Plastron is a free, self-service alternative to TRM Labs for individuals: it screens a wallet for sanctions, mixer and stolen-fund exposure across seven EVM chains, without TRM's enterprise contract or onboarding.

TRM Labs is a blockchain intelligence company that provides AML compliance products to cryptocurrency exchanges, fintech companies, and government agencies. Their flagship product screens cryptocurrency transactions for risk signals and is used by Coinbase, FTX (pre-collapse), and multiple government agencies including the US Department of Homeland Security and the Israeli National Police. TRM Labs is known for particularly broad multi-chain coverage and their systematic approach to financial crime risk classification. Like other enterprise blockchain analytics providers, TRM Labs products are not accessible to individual users. When Coinbase uses TRM Labs to screen your deposit wallet, the results of that screening are not shared with you — you either pass or receive an unexplained hold. Plastron provides individual users with a free, transparent view of the core risk signals that TRM Labs and similar tools evaluate: OFAC sanctions exposure from the official government source, mixer protocol interaction, connections to known exchange hacks and DeFi exploits, and fraud and phishing signals from community databases. The goal is not to replicate TRM Labs' full capabilities — which include proprietary cross-chain clustering, behavioral analytics, and government intelligence feeds that are not publicly available — but to give you the first-line compliance picture that explains the majority of exchange deposit outcomes.
