How can I screen blockchain transactions for terrorism-financing risk?
Run involved wallets through sanctions and AML screening to surface direct matches against OFAC, EU, and UN designated-entity lists, plus indirect exposure through one or two hops to flagged entities. OnChainRisk produces a 0-100 risk score per address across 23 networks, attaches sanctions and watchlist signals where applicable, and lets compliance teams export PDF reports for case files. This is a compliance and screening workflow — it generates signals and documentation, not real-world identity attribution. In practice, screening is a layer that feeds your existing KYT, SAR, or law-enforcement liaison process — outputs are inputs to a regulator-facing case, not an independent intelligence assessment. Documentation is the deliverable: each flagged wallet should have a retained screening record showing the list match, hop count, and timestamp.
How to do it
- Submit each involved wallet address to the sanctions screening tool.
- Check both direct matches (the wallet itself is flagged) and indirect exposure (1-hop and 2-hop counterparties).
- Note the 0-100 risk score and any specific watchlist or sanctions match attached to the address.
- If any wallet hits a sanctions or watchlist signal, escalate to your compliance, KYT, or law-enforcement liaison process.
- Document findings, attach the screening evidence, and export a PDF report for the case file.
