addresses are on the Bitcoin network.

Question 6

Does Plastron guarantee my deposit won't be frozen?

Accepted Answer

No — and this is important to understand. Free scans analyze your wallet's direct transaction counterparties against sanctions lists and known flagged addresses. Exchanges use proprietary multi-hop graph analysis that traces funds through many intermediary wallets. A clean Plastron free scan means no direct exposure was found — but exchanges may flag indirect exposure that requires deeper analysis. Plastron Pro will include multi-hop tracing for comprehensive coverage.
