Answer

Crypto compliance screening checks whether a wallet's history would trigger an exchange's AML or sanctions controls; Plastron makes this screening free and self-service, offering an informational signal rather than licensed compliance certification.

Crypto Compliance Screening Made Simple

Compliance screening should not require a compliance department. One scan, one dashboard, zero confusion.

Compliance screening in crypto has a gatekeeping problem. The tools that do it well are built for enterprises. The documentation reads like legal briefs. The dashboards assume you have a compliance team interpreting the output. Individual users — the ones who actually face the consequences of deposit freezes — are left to figure it out alone. Here is the reality: if you hold crypto and ever plan to convert it to fiat, you will interact with a regulated platform. That platform will screen you. If your wallet has compliance issues, you will face delays, holds, or account restrictions. And the compliance world is not going to simplify itself for you. FATF guidelines are getting stricter. The Travel Rule is expanding. MiCA is live in the EU. Japan, Singapore, and South Korea all have crypto-specific AML frameworks now. The regulatory direction is clear: more screening, not less. Plastron is built for people who want to stay ahead of that curve without hiring a compliance officer.

What Plastron does for crypto compliance screening

Plain-Language Risk Signals

No legal jargon, no compliance acronym soup. Each risk signal in your report has a clear title, a severity rating, a description of what was found, and the evidence behind it. "Mixer exposure: 3 transactions with Tornado Cash ($12.5K)" tells you exactly what the issue is. We designed the output for humans who need to act on the information, not compliance departments filing reports.

Regulatory-Relevant Categories

The screening categories map directly to the risk types that regulators and exchanges care about: OFAC sanctions violations, mixer protocol usage, connections to stolen or exploited funds, darknet marketplace interactions, fraud scheme involvement, and phishing contract exposure. These are the exact categories that appear in compliance frameworks from FATF, FinCEN, and the EU. We are not inventing risk categories — we are matching the ones that exist.

Which risks are checked

Sanctions
OFAC SDN-listed addresses. Direct or indirect exposure flags your wallet instantly.
Mixer
Tornado Cash, Railgun and other labelled 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.
Fraud
Scam tokens, rug pulls, and pig-butchering schemes. The fastest-growing category of crypto crime.
Phishing
Known phishing wallets and address poisoning campaigns. These drain victims through deception.
