AMLHow to check Bitcoin (BTC) for AML and sanctions
Before you accept BTC from a counterparty in a P2P deal, check their wallet for cleanliness. One risky transfer and the exchange freezes your deposit, not the sender.
BTC is the oldest network, and its dirty history stretches back years: mixers, darknet markets, sanctioned addresses. Exchanges analyze the origin of incoming BTC on deposit and block funds with a mixer or sanctions trail.

What exactly is checked
We check: OFAC sanctions on BTC, open ransomware/scam blacklists, the UTXO connection graph. We compare several independent sources (a consensus), not a single database — so more gets caught.
Why it matters for P2P
Exchanges (Binance, Bybit, MEXC, HTX and others) automatically analyze the origin of incoming crypto and block funds with a sanctions, mixer or darknet trail — often retroactively. A check takes 10 seconds; unblocking an account takes weeks of correspondence.
FAQ
Do I need to connect a wallet?

The first check is free. After that — from $0.45 per check; channel subscribers get 1 free per month.
Can I check by transaction hash?
Yes, we identify the sender by the hash (EVM, TRON, BTC) and check them.
