Layering
Typical severity: HIGH
Mixer Interaction
A direct, first-hop transfer to or from a wallet labeled as a mixing/tumbling service.
Why it matters
Mixers exist specifically to break the on-chain link between source and destination — this is a textbook layering technique and a strong behavioral risk signal.
How we detect it
Check first-hop counterparties directly against curated mixer/tumbler entity labels.
Example evidence
A direct deposit to or withdrawal from a labeled mixer address.
