Answer

AML screening checks a crypto wallet's transaction history against sanctions lists and known illicit-activity databases to flag risk before an exchange does; Plastron runs it free, with no signup, across seven EVM chains.

AML Screening for Your Crypto Wallet

Know what your wallet has touched before an exchange decides for you.

Exchanges run AML checks on every deposit. If your wallet has interacted with a sanctioned address — even indirectly — your funds can be frozen for months. The problem? Most people have no idea what their wallet history looks like from a compliance perspective. You might have received ETH from a mixer two hops away and never known. You might have traded on a DEX that routed through a flagged contract. These things happen in DeFi every single day, and by the time an exchange flags your deposit, the damage is already done. Plastron gives you the same lens that compliance teams use, so you can check before they do.

How Plastron Helps

Sanctions & Watchlist Matching

We cross-reference your wallet against the OFAC SDN list, known mixer contracts, stolen fund addresses, and over 3,800 flagged entities. Direct hits and indirect exposure are both surfaced with severity ratings so you understand the real risk picture.

One-Hop Exposure Analysis

Plastron maps your direct counterparties and flags any connections to high-risk entities. You get a clear breakdown of which addresses you have sent to or received from that carry sanctions, mixer, or exploit exposure — with volume and recency data.

Instant, Free Results

Connect your wallet, hit scan, and get your full AML report in under 30 seconds. No account creation, no credit card, no data stored. The scan is read-only and non-custodial — we never touch your private keys or request transaction signing.

Risk Categories We Screen

Sanctions
OFAC SDN, EU, and UN sanctioned addresses. Direct or indirect exposure flags your wallet instantly.
Mixer
Tornado Cash, Blender, and other mixing protocols. Interaction with these services is a major red flag.
Stolen Funds
Wallets linked to hacks, exploits, and bridge attacks. Even receiving a fraction taints your address.
Darknet
Addresses associated with darknet marketplaces. Any connection triggers heightened scrutiny at exchanges.
