Free AML firewall for crypto — check any wallet instantly

PublicAML is a free, real-time AML check for crypto addresses. Screen wallets against sanctions and scam lists before you send — via web, API, or Telegram bot. No API key required to start. Built as a public good for wallets, OTC desks, DeFi apps, and individual users. OFAC/EU sanctions + verified scam databases.

Finally tried the Telegram bot and honestly it's way faster than I expected. Checked a sketchy address against OFAC and got a clean answer in like two seconds.
One thing that would make this super useful for OTC desks like ours: a bulk CSV upload option so we can screen a whole batch of withdrawal addresses at once instead of checking them one by one through the API.
We're the makers. Happy to answer API / chain-coverage questions in the comments.
If you ship a wallet or desk tool, the pre-send pattern is here: https://publicaml.hashnode.dev/add-pre-transaction-kyt-screening-to-wagmi-ethers-free-api
Sandbox (no key): https://intelapi.publicaml.org/
Try OFAC example: 0x67d40ee1a85bf4a4bb7ffae16de985e8427b6b45 (ETH)
Tried it on a few sketchy addresses from my DMs and the Telegram bot responded almost instantly, which is way faster than the API tools I've been using. Solid free option for quick sanity checks before sending.
The no-API-key-to-start thing is genuinely smart, removes the biggest friction point for someone just wanting to check an address quickly. Solid execution on a tool that honestly should have existed sooner.
The fact that you made sanctions and scam screening actually accessible without an API key gate is a quietly powerful choice. Feels built by people who understand the real friction in this space.
