Key Features

Instant Bitcoin Address Risk Scoring
Enter any BTC address to get an in-depth risk score, based on behavior patterns, entity associations, and exposure to high-risk actors. 

Transaction-Level Analysis
Analyze individual BTC transactions with full transparency into sender, receiver, amount, timestamp, and risk indicators. 

Entity Attribution
Identify whether a wallet is connected to known entities, including exchanges, darknet markets, mixers, scams, and more. 

Sanctions & Watchlist Screening
Screen BTC addresses against global watchlists like OFAC, EU, and UN. Maintain compliance and reduce regulatory exposure. 

Visual Traceability
Explore the flow of funds with a dynamic, multi-hop transaction graph that makes complex movements easy to follow. 

BTCScan for AML: Is This the Same as a Bitcoin Blockchain Explorer?

No. Scorechain's BTC Scan is an AML compliance and risk screening tool, not a blockchain explorer.

A standard Bitcoin blockchain explorer such as btcscan.org, blockchain.com, or blockchair.com allows you to look up transaction details, wallet balances, and block data. They show you what happened on the Bitcoin network, but they do not tell you whether a wallet or transaction carries compliance risk.

Scorechain's BTCScan goes further. It analyses the risk profile of a Bitcoin address or transaction by cross-referencing it against sanctions lists, known illicit wallets, crypto mixers, darknet markets, and 300M+ labeled blockchain addresses. It answers the question that blockchain explorers cannot: is this Bitcoin address safe to transact with?

How to Run a BTCScan Check

You can run your first BTCScan check for free in two ways:

  • Use the Scorechain Telegram Bot for an instant BTC address risk check with no registration required.
  • Use Scorechain AI for a detailed wallet intelligence report with risk breakdown, entity classification, and compliance insights.

Both options are free, require no credit card, and are powered by Scorechain's full blockchain analytics engine. New users get one free check via Telegram and five free reports through Scorechain AI.

For teams and compliance workflows, here is the full process:

Step 1: Submit the Bitcoin address or transaction hash. Paste any BTC wallet address or transaction hash into Scorechain's dashboard, Telegram bot, Scorechain AI, or via API.

Step 2: Multi-source automated screening. The engine instantly cross-references the address against OFAC SDN, EU consolidated sanctions list, UN designations, and 300M+ labeled blockchain addresses across 10 risk categories.

Step 3: Risk score and category breakdown delivered. Results include a 0 to 100 risk score, a breakdown of all exposure categories, and a transaction flow map showing fund movement across multiple hops.

Step 4: Generate your compliance report. Export a structured AML report with a full audit trail, suitable for regulatory submission, internal review, or Travel Rule compliance documentation.

Step 5: Set ongoing monitoring alerts. Receive real-time notifications if a previously screened Bitcoin address later becomes flagged, essential for businesses with recurring counterparties.

When should you run a BTCScan check?

  • Before accepting a Bitcoin payment from a new counterparty
  • Before depositing BTC to an exchange or custodian
  • Before settling an OTC or P2P Bitcoin trade
  • As part of customer onboarding (KYC/AML) for BTC-facing products
  • When reviewing existing client wallets for ongoing compliance
  • When investigating a suspicious transaction or preparing a SAR

Frequently Asked Questions: BTCScan

Can I run a BTC Scan check for free? 

Yes. New users get one free check via the Scorechain Telegram Bot and five free detailed reports through Scorechain AI. Both are powered by the full Scorechain analytics engine and require no credit card.

Yes. Scorechain offers a REST API for direct integration into customer onboarding flows, transaction monitoring systems, and case management tools. Automated alerts, batch screening for high-volume environments, and structured report exports are all available. Contact the team for technical documentation and a custom demo.

Is a one-time BTCScan check enough, or do I need ongoing monitoring? 

For high-value or recurring counterparties, a one-time check is not sufficient. A Bitcoin wallet that is clean today may receive tainted funds tomorrow. Scorechain's continuous monitoring feature sends real-time alerts if a previously screened BTC address changes risk status, essential for exchanges, custodians, and businesses with ongoing customer relationships.
