Crypto compliance and AML screening

AI crypto agents automate anti-money laundering (AML) screening and compliance checks for crypto transactions—flagging suspicious activity, sanctioned wallets, and regulatory reporting requirements in real time.

Problem

Crypto businesses (exchanges, DeFi platforms, custodians) face growing regulatory requirements for AML, KYC, and transaction monitoring. Manual compliance teams can't keep up with transaction volume, and delayed screening creates regulatory risk. FATF travel rule compliance, sanctions screening, and suspicious activity reporting require analyzing thousands of transactions daily against constantly updated watchlists.

Solution

The AI agent monitors on-chain and off-chain transactions in real time, screens wallet addresses against sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN) and known-risk databases (Chainalysis, Elliptic), analyzes transaction patterns for suspicious behavior (structuring, layering, rapid movement), and auto-generates SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) drafts for compliance officers to review. It adapts to new regulatory requirements as they're published.

Benefits

Real-time screening vs. batch processing delays
95%+ reduction in false positives compared to rule-based systems
Auto-generated SAR drafts cut reporting time by 70%
Continuous adaptation to new sanctions lists and regulatory changes

How to get started

1
Connect transaction data
Integrate with your exchange, wallet infrastructure, or blockchain nodes. The agent ingests transaction data in real time and maps wallet addresses to known entities where possible.
2
Configure risk rules and thresholds
Define your risk appetite: sanctions screening strictness, transaction pattern thresholds (structuring amounts, velocity), and SAR filing triggers. Start with regulatory minimums and tune based on your risk profile.
3
Monitor and report
Review flagged transactions daily. The agent presents risk-scored alerts with supporting evidence and recommended actions. Approve, dismiss, or escalate each alert. For SAR-eligible cases, review the auto-generated draft, add analyst notes, and submit.

Recommended tools
