the problem we solve
crypto payment processors and platforms face a growing threat: compromised wallets. when a user deposits funds from a wallet involved in hacks, mixer activity, or sanctioned addresses, the operator absorbs that risk unknowingly. this can result in frozen funds, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.
sentinelpay was built to solve this at the deposit layer — before transactions are accepted.
what sentinelpay does
sentinelpay is a wallet risk intelligence api. before your platform accepts a crypto deposit, you call our /v1/score endpoint with the sender's wallet address. we return a risk score from 0 to 100 and a category:
| score range | category | recommended action |
|---|---|---|
0 – 30 |
low risk | accept deposit |
31 – 69 |
medium risk | accept with manual review |
70 – 100 |
high risk | block deposit, log event |
who is it for?
sentinelpay is built for b2b operators who process high-volume crypto transactions, including:
- crypto casinos and gaming platforms
- crypto payment gateways
- nft marketplaces and dex aggregators
- compliance and aml teams
how the risk engine works
our engine combines multiple on-chain heuristics to produce a score. key signals include:
- mixer interaction — direct or indirect contact with known mixing services
- darknet market exposure — funds linked to known illicit markets
- sanction screening — cross-referenced against ofac and chainalysis datasets
- transaction graph analysis — hop-count analysis from flagged sources
- exchange clustering — classification of counterparty exchanges by risk tier
sentinelpay does not store or retain wallet scan results linked to your users. all queries are ephemeral and comply with gdpr data minimisation principles.
