Address risk-score

An address risk-score is a numeric assessment of how likely a crypto address is associated with illicit activity, derived from its direct and indirect exposure to known risky entities.

A risk-score condenses on-chain analysis into a single value plus a risk level (e.g. low/medium/high). Good scoring is explainable: it includes a confidence value and an exposure breakdown showing which categories (mixer, sanctioned entity, scam) the address touches and at what hop distance. Teams use the score to gate deposits and payouts and to prioritise manual review.
