Typical severity: CRITICAL

Direct Sanctions Match

The scanned wallet itself appears on a sanctions or blacklist record — not a counterparty, the wallet.

Why it matters

A direct hit is the strongest freeze signal that exists. Issuers and exchanges treat a direct sanctions match as an immediate compliance event, and receiving assets is a legal risk for the sender too.

How we detect it

Cross-reference the scanned address against official sanctions lists and curated blacklist reference data.

Example evidence

Wallet address matches an entry in reference sanctions data by exact address.
