Why PublicAML?

By default—compliance for everyone. Free, fast, anonymous.

The Protection Gap

Traditional AML solutions are designed for banks and large centralized exchanges, leaving the decentralized crypto ecosystem vulnerable.

Wallets, OTC desks, and DeFi platforms remain blind to sanctioned addresses, scam operations, and high-risk transactions.

This creates a massive security gap that bad actors exploit daily, putting millions of users at risk.

Why Trust PublicAML?

Built on principles of transparency, accessibility, and public good

The score is a stated policy, not a model

Two axes set every number. What is alleged carries its own severity, who alleges it carries one trust rank from 0 to 100, and the score at the point of origin is the lower of the two. The whole derivation travels in the same response as the score, so you can check it instead of trusting it.

source rank

A weak source cannot carry a heavy accusation, and a strong one cannot make a soft category heavy.

Our Commitment to Trust

We believe that AML protection should be a public good, not a profit center. Our commitment to transparency and accessibility drives everything we do.
