Challenges Facing Crypto Exchanges

As cryptocurrency adoption grows, exchanges face increasing pressure to implement robust AML programs while maintaining seamless user experience.

  • High-Volume Deposit Screening

    Exchanges process thousands of deposits daily. Manual screening is impossible at scale. You need automated, real-time risk assessment for every incoming wallet address.

  • Regulatory Compliance Pressure

    Global regulators require exchanges to implement AML programs. FATF Travel Rule, local licensing requirements, and sanctions screening obligations are growing more complex.

  • Reputation & License Risk

    A single incident with illicit funds can result in regulatory fines, banking partner loss, or license revocation. Exchanges need proactive risk detection to protect their business.

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow quickly can we integrate MistTrack into our exchange?

Our REST API can be integrated in under a day. We provide SDKs, comprehensive documentation, and our team offers integration support for Compliance Plan customers. Most exchanges go live within 1-3 business days.

QDoes MistTrack support all the chains our exchange lists?

MistTrack supports 19 major blockchain networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, and more. Each chain supports native assets and major tokens like USDT and USDC.

QCan we automate the deposit screening process?

Yes. Our API-first approach is designed for automated integration. You can call the risk_score endpoint synchronously during your deposit processing pipeline, or use the asynchronous API for asynchronous task creation and polling.

QWhat is the FATF Travel Rule and how does MistTrack help?

The FATF Travel Rule (Recommendation 16) requires Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to share originator and beneficiary information for transfers above certain thresholds. MistTrack helps by screening counterparty addresses, identifying the entity type, and flagging sanctioned or high-risk wallets before processing transfers.

QHow does MistTrack compare to Chainalysis or Elliptic?

MistTrack offers comparable AML screening capabilities with several advantages: lower pricing starting at $20/year for API-only access, 400M+ labeled addresses, strong coverage of Asian blockchain ecosystems, and flexible pay-as-you-go options via x402. We also provide post-exploit investigation tools developed by SlowMist's security team.

QWhat compliance frameworks does MistTrack help with?

MistTrack helps exchanges comply with FATF recommendations, EU Transfer of Funds Regulation, various national AML/CFT requirements, and sanctions screening obligations (OFAC, UK HMT, EU, UN). Our STR reports follow standard regulatory formats.

QHow does MistTrack detect sanctioned addresses?

MistTrack integrates OFAC SDN List, UK HMT sanctions, EU consolidated list, and NBCTF data. Our database includes 500K+ threat intelligence addresses and 90M+ risky addresses, updated in real-time as new sanctions are published.
