AML & compliance
The Merkle Science alternative with everything on one key
Merkle Science provides predictive risk and monitoring tooling. 1st Node serves the same compliance jobs as developer primitives so screening lives inside your product, not in a separate console you operate.
Where Merkle Science shines
Merkle Science is known for behavioural risk detection and transaction monitoring for compliance teams.
What you also get with 1st Node
- Risk-score and screening returned as JSON you act on programmatically.
- Pay per request from a prepaid balance — no per-seat minimum.
- Combine compliance with the RPC, graph and price data on one key.
- Fund-flow tracing exposed as a metered primitive for automated triage.

Frequently asked
Can engineers integrate without a compliance console?
Yes — every capability is a REST endpoint the product calls directly.
How small can I start?
Top up credits, create an aml-scoped key and call the risk endpoint — no contract.
Top up, get a key, ship.
Self-serve. Pay in crypto or card. Metered by credits — heavy primitives cost more, simple ones are cheap.
