What does the AMLBot check show?
The basic AMLBot check result includes risk score
percentage, sources of risk, and belonging to the blacklist.
In addition, the check result may include various optional information
about the address, such as belonging to the cluster, actual balance, and
transferred funds amount.
The check result may be incomplete
in relation to the described data if the necessary information is
missing.
Please note that for blockchains that are in the
limited mode, clustering and percentage value of the check risk score
are not available. A risk score can be provided for a counterparty only
if it relates to an entity.
What does the percentage risk score mean?
The overall risk score (percentage) is the probability
that the address is associated with illegal activity.
AMLBot
finds connections of a checked address to other addresses on the
blockchain and with entities of different categories, each with a
different conditional risk score, and calculates the overall risk score
based on those connections.
The overall risk score
calculation takes into account the risk severity of connections found.
For example, in the case of connections to entity categories Mining (0%
risk) and Darknet (100% risk), the risk impact of Darknet, as a more
risky category, will be higher, and Mining will have less weight in the
risk assessment.
What do the sources of risk mean?
AMLBot checks the specified wallet address for
connections to known blockchain services - entities. AMLBot
conventionally groups these services into groups with different risk
levels of illegal activity - entity categories.
The AML
check shows the connections of the checked address to these entity
categories as the sources of risk, with which the address interacted,
and the percentage of funds transferred from/to these
services.
Based on all the sources of risk, an overall risk
score is calculated, which helps the user to make further decisions
about the assets.
What is the difference between an address and a
transaction checks?
An address check is an analysis of all its connections
to other addresses and entities on blockchains, considering incoming and
outgoing funds movement.
A transaction check process differs
from the address check, and the result depends on your side in the
transaction. The overall risk score always relates to the
counterparty.
To check a transaction you need to specify the
TxID and the destination address of the transaction and select your side
in the transaction:
- Recipient (you got a deposit to your wallet)
- the addresses from which the funds were received are checked. The
sources of risk describe the services from which the TX senders
accumulated the transferred funds with a percentage breakdown.
-
Sender (you made a withdrawal from your wallet) - the wallet that
received the funds is checked. The sources of risk describe all
connections of the recipient address with a percentage
breakdown.
Thus, when checking a transaction, the risks for
the recipient are checked if you receive funds, and the risks for the
sender if you send funds.
How do I understand risk assessment?
Each client determines for himself what percentage of
risk is acceptable for him. Conventionally, the risk score can be
divided as follows:
- 0-25% is a clean wallet/transaction;
- 25-75% is the average level of risk;
- 75%+ such a wallet/transaction is considered risky.
It is also worth paying attention to the red sources of risk in the
detailed analysis, described in

What cryptocurrencies does AMLBot analyze?
AMLBot supports all major blockchains and tokens on
them. We are constantly adding support for additional cryptocurrencies.
You can always check the up-to-date list of supported cryptocurrencies

How does AMLBot help to protect you against
blocking?
By checking counterparties' wallets before a
transaction, you can reject their assets if the risk score is high.
Also, before transferring funds to other services, you can check your
wallet address and save the result (make a screenshot).
If
the check shows that your assets had no connection with illegal activity
and the service blocked you, you can provide the saved result to confirm
the purity of your assets.
The risk is higher than 50%, but I am certain that
the address is reliable. What to do?
The check results are based on the international
databases, which are constantly updated. So an address that had 0% risk
yesterday may have received or given the asset to a risky counterparty
today. In this case, the risk score will change. If you want to be sure
of the result and determine what the cause of the high risk is, we can
do a detailed check for you. To do it, email us at

How often are checks recommended to do?
An answer to this question depends on your unique risk
model. The general recommendation would be to perform an AML check every
time you interact with an unknown wallet or a smart contract.
How quickly is the balance replenished?
After transaction confirmation, the balance is
replenished:
• up to 10 minutes if the payment was made within 24
hours after the invoice was issued,
• up to 25 minutes if the
payment was made after 24 hours after the invoice issuance. Overall,
BTC, ETH, USDT, and fiat are processed faster than other
cryptocurrencies.
What happens if I don't use all my checks
each month?
If you purchased checks without expiration date - they
remain in your account, and you can use them at any time.
If
you purchased checks with a time limit - they will be deducted from your
account after expiration date.
What if I will need more checks?
You can buy additional checks as needed. The number of
checks is always displayed within your user information.
