KYC/AML Risk Assessment & Monitoring Platform

Breadcrumbs provides comprehensive KYC/AML technology for cryptocurrency businesses through automated risk scoring, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring capabilities across 15+ blockchain networks. The platform combines real-time intelligence with robust verification tools to help organizations meet regulatory compliance requirements.

Risk Scoring and Assessment

The risk scoring system analyzes multiple factors including transaction patterns, connections to known high-risk entities, associations with mixers or tumblers, sanctions list matches, and behavioral indicators of suspicious activity. Risk assessment is available across different subscription tiers with varying clearance levels, from basic indicators (Level 1/5) to comprehensive high-risk attribution data (Level 4/5). The system assigns risk scores to addresses, helping users make informed decisions about transaction counterparties across Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, Solana, BNB Smart Chain, Tron, Base, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Optimism, Arbitrum, Ronin, Blast, and Scroll.

API Integration

Breadcrumbs One API enables developers to integrate cryptocurrency investigation, risk assessment, and compliance features directly into applications and workflows. The API offers specialized endpoints including:

• Risk Scoring Endpoint (GET /risk/address): Assess risk scores for individual blockchain addresses across all supported chains
• Sanctions Screening Endpoint (POST /sanctioned_address): Check addresses against sanctions lists to ensure regulatory compliance
• Attribution Endpoint (POST /attribution): Access crowd-sourced database of 850M+ data points to identify entities and services
• Smart Expand Endpoints: Intelligently expand transaction graphs to reveal hidden relationships

Authentication uses a custom X-API-KEY header with JSON responses, supporting multi-chain investigation through a unified interface. This enables building custom compliance workflows, integrating risk assessment into wallets and exchanges, automating AML/KYC checks, and embedding blockchain intelligence into fraud prevention systems.

Transaction Monitoring

The monitoring system provides continuous surveillance of blockchain addresses with automated alerts for suspicious activities. Compliance tier subscribers gain access to real-time monitoring features that provide immediate alerts when monitored addresses engage in suspicious transactions. Users can configure custom monitoring rules based on transaction amounts, counterparty risk scores, specific entity types (exchanges, mixers, sanctioned addresses), and behavioral patterns. The collaborative monitoring features enable multiple analysts to coordinate investigations and collectively respond to alerts.

Compliance Features

The platform supports organizations meeting AML/CFT obligations, sanctions compliance (OFAC, UN, EU), and crypto-specific regulations across jurisdictions. Key compliance capabilities include real-time monitoring, high-risk attribution data access, automated sanctions screening, risk-based assessment aligned with regulatory expectations, audit trail generation (CSV, PDF exports), and team collaboration for coordinated compliance operations. Multi-chain coverage (15+ networks) ensures comprehensive monitoring across the fragmented blockchain ecosystem.
