Proof of funds for crypto means documenting where a wallet's assets came from when an exchange requests it; Plastron's free risk report helps you understand and evidence your wallet's on-chain history before you respond.

Proof of funds requests from crypto exchanges are increasingly common as regulatory pressure on exchange compliance programmes intensifies. An exchange may require source-of-funds documentation before processing a large withdrawal, during an account review triggered by an unusual transaction pattern, or as part of enhanced due diligence for customers who hit certain activity thresholds. The request typically asks you to explain the origin of the funds in your account — where the crypto came from, which wallets sent it to you, and what the economic activity underlying those transactions was. The challenge for most users is that crypto transactions are pseudonymous and dispersed. You might have accumulated ETH through a combination of mining, exchange purchases, DeFi yield, NFT sales, and transfers from friends — each with its own documentation trail. Producing a coherent, credible source-of-funds narrative requires tracing each significant inflow back to its origin. Plastron's scan report provides the counterparty analysis layer of this tracing process: it identifies the entity types behind each major inflow, the USD volumes involved, and the risk profile of each counterparty. For clean inflows from identified exchanges and DeFi protocols, this data supports a straightforward source-of-funds narrative. For inflows that trace to unidentified addresses or flagged counterparties, it identifies exactly which transactions will require more detailed explanation. Having this information before you respond to the exchange — rather than discovering it during the back-and-forth — dramatically improves the quality and credibility of your submission.
