AML Crypto Check — Cryptocurrency Address Purity Analysis

The check runs on public blockchain data. You paste the address and pick the network and the coin; the service then collects the transaction history, the address's links and the categories of fund sources. No access to the wallet is needed: the seed phrase and private key play no part in the check, and nobody should ask you for them. Not sure where to find the address?

The result is a report with a risk score from 0 to 100. It stays in your check history: you can download it as a PDF, reopen it later or send a colleague a view-only link.

• The risk score and its level: low, medium or high.
• Key data: network, coin, check date, number of incoming and outgoing transactions.
• Fund flows: where the money came from and where it went, broken down by type — transfers, exchanges, mixers.
• The address's links, grouped into dangerous, suspicious, trusted and other.
• A flag when the address is tied to a known incident, such as a hack.

The links and flows are what explain the final number. Two addresses can get the same score for different reasons: one because of a large deposit from a high-risk exchange, the other because a small amount passed through a mixer.

• In your account on the website, where your report history is also kept.
• In the Telegram bot — handy when you need to check an address straight from a chat with a counterparty.
• In the RiskScanner mobile app.
• Through the AML API — when checks have to run inside your own service: incoming payments, withdrawals, customer onboarding.

AMLKYC.tech checks addresses in 18 networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain, Solana, Toncoin, Litecoin, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base and Avalanche. Pick the network the address really belongs to. USDT, for example, circulates in 12 of them, and USDT on TRON (TRC-20) and on Ethereum (ERC-20) are separate tokens with separate histories. The wrong network leads to an error or an empty report.

Look past the final number to the categories and how close the link is. Receiving funds straight from a sanctioned address is a different risk from an indirect link several transfers away. Keep the full report, not just the score: it records what your decision was based on.

How the score is built and what to do when it is high is covered on the AML Risk Score page.

• Before accepting a transfer from a new counterparty — especially in P2P and OTC deals.
• Before sending funds to an unfamiliar address: if it belongs to a scammer, getting the money back is rarely possible.
• Before depositing coins you received from others to an exchange: the exchange may block the deposit if their history includes risky sources.
• For businesses — on every deposit and withdrawal, so that screening is part of the process rather than a one-off.

The report relies on labelled addresses — ones whose owner or activity is known. If nobody has flagged a scammer's address yet, the check will not recognise it. A low score therefore means “no known risks found”, not “the address is clean”.

The data changes: the address gets new transactions and databases get new labels. You can re-run a check, and the score will be recalculated on the current blockchain history. The limits are described in more detail in the AML disclaimer.
