AMLHow to check Solana (SOL) for AML and sanctions
Updated: 25 August 2026 · sources: OFAC, Chainalysis, TRM, Tether/Circle blacklists
Before you accept SOL, screen the sender. Solana's speed and low fees make it a favourite for wallet-drainers and memecoin scams — funds move fast, and tainted SOL can get your exchange deposit frozen.
Solana concentrates a specific risk: drainer kits, fake airdrops and pump.fun-style memecoin scams. Stolen SOL is often swapped and pushed through fresh wallets within minutes. If the SOL you receive traces back to a drainer or a known scam address, a compliant exchange can flag it.

What we check for SOL
OFAC sanctions, drainer / scam labels, the TRM risk score and the connection graph — a consensus of independent sources, not a single database. High risk means a direct or near link to a drainer, a scam cluster or a sanctioned address.
Why it matters for P2P and OTC
P2P and OTC on Solana move quickly, which is exactly why a quick check pays off: once you accept SOL from a flagged wallet, unfreezing an exchange deposit takes weeks of correspondence.
FAQ
Do I need to connect a wallet?
No. A public address or a transaction hash is enough — never a seed phrase or a wallet connection. We never touch your funds.
What makes SOL addresses risky?
Most Solana risk comes from wallet-drainers and memecoin scams. We flag exposure to known drainer, scam and sanctioned addresses — direct or a few hops away.
Can I check by transaction hash?
Yes. We resolve the sender from the hash (EVM / TRON / BTC) and screen that address.
