Ichnos

Crypto AML & wallet screening

Screen the wallet. Keep the proof.

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.

  • No sales call
  • EU data residency
  • Entity + wallet in one check

Why now

MiCA and the Travel Rule made screening non-negotiable.

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

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.

Travel Rule

Counterparty & wallet checks

The Transfer of Funds Regulation requires originator and beneficiary information on crypto transfers, with verification for unhosted-wallet counterparties above €1,000.

The audit

Records your auditor can read

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 wallet and the entity — evidence both.

Combined

Entity + wallet in one check

Screen the counterparty and the address together — one request, one risk picture, one report. The differentiator pure chain tools do not have.

Sanctions

Sanctions & exposure screening

Match wallets against the EU consolidated list and OFAC SDN crypto addresses, and flag proximity to sanctioned sources.

Clusters

Illicit-cluster proximity

See how many hops a wallet sits from a listed address, so exposure to high-risk sources is visible, not hidden.

Report

Audit-ready artifact

Every check yields a signed, timestamped PDF and CSV — the defensible evidence you hand your compliance file and your auditor.

Transparency

Match transparency

Each match carries a certainty tier and the reason it scored. No black-box number you cannot explain to a supervisor.

Self-serve

Credits, no sales call

Sign up, run your free trial checks, top up when you need more. Per-check credits, no seats, no minimums, no procurement cycle.

API

API & webhooks

Screen inline in your onboarding or transfer flow and get the result and report back programmatically. Available on Growth and Scale.

EU data residency

Your data stays hosted in the EU, GDPR export and erasure automated by default — an EU tool for EU-supervised firms.

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.

Trust & control

Built for the audit — and for your data.

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.

EU data residency & GDPR

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.

Evidence you can defend

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.

Official-source data, honest tiers

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.

Entity + wallet in one check

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.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does Ichnos screen?

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.

Which lists and data sources do you screen against?

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.

Is this a Chainalysis / Elliptic alternative?

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.

Does Ichnos make me MiCA / Travel Rule compliant?

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.

What is actually in the report?

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.

Where is my data hosted?

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.

How does pricing and the credits model work?

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 25-check trial, and there are no seats or minimums.

Do you offer an API and webhooks?

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.

Can a consultancy or audit firm use Ichnos for its clients?

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.

How fast can I start?

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.

Your next AML check, done properly.

Run your first 25 wallet and counterparty checks free, and hand your auditor a report you can stand behind.
