Real-time wallet monitoring re-checks an address against updated sanctions and risk data so new exposure surfaces quickly; Plastron lets you re-scan any wallet free on demand, with continuous monitoring on its roadmap.

A wallet scan gives you a snapshot. It tells you where things stand right now. But risk does not stay static. New addresses get added to sanctions lists. Previously unknown exploiter wallets get attributed. A counterparty you interacted with last month might get flagged tomorrow. And if your wallet receives an unsolicited transfer from a newly sanctioned address, your risk profile changes without you doing anything. Point-in-time scanning is valuable — it catches existing exposure. But it has a blindspot: it cannot alert you when new risk appears between scans. If you scan today and deposit to an exchange next week, anything that changed in between is invisible to you. Real-time monitoring closes that gap by continuously watching your wallet and alerting you when your risk profile changes. This is how enterprise compliance systems work — always on, always scanning. Plastron is bringing that capability to individual users through our upcoming Pro tier. In the meantime, free on-demand scans cover the fundamentals.
