What is AML screening for Ethereum?
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screening for Ethereum wallets checks transaction history against databases of known bad actors: OFAC-sanctioned addresses, darknet markets, ransomware payment wallets, scam contracts, and mixing services. Exchanges and financial institutions are legally required to screen crypto wallets before processing transactions.
Ethereum addresses are shared across all EVM-compatible chains (BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum). An address flagged on Ethereum may also be screened on other EVM networks.
Key risk signals for Ethereum wallets
Tornado Cash (sanctioned by OFAC in 2022) remains the primary mixer concern for ETH addresses. DeFi protocol hacks and scam token contracts are also tracked.
- OFAC sanctions — direct listing or exposure to SDN-listed addresses
- Darknet markets — funds received from or sent to illegal marketplace addresses
- Mixer / tumbler exposure — use of privacy or obfuscation services
- Ransomware — connections to known ransomware payment addresses
- Exchange hacks — funds originating from stolen exchange wallets
