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.

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.
