Crypto risk scoring converts a wallet's on-chain history into a single 0–100 number and a Low-to-Critical verdict; Plastron computes this score free across six risk categories once you sign in — no wallet custody, no cost, just a free account.
Crypto Risk Scoring: Your Wallet, Quantified
A single number that tells you whether your next exchange deposit will go smoothly or sideways.
Risk scoring is the backbone of crypto compliance. Every exchange, every payment processor, every regulated platform assigns a numerical score to your wallet. That score determines whether your deposit sails through or gets frozen. The scoring is not simple. It is not just "did you interact with a bad address or not." Compliance systems weigh different risk categories differently. Sanctions carry more weight than fraud signals. Mixer exposure matters more than phishing dust. The amount transferred matters. The recency matters. Whether you sent or received matters. And the thresholds for action vary by platform. What scores as "medium" on Coinbase might trigger a review at a smaller exchange. The only way to navigate this reality is to know your score before they calculate it. Plastron applies a transparent, weighted scoring model so you can see exactly where your risk comes from and how severe it is.

Weighted Composite Scoring
Our scoring engine evaluates six risk categories with different weights reflecting their real-world compliance impact. Sanctions carry 30% weight because OFAC violations have the most severe legal consequences. Mixer exposure at 25% reflects exchange sensitivity to privacy protocol usage. Each category is scored independently, then merged into a composite with override rules for critical findings.
Four Severity Levels
The 0-100 score maps to four clear verdicts: Low (0-25), Medium (26-50), High (51-75), and Critical (76-100). Override rules ensure accuracy — any critical flag automatically floors the score at 70, and two or more high-category scores set a floor of 50. A direct OFAC sanctions match always produces a score of 100. These overrides prevent edge cases where mathematical averaging would understate real risk.
