Answer

A wallet risk check scores a crypto address from Low to Critical based on its links to mixers, sanctions, scams and stolen funds; Plastron's free check returns that verdict in seconds with no signup.

Wallet Risk Check: Know Your Score Before Exchanges Do

Exchanges score your wallet behind closed doors. Now you can see what they see.

Every time you deposit to an exchange, their compliance system runs a risk check on your wallet. It happens silently. You never see the score. But if it comes back high, your deposit gets flagged, your account goes under review, and your funds might be locked for weeks or months. This is not hypothetical — thousands of users have had deposits frozen at Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken because of wallet risk scores they never knew existed. The frustrating part is that many of these flags come from indirect exposure: receiving ETH that passed through a mixer three hops back, or interacting with a DeFi protocol that shared liquidity with a sanctioned pool. Plastron runs the same kind of risk check and shows you the result upfront, so you are never blindsided.

How Plastron Helps

Risk Score 0–100

Your wallet gets a composite risk score calculated from six weighted categories: sanctions exposure, mixer interaction, stolen funds, darknet links, fraud signals, and phishing patterns. The score maps to four severity levels — Low, Medium, High, Critical — so you instantly understand where you stand and whether an exchange is likely to flag you.

Counterparty Breakdown

We identify your top counterparties — the addresses you have sent to and received from most frequently — and check each one against our threat intelligence database. Risk rings visualize the score for each counterparty so you can spot the problem connections at a glance without digging through raw transaction data.

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.
Stolen Funds
Wallets linked to hacks, exploits, and bridge attacks. Even receiving a fraction taints your address.
Fraud
Scam tokens, rug pulls, and pig-butchering schemes. The fastest-growing category of crypto crime.
