How to check Ethereum (ETH, ERC-20) for AML and sanctions
Before you accept ETH from a counterparty in a P2P deal, check their wallet for cleanliness. One risky transfer and the exchange freezes your deposit, not the sender.
Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens (including USDT/USDC) are under tight sanctions control. The Chainalysis oracle and on-chain Tether/Circle blacklists apply here: an address can be frozen by the stablecoin issuer instantly.

What exactly is checked
We check: OFAC, the Chainalysis oracle, USDT/USDC blacklists (eth_call), TRM, the 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?
No. A public address is enough — the same one you already give your counterparty. We never get access to your funds.
How much does a ETH check cost?
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.
