An assessment of a crypto address or transaction for links to fraud, darknet and sanctions. Reduces the risk of receiving «dirty» coins and frozen funds.
In more detail
An AML check answers whether an address or coin is linked to fraud, the darknet or sanctions — «dirty» coins can be frozen on the receiver's side. It is especially important before accepting a large amount and before withdrawing to cash/a bank. A basic check (sanctions lists, on-chain data) is a quick filter; a full score is done by specialized services.
