AML and source-of-funds decisions

Cryptocurrency address screening before funds move

Give sanctions, AML, enhanced-due-diligence, and source-of-funds teams one source-cited screening check across four separate evidence classes—without asking reviewers to become blockchain engineers.

  • 10 supported government sanctions authorities
  • 36K+ recorded blacklist, freeze, and seizure actions
  • 324 stablecoin and Real-World Asset Tokens

Plain-language foundation

An address is the crypto equivalent of an account destination

A crypto address—often called a wallet address—is the identifier used to receive or send assets on a blockchain network. It usually does not contain a person's name. Screening connects that identifier to covered public evidence that a compliance team can review before making a customer or transaction decision.

Eagle Virtual normalizes the submitted address for its address family and checks the supported evidence sources relevant to it. For address formats used across multiple EVM networks, the same submitted address can be assessed across supported networks without requiring the analyst to re-enter it chain by chain.

Compliance translation: address screening supplements customer identification and transaction context. It does not identify the beneficial owner, infer intent, or replace the customer's KYC, sanctions, AML, or source-of-funds procedure.

Four checks, one decision point

What Eagle Eye Report checks

Each evidence class answers a different compliance question. The report keeps them separate so an analyst can see which public source or recorded on-chain action supports the result.

Government sanctions

Does the address appear in a covered authority source?

Review the named authority, public source, and available status information supporting the sanctions record.

Stablecoin intelligence

Has a covered token company recorded a control action?

Review public blacklist, freeze, seizure, or reversal actions recorded for the submitted address, token, and network.

Bridge use

Was an interaction with a covered bridge recorded?

See the interaction, direction, and source or destination networks where the available evidence supports them.

Mixer use

Was an interaction with a covered privacy service recorded?

See the recorded event involving the submitted address, with role or direction where available. Treat it as a review indicator, not a conclusion.

Existing compliance controls

Screen at the point your procedure requires a decision

Address screening is most useful when it arrives before the operational decision—not after the transfer is complete. Apply it at the moments that already exist in your control framework.

Customer onboarding

Assess a disclosed deposit, withdrawal, custody, treasury, or settlement address alongside identity and business-purpose information.

Inbound crediting

Review the sending address and available evidence before crediting received crypto to a customer account.

Outbound release

Screen the destination before approving a withdrawal, transfer, collateral release, or treasury payment.

Enhanced due diligence

Use the source-cited facts to focus questions about customer purpose, expected activity, source of funds, ownership, and supporting documents.

Cross-chain context

What recorded bridge interaction evidence can—and cannot—tell you

A bridge moves assets from one blockchain network to another. Eagle Virtual records covered bridge interactions involving the submitted address and shows direction, source or destination network, asset, and amount where the available evidence supports those fields.

On supported EVM networks, covered protocols include the Optimism, Base, and Polygon standard bridges, Across, and Celer cBridge. This is an interaction record, not multi-hop tracing, fund-following, wallet clustering, or counterparty attribution. It does not establish why the bridge was used or what happened beyond the recorded event.

Source-cited output

Evidence your team can explain and route

Eagle Eye Report organizes the available facts by evidence source. The reviewer can identify what matched, what public action was recorded, and what context is available before applying the organization's own procedure.

Named evidence source

Identify the government authority, token company, covered protocol, network, and public record supporting the result.

Action and timing

Review the recorded action type, timestamp or chain position, and later reversal information where available.

Customer-controlled decision

Document the context reviewed, route the case under your procedure, and decide whether more information or monitoring is appropriate.

From individual checks to established workflows

Use the web experience, API, CSV, reports, Slack, or email

Start with an individual address review, use batch and CSV options for larger lists, or connect implemented API and notification workflows. Preserve the same evidence-class distinctions wherever the result is delivered.

Questions compliance teams ask

Cryptocurrency address screening FAQ

What is cryptocurrency address screening?

Cryptocurrency address screening (also called blockchain address screening) checks a submitted crypto address against covered evidence sources before a compliance decision. Eagle Eye Report separates government sanctions records, stablecoin-company control actions, and recorded bridge or mixer interactions so the reviewer can assess each evidence class in context.

What does Eagle Eye Report check?

It checks four evidence classes: covered government sanctions sources, recorded stablecoin blacklist, freeze, and seizure actions, recorded bridge interactions, and recorded mixer or privacy-service interactions. Each class is presented separately with the available source information.

Does a bridge or mixer interaction establish suspicious purpose?

No. A recorded bridge or mixer interaction is a review indicator. It does not establish purpose, intent, ownership, a linked movement of funds, or wrongdoing. The customer compares the event with customer purpose, expected activity, source-of-funds information, timing, amount, and the broader sequence.

Can teams use address-screening evidence in existing workflows?

Yes. Eagle Virtual supports web, API, CSV, report, Slack, and email workflows. The customer owns its procedures, review, recordkeeping, escalation, and decision.

Which networks can an address be screened on?

Ethereum address screening is covered, alongside every other network in coverage. The four evidence classes are answered per network, and each result names the network it came from. The full, current list is on supported blockchain networks.

Is cryptocurrency address screening the same as a risk score?

No. Eagle Virtual returns named sources, recorded actions, and timing — the facts a reviewer can read, cite, and put in a file. It does not return a score, a band, or an opinion about an address. The decision stays with the customer's procedure.
