AML risk scores help exchanges, businesses, and individuals assess the compliance risk of a Optimism wallet before transacting. Our tool provides a risk score that reflects exposure to sanctions, illicit markets, and obfuscation services.
How Optimism wallet risk scores work
Optimism's Superchain initiative connects it to Base and other OP Stack chains. Cross-chain risk can propagate across the entire Superchain ecosystem. Risk is calculated by analyzing the OP address transaction graph and comparing it against databases of known bad actors, sanctioned entities, and high-risk services.
What factors affect a OP 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 — Like all EVM Layer 2s, Optimism shares address formats with Ethereum. Bridge activity can transfer AML risk from Ethereum mainnet to Optimism and vice versa.
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
