OFAC Sanctions Screening for Crypto AI Agents

Why Crypto agents need sanctions screening

Crypto-native agents that handle on-chain payments interact with pseudonymous wallets by default — and the chain does not tell you whether a counterparty is sanctioned. agentmail screens any EVM, Bitcoin, or Tron address against 782 OFAC-listed crypto wallets before your agent signs a transaction.

OFAC has made clear that mixing, routing, or settling to a sanctioned address is a violation regardless of whether you knew the identity behind it. For agents using x402, Coinbase AgentKit, or AP2, a pre-payment sanctions check is the cheapest insurance you can run.

Add a single curl call to your agent's payment path, or wire it into your MCP client. The free tier needs no API key — your crypto agent can start screening wallets in minutes.
