AML risk scores help exchanges, businesses, and individuals assess the compliance risk of a Avalanche wallet before transacting. Our tool provides a risk score that reflects exposure to sanctions, illicit markets, and obfuscation services.
How Avalanche wallet risk scores work
Avalanche's C-Chain uses the same 0x address format as Ethereum. Cross-chain bridges (Avalanche Bridge) can transfer risk exposure from Ethereum to AVAX addresses. Risk is calculated by analyzing the AVAX address transaction graph and comparing it against databases of known bad actors, sanctioned entities, and high-risk services.
What factors affect a AVAX wallet's risk score?
- OFAC sanctions — direct listing on SDN list or exposure to listed addresses
- Darknet market exposure — funds sent to or received from illegal marketplace addresses
- Mixer / tumbler usage — use of privacy or obfuscation services
- Ransomware connections — links to known ransomware payment addresses
- Exchange hack exposure — funds originating from stolen exchange wallets
- Chain-specific signals — Avalanche has hosted several DeFi protocols that experienced exploits. Funds from these hacks that moved to AVAX addresses are tracked in AML compliance databases.
Risk score interpretation
- 0–25 — Low risk: no significant flags detected
- 26–59 — Medium risk: indirect exposure, requires review
- 60–84 — High risk: significant exposure, enhanced due diligence required
- 85–100 — Critical risk: direct connection to sanctioned or illicit addresses
