Crypto due diligence starts with screening the wallet you are about to transact with for sanctions, scam and stolen-fund exposure; Plastron provides that wallet-level due diligence free as an informational risk signal.
Crypto Due Diligence Starts With Your Wallet
Before you deposit, before you trade, before you transfer — check the risk.
Due diligence in crypto used to mean "check if the project has a whitepaper." Those days are gone. Today, due diligence means understanding your own exposure. It means knowing whether the wallet you are about to deposit from will trigger a compliance review. It means checking whether the DeFi protocol you used last week shared a liquidity pool with sanctioned funds. It means looking at your transaction history the way an exchange compliance officer would look at it. This level of self-awareness is not paranoia — it is practical risk management. In 2022, over $20 billion in crypto was associated with illicit activity according to Chainalysis. Even a tiny fraction of that flowing through legitimate wallets creates a massive web of indirect exposure. If your wallet touched any thread of that web, you have a due diligence problem. The question is whether you discover it on your terms or on the exchange terms.
How we approach crypto due diligence
Structured Risk Report
Every Plastron scan produces a structured due diligence report: composite risk score, category-level breakdown, alert flags with severity ratings, counterparty analysis with entity labels, volume-weighted exposure, fund flow visualization, and activity timeline. It is the kind of report that compliance teams generate internally — except you get it for free, for your own wallet, in under 30 seconds.
Evidence-Based Findings
Each risk signal comes with evidence: the counterparty address, the risk category, the transaction volume in ETH and USD, the number of interactions, and the last interaction timestamp. This is not a vague "your wallet might have issues" warning. It is specific, verifiable, and traceable back to actual on-chain data. You can cross-reference every finding on Etherscan yourself.
Pre-Deposit Intelligence
Think of Plastron as a pre-flight checklist for exchange deposits. Run a scan before you deposit. If the report comes back clean, proceed with confidence. If it shows flags, you know exactly what they are and can decide how to handle them — wait, use a different wallet, or reach out to the exchange proactively. Either way, you are making an informed decision instead of hoping for the best.
