Wallet Screening & Risk-Signal API for UAE Virtual-Asset Teams

OnChainRisk is a developer-first wallet screening and blockchain risk-signal API for UAE virtual-asset businesses. Send an address to receive a 0-100 risk score, risk level, pattern flags, and explainable risk reasons on supported networks — as one input into your own compliance and risk process. Self-service: sandbox, instant API key, public pricing, no sales call.

Who It's For

VASPs & exchanges

Add a wallet risk check to deposit, withdrawal, or counterparty review.

OTC & payment businesses

Screen a destination or counterparty wallet before settling, including USDT-TRC20 flows.

Wallet providers

Surface address risk signals inside your own product flow.

Compliance teams

Automate a first-pass wallet risk review and route elevated risk to a human.

Engineering / API teams

Integrate the REST API using a sandbox key first, then a paid key for production.

UAE regulatory context

UAE virtual-asset businesses operate under regulatory frameworks — including VARA in Dubai and the FSRA in ADGM — that require appropriate AML/CFT monitoring and screening controls. OnChainRisk provides risk signals you can use as one input into your own compliance and risk process. OnChainRisk is not affiliated with, endorsed, certified, or licensed by any UAE regulator, and does not by itself satisfy any regulatory obligation — responsibility for meeting your obligations remains with your firm.

Wallet screening & risk signals

You have the address

A deposit, payout, or counterparty settlement is pending and you have the destination/counterparty address.

Call the screening API

Send the address to the API; the network is detected from the address format. Specify the network for non-Ethereum EVM chains. Test with a sandbox key before production.

Read the risk score & signals

Read the 0-100 risk score, pattern flags, fund-flow exposure, counterparties/labels where available, and sanctions checks where supported.

Approve, review, or escalate

Auto-approve low-risk addresses, route elevated risk to manual review, and hold or escalate high-risk ones — within your own process, before funds move.

Developer proof

Send an address to POST /api/v1/check with your API key. The same call works with a sandbox key (ocr_test_) or a paid key. Only address is required; pass network to disambiguate non-Ethereum EVM chains.

Request

curl -X POST https://api.onchainrisk.io/api/v1/check \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ocr_test_your_sandbox_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"address": "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48"}'

Example response — low-risk address, from the API reference

{
  "address": "0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48",
  "network": "eth",
  "riskScore": 5,
  "riskLevel": "low",
  "patternFlags": []
}

A screening response can include riskScore (0-100), riskLevel, riskConfidence, patternFlags, ranked riskReasons, and topCounterparties. Sanctions-related signals may be included where supported. These are risk signals to support your review — not a guarantee. See the full wallet screening API and API reference for every endpoint and field.

USDT-TRC20 / TRON flows

For teams handling USDT-TRC20 flows, the API can score TRON addresses and review USDT-TRC20 counterparties alongside other supported networks. See the Tron wallet checker for the TRON-specific view, and sanctions screening for how sanctions signals surface.

Network coverage

Multi-chain coverage is in active rollout. Availability and historical completeness vary by network — see the live coverage matrix for current per-network status.

Self-service, sandbox-first

Create a free sandbox API key (prefixed ocr_test_), test your integration against real endpoints, then upgrade to a paid key for production. No sales call required.

Transparent, public pricing: free sandbox key, then paid tiers (Pro $49/mo, Business $249/mo). See the blockchain analytics API for the wider forensics surface.

A risk-signal input, not a full AML program

OnChainRisk surfaces risk signals to support your review. It is not a guarantee that a wallet is clean, not legal advice, and not a full compliance or KYT program replacement. Use it alongside your own controls and decisions.

Get a sandbox / API key

OnChainRisk surfaces risk signals to help you review wallets before funds move. It is not a guarantee that a wallet is clean, not legal advice, and not a full compliance or KYT program replacement. Sanctions checks apply where supported; coverage varies by network. OnChainRisk is not affiliated with, endorsed by, certified, or licensed by any UAE regulator.
