Every EU CASP is supervised
MiCA has been fully applicable since December 2024. A licensed CASP has to evidence its AML controls — screening included — to its regulator.
Crypto AML & wallet screening
Ichnos screens crypto wallets and counterparties for sanctions exposure and illicit-cluster proximity, then hands you the audit-ready report your regulator expects. Combined entity + wallet screening, EU data residency, self-serve credits from €149/mo — compliance-grade screening priced for SME crypto businesses, not just exchanges.
Why now
Every licensed EU crypto business now has to screen wallets and counterparties and keep the evidence. The tools that do it well are priced for exchanges — five- and six-figure contracts, sales-led onboarding. A 3–20-person CASP, an EMI with incidental crypto flows, or an audit firm running an engagement is left with manual OFAC checks in a spreadsheet: slow, error-prone and hard to defend.
MiCA has been fully applicable since December 2024. A licensed CASP has to evidence its AML controls — screening included — to its regulator.
The Transfer of Funds Regulation requires originator and beneficiary information on crypto transfers, with verification for unhosted-wallet counterparties above €1,000.
Every check has to be kept as an auditable record for your annual AML audit and your supervisor — not a screenshot or a spreadsheet row.
What Ichnos does
Screen the counterparty and the address together — one request, one risk picture, one report. The differentiator pure chain tools do not have.
Match wallets against the EU consolidated list and OFAC SDN crypto addresses, and flag proximity to sanctioned sources.
See how many hops a wallet sits from a listed address, so exposure to high-risk sources is visible, not hidden.
Every check yields a signed, timestamped PDF and CSV — the defensible evidence you hand your compliance file and your auditor.
Each match carries a certainty tier and the reason it scored. No black-box number you cannot explain to a supervisor.
Sign up, run your free trial checks, top up when you need more. Per-check credits, no seats, no minimums, no procurement cycle.
Screen inline in your onboarding or transfer flow and get the result and report back programmatically. Available on Growth and Scale.
Your data stays hosted in the EU, GDPR export and erasure automated by default — an EU tool for EU-supervised firms.
How it works
Create your account and run 100 checks free — no card. Hold a credit balance and spend one credit per check; top up any time.
Paste an address or a counterparty. Ichnos returns sanctions exposure, illicit-cluster proximity and PEP/sanctions matches — each with a certainty tier, in one result.
Download the signed, timestamped report with its data-source provenance and match detail. It goes straight into your compliance file and your auditor’s hands.
See it in action
Pick an example wallet to see the kind of result Ichnos returns — a risk tier, the reason it scored, the data source it ran against, and the audit report you keep. Same shape as a real check; the numbers below are on example wallets.
This is a real OFAC SDN-listed address — Lazarus Group (DPRK), designated over the Ronin Bridge exploit. An exact list match is the highest-certainty tier: a listing, not a proximity estimate. Escalate before any transfer.
About one hop from a flagged address in the transaction graph — a proximity signal to investigate, not a finding of guilt. Exposure is a modelled estimate, not a measured trace.
No known exposure to the flagged set within the analysed graph. That is the absence of a known link on the data screened — not a guarantee of innocence (see the methodology).
The sanctioned example is a real OFAC SDN-listed address (Lazarus Group, Ronin Bridge); the exposed and clean examples use illustrative addresses. Create a free account to screen any real address, with the first 100 checks free.
Trust & control
Ichnos gives you defensible evidence and keeps your data in the EU. The screening is the input; the report you hand your auditor is the point.
Your screening data stays hosted in the EU, with export and one-click erasure automated by default. Built by an EU company for EU-supervised firms.
Every check is signed, versioned and timestamped, and records the data source it was run against. When your regulator or auditor asks how you screened, the answer is in the file.
We screen against the EU consolidated list and OFAC SDN, which publish crypto addresses directly, and mark each result with a certainty tier — no black-box scores you cannot explain.
Screen the counterparty and the wallet together — powered by our own PEP/sanctions entity engine (PROOViD). Pure chain-analytics vendors bolt this on badly, or not at all.
The deliverable
Every check produces a signed, timestamped audit report — its data-source provenance, the wallet and entity findings, and a certainty tier on every match. That is the file that goes into your compliance record and in front of your auditor.
Built hands-on by an engineer who ships compliance and crypto software — the same person behind the PROOViD screening engine Ichnos runs on. You deal with the maker, not a sales layer.

FAQ
Two things in one check: the crypto wallet — for sanctions exposure and proximity to illicit clusters — and the counterparty entity behind it, against PEP and sanctions lists. You get a single risk picture and a report you can file, instead of stitching together a chain tool and a separate name-screening tool.
Official sources: the EU consolidated sanctions list and the OFAC SDN list, both of which publish crypto addresses directly, plus PEP/sanctions entity data from the PROOViD screening engine. Wallet exposure is assessed as N-hop proximity from listed addresses. Every result carries a certainty tier so you can see how strong a match is, not just a score.
It targets the same job — screen wallets and counterparties, evidence it for your auditor — but for firms the enterprise tools price out: small and licence-seeking CASPs, EMIs with incidental crypto flows, and the consultancies that serve them. Self-serve, per-check credits, combined entity + wallet screening, and EU hosting, instead of five- or six-figure annual contracts and a sales cycle.
Ichnos gives you the screening and the audit-ready evidence your supervisor and auditor expect to see — but you remain the obliged entity and own the compliance decision. Think of it as the tool that runs the check properly and keeps the defensible record, not a legal guarantee.
A signed, timestamped, versioned artifact (PDF and CSV) for each check: the wallet and/or entity screened, the lists and data sources it was run against, every match with its certainty tier and the reason it scored, and the exposure findings. It is designed to be handed straight to a compliance file or an external auditor.
In the EU. Ichnos is built by an EU company for EU-supervised firms, with data residency in the EU and GDPR export and erasure automated by default.
You hold a credit balance and spend one credit per check. Monthly plans include a bundle of credits (300 / 1,500 / 6,000) and you can top up with credit packs from €49 any time. Every plan starts with a free 100-check trial, and there are no seats or minimums.
Yes, on the Growth and Scale plans. Screen a wallet or counterparty inline in your onboarding or transfer flow and get the result and report back programmatically, so screening is a step in your process rather than a manual detour.
Yes — that is the partner tier. One login runs screening across every engagement, with per-engagement segregation and reporting and wholesale credit pricing. A single consultant can screen for every crypto client they serve and hand each one a co-branded audit artifact.
It is self-serve: sign up, run your free trial checks, and top up when you are ready — no sales call. Your first screening and report can be minutes away, not a procurement project.
