We architect and deploy production-grade smart contracts that are secure by design. Our process includes formal verification, comprehensive unit testing, and third-party audits from firms like CertiK and Quantstamp to eliminate vulnerabilities before mainnet deployment.
Automated Sanctions Screening Engine Development
Smart Contract Development
Secure, gas-optimized smart contracts built to your exact specifications.
- Custom Logic: Build
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, and bespoke token standards. - DeFi Protocols: Automated market makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, yield aggregators.
- Gas Optimization: Achieve up to 40% lower transaction costs through advanced Solidity patterns.
- Full Audit Trail: Complete documentation and a verifiable deployment history on Etherscan.
From a 2-week MVP to a complex multi-chain system, we deliver contracts that are reliable, upgradeable, and ready to scale.
Core Engine Capabilities
Our automated sanctions screening engine is built on a foundation of proven technology and security-first principles, delivering the accuracy, speed, and reliability required for institutional adoption.
Real-Time On-Chain & Off-Chain Screening
Monitor wallet addresses and transaction flows against OFAC, UN, and EU sanctions lists with sub-second latency. Our engine integrates both on-chain data and traditional KYC/AML sources for comprehensive coverage.
Proprietary Risk Scoring Engine
Move beyond binary flagging. Our ML-powered engine assigns dynamic risk scores based on transaction patterns, counterparty history, and jurisdictional data, enabling nuanced compliance decisions.
Modular Rule Engine & Policy Management
Configure and deploy custom compliance rules without code changes. Tailor screening logic for specific jurisdictions, token types, or business lines through an intuitive admin dashboard.
Immutable Audit Trail & Reporting
Every screening decision, alert, and override is cryptographically logged on-chain or in a tamper-evident ledger. Generate regulator-ready reports for audits in minutes, not days.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Privacy
Built with zero-knowledge proofs and secure multi-party computation options. Client data and screening logic are protected with bank-grade encryption and SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure.
Seamless Multi-Chain Integration
Deploy a unified screening layer across Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and other EVM/L1 networks. Our engine normalizes address formats and chain-specific data for consistent policy enforcement.
Business Outcomes for Your Protocol
Our automated sanctions screening engine delivers measurable compliance and operational advantages, built specifically for the demands of DeFi and on-chain finance.
Real-Time Transaction Screening
Screen every on-chain transaction and wallet interaction against global sanctions lists (OFAC, UN, EU) in < 100ms, preventing compliance violations before they settle.
Reduced Regulatory Risk
Prove due diligence to regulators with an immutable, auditable log of all screening decisions. Our engine is built to meet evolving FATF Travel Rule and MiCA requirements.
Lower False Positive Rates
Leverage proprietary heuristics and on-chain intelligence to reduce false positives by over 70% compared to legacy providers, minimizing user friction and support overhead.
Seamless Protocol Integration
Deploy a fully managed screening module via API or smart contract hooks. Integrate with existing DeFi pools, bridges, and custody solutions in under 2 weeks.
Operational Cost Savings
Automate manual review processes, reducing compliance team workload by up to 80%. Predictable, volume-based pricing eliminates surprise fines and audit costs.
Enhanced User Trust & Growth
Signal security and compliance maturity to users, partners, and investors. A robust screening layer is a prerequisite for institutional adoption and scaling into regulated markets.

Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, security-first approach to deliver a production-ready sanctions screening engine. We focus on rapid integration and measurable compliance outcomes.
Compliance Architecture Review
We analyze your transaction flows, risk tolerance, and regulatory obligations to design a screening architecture that balances security with performance. This includes mapping OFAC, EU, and other relevant sanctions lists to your specific use case.
Engine Core Development
Development of the high-performance matching engine using fuzzy logic, name normalization, and real-time data ingestion. Built with Rust/Go for sub-100ms latency and 99.9% uptime reliability.
Smart Contract Integration
Secure integration with your existing DeFi protocols or wallet systems. We implement gas-optimized on-chain verification modules and off-chain attestation services to prevent blocked transactions from consuming unnecessary gas.
Security Audit & Penetration Testing
Comprehensive security review of the entire screening stack—from API endpoints to data storage. Includes third-party audits for smart contract components and adherence to financial-grade security standards (SOC 2 Type II principles).
Staging & Load Testing
We deploy to a staging environment identical to production and execute load tests simulating peak transaction volumes (10k+ TPS). This validates scalability, identifies bottlenecks, and ensures the engine performs under stress.
Production Deployment & Monitoring
Managed deployment to your cloud or on-prem infrastructure with full observability setup. We provide dashboards for hit rates, false positives, and system health, along with 24/7 alerting for list updates and performance issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on development timelines, security, integration, and support for your custom blockchain sanctions screening solution.
A production-ready sanctions screening engine typically takes 4-8 weeks from kickoff to deployment. The timeline depends on the complexity of your integration (e.g., wallet, exchange, payment rail), the number of blockchains you need to monitor, and the volume of transactions. We deliver a working MVP within 2-3 weeks for initial validation.
