# Trustformer KYT User Guide

## I、Overview of KYT Desk <a href="#yi-web-desk-zong-shu" id="yi-web-desk-zong-shu"></a>

Cryptocurrency over-the-counter (OTC) trading offers anonymity, transparency, and ease of participation without disclosing private information. These features provide significant convenience for asset trading and conversion in various scenarios. However, this openness and anonymity also pose risks, including illegal transactions and compliance challenges. This is especially relevant in the context of anti-money laundering (AML), counter-financing of terrorism (CFT), sanctions against designated entities (SDNs), and FATF (Financial Action Task Force) compliance, which involve financial risks, transactional risks, and asset safety concerns.

With **Trustformer KYT Desk**, you can:

### **1、**&#x4D;onitor Cryptocurrency Transactions

Trustformer KYT helps screen cryptocurrency transaction risks, automatically performing AML/CFT and sanctions checks while detecting fraud and extortion. This enables your transaction, analytics, and compliance teams to focus on critical tasks.

### **2、**&#x57;allet Address Screening

Trustformer KYT evaluates crypto wallet risks related to AML/CFT/FATF and sanctions compliance, offering accurate insights at minimal cost. Understand your counterparties to ensure compliance with regulations and reduce fraud risk.

### **3、**&#x43;ryptocurrency Investigations

Analyze wallet creation details, transaction activities, and their chain connections with visualization features. Identify transaction activities, asset flows, and potential risk factors in OTC trading. Whether actively or passively involved with illicit funds or sanctioned wallets, addresses may become associated with risks, leading to frozen assets, compliance scrutiny, or legal consequences. Trustformer KYT Desk allows background investigations to assess and mitigate these risks, safeguarding wallet credibility, cryptocurrency security, and transactional safety.

**Steps:**

1.1 **Log in to Trustformer KYT Desk**

<figure><img src="/files/BFgpX7DWSGGXUok6UKr2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Visit the **Risk Screening** page.
* Input wallet addresses, transaction hashes, or contract addresses for risk checks.
* Supported blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, TRON, and POLYGON.
* Supported tokens: BTC, ETH, BNB, TRX, MATIC, USDT, and USDC.

**1.1.1 If You Are a Payee**

You can first request your trading partner to provide the payment address and use the **Trustformer KYT** tool to conduct a transaction risk investigation. Obtain the **Trustformer TCR Score** and analyze critical information such as labels, classifications, and sources to decide on the next course of action.

**1.1.1 If You Are the Recipient**

You can first request the transaction partner to provide the payment address. Using the Trustformer KYT tool, you can perform a risk investigation on the address. Obtain the Trustformer TCR Score and evaluate the key information, such as tags, classifications, and sources, to determine your next steps.

**1.1.2 If You Are the Sender**

You can use the Trustformer KYT tool to investigate the transaction risks associated with the recipient’s address. Obtain the Trustformer TCR Score and assess its key information, such as tags, classifications, and sources, to guide your next actions.\
In general, according to the current risk control strategies of both on-platform and off-platform trading venues, passive involvement in high-risk crypto transactions may negatively affect an address’s risk evaluation. In other words, engaging in transactions with high-risk addresses, even passively, could contaminate the address's evaluation in future transactions.

**1.1.3 If You Are a Victim of Fund Freezing**

You can use the Trustformer KYT tool to investigate the risks associated with the address and its transactions. This includes identifying the risk factors of the address or penalties tied to the transaction. Currently, Trustformer KYT supports 43 categories of risk, including AML, CFT, FATF, hacking, fraud, and illegal transactions. Assess the impact of these risk categories to decide your next course of action. For detailed guidance, refer to the data interpretation section on the analysis page.

**1.2 Address Investigation Analysis and Data Details Page**

**1.2.1 Address Details Page**

* **Risky Address Details**:\
  If the investigated wallet address is deemed risky, the page will provide information in three dimensions: Trustformer Insight, Historical Transactions, and Graph Analysis.
* **Trustformer Insight**:\
  This section provides the main results of risk modeling analysis conducted by the Trustformer KYT algorithm. It includes the TCR score, risk types, risk tags, contributing factors, and sources of risk. Additionally, it offers insights into the wallet address's current activity status and macro-level behavioral patterns.\
  Example details include the active main chain, address tags, entity information, balance, last active time, transaction activities, and the wallet’s age.

* **Risk Investigation Focus**:\
  Key aspects to review include the Trustformer TCR score, its contributing factors, and risk sources. A TCR score below 200 indicates a high-risk wallet address.
  * **Risk Tags**: For example, "Direct Risk" and "Sanctions" indicate the address is directly tied to sanctioned events.
  * **Risk Types**: For example, "Blackmail Scam" is one of the 43 risk types currently supported by Trustformer.
  * **Risk Sources**: These include the risk type, contributing factors, traceability, and hierarchical structure, enabling users to identify the risk composition, transmission pathways, and explicit factors causing the risk.
  * **Transaction Risk Direction**: Determine whether the address is the source of risk or a passive participant.
* **Background Investigation**:\
  Focus on the risk types. Different risks, such as financial security and transaction safety, have varying levels of impact. The theoretical framework of the Trustformer KYT model outlines the following severe or high-risk scenarios:
  * Financial regulatory risks, including addresses tagged with SDN, OFAC, Sanction, CFT, or U.S. political blacklists.
  * Involvement in hacking, theft, gambling, pornography, illegal business, darknet transactions, mixing services, or child exploitation. These risks often relate to FATF guidelines and local cryptocurrency travel rules.
  * False financial activities, including fraudulent tokens, scam exchanges, and deceptive contracts, along with their related entities.
  * Addresses subject to public chain governance sanctions or compliant operations per local policies and AML/FATF regulations.
  * Smart contracts flagged for audit risks or reliance on expert security audit services, such as those provided by ChainUP Group.

**1.2.2 High Credit Risk Score Address Details**

For addresses with high TCR scores, the details page includes the public chain information, entity labels, Trustformer TCR score, and insights based on historical transactions and graph relationships. Trustformer KYT determines the address to have no associated risks.
