Frequently asked questions
This page collects the most common questions about how the checker works, what the report means, and how to interpret live and fallback results.
What is a free AML wallet check?
A free AML wallet check is a first-pass screening workflow for a wallet address. It is designed to surface sanctions exposure, known risky services, and other on-chain warning signals before a transfer is accepted or sent.
The goal is not to replace a full investigation platform, but to give you a fast operational signal when you need a wallet decision quickly.
How do I run the check?
Paste the wallet address, confirm the blockchain, and start the scan. The report returns a score, network context, flags, provider mode, and a source-of-funds view when available.
If the chain provider responds normally, the result appears in live mode. If the provider is unavailable, the system may still return a limited fallback result.
What does the score mean?
Low scores usually suggest a cleaner-looking profile with fewer visible warning signals. Medium scores suggest caution and a need for more context. High and critical scores suggest stronger exposure to sanctioned, deceptive, or obfuscated activity.
The score should always be read together with the flags, source-of-funds split, and live-versus-fallback status shown on the page.
Why can a result stay in fallback mode?
Fallback mode appears when the live chain provider fails to return a usable wallet profile. This can happen because of provider downtime, rate limits, authentication changes, or temporary upstream instability.
A fallback result is still useful as a preliminary signal, but it should not be treated as strong evidence in the same way as a live provider-based result.
