How far back does a check look?

The provider traces the full known history of the address, including counterparties several hops away. Older activity carries less weight than recent transfers.

Does a clean check guarantee the funds are safe?

It reflects the data available at the moment of the check. Databases are updated and counterparties keep transacting, so an address can be scored differently later.

Can I check an address before receiving funds?

Yes, and that is the point: ask the sender for the address in advance and check it before the transfer, not after.

Is my check visible to the address owner?

No. A check reads public blockchain data and provider databases; nothing is sent on-chain and the owner cannot see it.

What is the difference between checking an address and a transaction?

An address check covers its whole history and counterparties. A transaction check covers one transfer: where exactly that amount came from.

AML check for crypto wallets and transactions

Check a wallet or transaction before you accept funds: risk score, source of funds and exposure to mixers, darknet and sanctions.

What an AML check shows

An AML check traces where the crypto in an address or transaction came from and scores the risk. Funds linked to darknet markets, mixers or sanctioned entities put your own wallet at risk.

Two types of AML check

Wallet verification covers an address and its counterparties. Transaction verification covers a single transfer.

Transaction

Risk level of the transaction
Sources of funds inside the transaction
Share of clean and risky funds
General and technical details
Amount of risky assets
All senders and recipients involved

Address

Risk level of the wallet
Sources the wallet receives funds from
Share of clean and risky funds held
Wallet usage statistics
Amount of risky assets held
Transactions the wallet took part in

Networks and tokens we check

One check covers the address or the transaction on its own network — no separate tool per chain.

Native coins

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Tron (TRX), BNB Smart Chain (BNB), XRP, Solana (SOL), Dash (DASH) and Zcash (ZEC).

Stablecoins and tokens

USDT and USDC on Ethereum, Tron and BNB Smart Chain, plus DAI, LINK, UNI, WBTC, SHIB, MATIC and WETH. The token network matters: the same USDT on Tron and on Ethereum are two different addresses with two different histories.

Paste an address or a transaction hash — the network is detected automatically.

Sources in three risk categories

Trusted, Suspicious and Dangerous — every source in the report falls into one of the three.

Where the data comes from

A risk score is only as good as the database behind it. Kytme connects several blockchain analytics providers, so one check is not limited to one vendor's view.

Every check runs through the provider you choose: Crystal Intelligence, BitOK or VALEGA Chain Analytics.
Providers label addresses independently, so scores for the same address can differ. On a disputed address a second check with another provider settles it.
Results come from the provider as they are, without our own recalculation — you see the assessment the provider stands behind.

How an AML check works

Five steps to a report

Step 1
Buy a package of checks or start with trial access on the pricing page.
Step 2
Copy the crypto address or the transaction hash you want to check.
Step 3
Paste it into the search field and run the search.
Step 4
On the address or transaction page press Check Address or Check Transaction, and sign in if needed.
Step 5
Review the risk score, sources of funds and counterparties, then save or share the report.

What to do with the result

Low risk

Accept the funds. Keep the report if the counterparty is new to you — it records the state of the address on the date of the check.

Suspicious sources

Look at which categories triggered the score and what share they hold. A small share of P2P exchange is not the same as funds arriving straight from a mixer.

High risk

Do not accept the transfer if you still can. If the funds are already in and an exchange has frozen a withdrawal, the report shows the origin of the funds and the exact share linked to risky sources — that is the document a compliance team asks for.

A report stays available in your account and can be opened again without spending units.
