Plastron
Answer

KYC verifies your identity, but a wallet check (KYT) examines what your address has actually done on-chain; Plastron shows you that on-chain risk profile free before an exchange screens your deposit.

KYC Wallet Check: See What Exchanges See

You passed KYC on the exchange. Your wallet still needs to pass their risk screening.

There is a common misconception that KYC ends with identity verification. You uploaded your passport, took a selfie, and got approved. Done. Except it is not done. KYC is ongoing. Exchanges monitor your wallet activity continuously, and they run risk checks on every deposit and withdrawal. Your wallet address has its own reputation score — completely separate from your personal identity verification. A wallet that interacts with sanctioned addresses, receives funds from mixers, or touches exploit-linked contracts accumulates risk regardless of who owns it. Many users discover this the hard way when a deposit gets frozen despite their account being fully verified. Identity KYC passed. Wallet KYC failed. Two different checks, two different outcomes. Plastron lets you run the wallet side of that equation yourself.

How Plastron Helps

Address Reputation Analysis

Your Ethereum address carries a reputation based on its transaction history. Plastron evaluates that reputation by analyzing up to 1,000 transactions, mapping counterparty relationships, and checking every address against our threat intelligence database. You get a composite risk score that reflects how a compliance system would perceive your wallet activity.

Entity Identification

We label known entities in your transaction history — exchanges, DeFi protocols, bridges, mixers, and flagged addresses. Instead of staring at raw hex addresses, you see who you have been transacting with and whether any of those entities raise red flags. Entity labels come from curated databases covering over 3,800 known addresses.

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.
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.
