What is wallet screening?

Wallet screening is the process of analyzing cryptocurrency wallet addresses to assess their risk levels and identify any connections to illicit activities or high-risk entities. It is a critical component of cryptocurrency compliance and blockchain intelligence, helping to ensure that digital assets are not used for illicit purposes such as money laundering, fraud, or terrorism financing.

Wallet screening leverages advanced blockchain analytics to flag suspicious addresses and enhance transparency within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

How does wallet screening work?

Wallet screening involves examining blockchain wallet addresses against known databases of high-risk or sanctioned entities. The process typically includes:

Database matching: Wallet addresses are compared against blacklists, watchlists, and other databases maintained by regulators, law enforcement, and private organizations.

Behavioral analysis: Patterns of transactions are analyzed to detect unusual activity, such as rapid transfers, high-frequency transactions, or use of mixers and tumblers.

Risk scoring: Each wallet is assigned a risk score based on its activity, connections, and any associations with flagged entities.

Real-time monitoring: Advanced tools continuously monitor wallet activity to detect any changes in behavior or new connections to illicit activities.
