Free Wallet Risk Score Tool from FailSafe!

Every day, $6.4 million in crypto gets stolen. Before you send funds to any address—whether it’s a new DeFi protocol, an OTC counterparty, or a wallet you found on Discord—you need to know: is this crypto address safe?

Most blockchain risk tools cost $500-10,000/month. Chainalysis Reactor runs $10K per seat. TRM Labs requires an enterprise contract. CertiK’s Skynet is paywalled.

FailSafe Radar changes that. It’s a free crypto address risk check that aggregates intelligence from multiple sources to give you an instant wallet risk score.

What Is a Wallet Risk Score?

A wallet risk score is a numerical assessment (typically 0-100) that indicates how likely an address is to be associated with illicit activity. The score factors in:

• Sanctions status – Is the address on OFAC, EU, or UN sanctions lists?
• Blacklist status – Has Tether or Circle frozen this address?
• Historical activity – Has it interacted with known hacks, scams, or mixers?
• Entity identification – Is it a known exchange, fund, or threat actor?
• Behavioral patterns – Does transaction history match money laundering typologies?

A high-risk score (70+) means proceed with extreme caution. A low-risk score (under 30) suggests the address is likely legitimate.

How to Check If a Crypto Address Is Safe

Step 1: Get the Address

Copy the full address you want to verify. FailSafe Radar supports:

• Ethereum/EVM (0x…) – ETH, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism
• Bitcoin (1…, 3…, bc1…)
• Solana (base58 addresses)
• Tron (T…)

Step 2: Run a Free Risk Check

Using FailSafe Radar, you can check any address in seconds:

Address: 0x1234...
Risk Score: 23/100 (LOW RISK)
Recommendation: PROCEED
Flags:
- Sanctioned: No
- Blacklisted: No
- Threat Actor: No
Entity: Unknown individual wallet
Labels: DeFi user, Uniswap trader

Step 3: Investigate Further (If Needed)

For addresses flagged as medium or high risk, Radar provides:

• Risk details – Specific reasons for the score (mixer usage, darknet links, etc.)
• Entity intelligence – Known associations with exchanges, funds, or criminal groups
• Transaction history – Recent transfers and counterparties
• Full report URL – Detailed breakdown for compliance documentation

Real-World Use Cases

DeFi Protocol Due Diligence

Before aping into a new yield farm, check the deployer address:

Protocol: ShadyYield Finance
Deployer: 0xabc123...
Risk Score: 87/100 (HIGH RISK)
Flags:
- Previous rug pull association
- Funds traced to Tornado Cash
- New wallet (created 2 days ago)
Recommendation: AVOID

That 2000% APY suddenly looks less attractive.

OTC Trade Verification

Before sending $50K to an OTC counterparty you met on Telegram:

Counterparty Wallet: 0xdef456...
Risk Score: 12/100 (MINIMAL RISK)
Entity: Identified as Wintermute trading desk
Labels: Market maker, high-volume trader
History: 50,000+ transactions, active since 2020
Recommendation: PROCEED

Track Stolen Cryptocurrency

If you’ve been hacked, Radar helps trace where funds went:

Attacker Address: 0x789...
Risk Score: 94/100 (CRITICAL)
Flags:
- Linked to 3 previous exploits
- $2.3M in stolen funds traced
- Active mixer usage detected
Counterparties:
- Binance deposit address (potential recovery)
- Tornado Cash (likely unrecoverable)
- Unknown CEX (investigation needed)

This is blockchain forensics that previously required a $10K/month Chainalysis subscription—now free.

How FailSafe Radar Works

Radar aggregates intelligence from multiple sources:

By combining these sources, Radar provides a more complete picture than any single tool.

Batch Screening for Compliance Teams

Need to check multiple addresses? Radar (Enterprise subscription) supports batch processing:

Addresses checked: 25
Results:
- Low risk: 18
- Medium risk: 5
- High risk: 2
High-risk addresses:
1. 0xaaa... - Tornado Cash interaction
2. 0xbbb... - Sanctions list match (OFAC)

Export results as CSV for your compliance records.

When to Use Wallet Risk Scoring

Free vs. Paid Blockchain Risk Tools

Blockchain Intelligence API for Developers

Building a wallet, exchange, or DeFi app? Integrate risk scoring directly:

import requests
def check_address_risk(address: str) -> dict:
    """Free crypto address risk check via FailSafe Radar API"""
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.failsafe.com/radar/v3/risk",
        json={"address": address}
    )
    return response.json()
# Example usage
result = check_address_risk("0x1234...")
print(f"Risk Score: {result['score']}/100")
print(f"Recommendation: {result['recommendation']}")

The blockchain intelligence API returns:

• Risk score (0-100)
• Risk level (MINIMAL, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL)
• Specific flags (sanctioned, blacklisted, threat_actor)
• Entity identification
• Recommended action

Common Questions

Is this really free?

Yes. FailSafe Radar offers free address risk checks. We believe basic security shouldn’t be paywalled when billions get stolen annually. On top of that, we offer an enterprise plan for companies that take risk and compliance seriously, and need a more sophisticated product.

How accurate is the risk score?

Radar aggregates data from 10+ intelligence sources and layered with an agentic decision engine. No single source catches everything—combining them significantly reduces false negatives. Our detection rate exceeds 95% for known threat actors.

What chains are supported?

Currently: Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Bitcoin, Solana, Tron and many more!

Can I use this for compliance?

Yes. Radar is used by exchanges, OTC desks, and DeFi protocols for KYT (Know Your Transaction) compliance. Export reports for audit trails.
