Risk Disclaimer

This page explains, in plain terms, what an AML check result from this Service does and does not mean. It supplements, and does not replace, our Terms of Service.

1. The risk score is a third-party automated estimate, not a verdict. Results are produced by our AML risk-scoring provider's KYT (Know-Your-Transaction) engine, which analyses public blockchain data against its own database of known entities (exchanges, sanctioned addresses, mixers, darknet markets, scams, and similar categories) and heuristic clustering. It is a probabilistic, automated estimate - not a legal determination, not a sanctions-list check performed by a government authority, and not a substitute for a licensed compliance officer's judgement.

2. Risk levels shown. Results use the provider's standard scale: none, low, medium, high, severe, or undefined (when a network/asset has limited data coverage). "Undefined" does not mean "safe" - it means the underlying data was insufficient to produce a confident score, and should generally be treated with the same caution as an unknown risk.

3. Coverage varies by network. Not every blockchain network and token has the same depth of data behind it - some networks support full transaction-exposure and counterparty analysis, others only more limited checks. The Service currently only offers networks that our provider meaningfully supports; even so, a "none"/"low" result reflects the absence of detected risk within the provider's current data, not a mathematical guarantee that the funds have no problematic history.

4. False negatives and false positives are possible. New addresses, addresses with very little transaction history, and funds that have been deliberately obfuscated may score lower than their real-world risk. Conversely, an address can show elevated risk due to a small, indirect, historical link (for example, having once received a tiny "dust" amount from a flagged entity) that has no bearing on the current transaction's legitimacy. Always read the risk breakdown (risk type, proximity - direct vs. indirect, and value share) rather than relying on the headline risk level alone.

5. Not investment, legal or tax advice. Nothing in a check result should be read as advice to enter into, decline, or reverse any transaction, nor as advice on regulatory reporting obligations that may apply to you in your jurisdiction. If a result affects a real decision with legal or financial consequences, consult a qualified professional.

6. Our role. We operate the interface, billing, and account layer around our provider's API; we do not independently verify, audit or override the provider's risk assessments. Questions about the scoring methodology itself are ultimately governed by that provider's own documentation.
