🚨 Complete list of ‘black addresses’ that exchanges must freeze. As long as your personal wallet address has conducted transactions with the following addresses, the exchange will freeze your account upon deposit.
⚠️ Let me educate everyone about cautionary behaviors on the chain.
1️⃣ Sanctioned and terrorism-related wallet addresses: Usually based on sanctions and anti-terrorism lists published by international and national authorities, as well as high-trust risk intelligence provided by law enforcement agencies and professional blockchain analysis organizations. Any institution that comes into contact with this category of funds faces significant legal, regulatory, and reputational risks.
2️⃣ Wallet addresses related to illegal activities: Refers to entities, individuals, or addresses associated with various known or highly suspicious illegal activities, including theft, malware activities, phishing scams, criminal organizations, Ponzi schemes, extortion, known criminals, credit card data trafficking, ransomware activities, and various types of fraud.
3️⃣ Mixing service-related wallet addresses: Mixers concentrate, split, and redistribute assets from different sources, severing or weakening traceable connections between funds, resulting in highly anonymous transaction paths, making it one of the riskiest methods. For example, mixing services like Tornado Cash are often used to handle high-risk funds such as those from hacker theft, fraud, and sanction evasion.
4️⃣ Dark web market-related wallet addresses: Dark web markets operate within the 'dark web', a network deliberately hidden and not directly accessible through conventional web browsers, often requiring specialized anonymous tools. They are commonly used for illegal services, including drugs, malware, and illegal data, with transactions often conducted using virtual assets, creating highly covert and difficult-to-trace financial flows.
5️⃣ Terrorism financing-related wallet addresses: Refers to any entity or behavior associated with the funding, transfer, management, or support of terrorist activities or organizations. These are typically highly covert and often operate through multilayer transfers, anonymous tools, or informal channels, aiming to evade regulatory scrutiny and detection by law enforcement agencies, classified as extremely high-risk in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing systems.
6️⃣ Privacy protocol-related wallet addresses: Refers to protocols or entities that employ privacy-enhancing technologies. Although such technologies can enhance user transaction privacy and data protection levels, they may also reduce transaction transparency, obscure transaction paths and counterparty addresses, thus increasing the risk of funds flowing in difficult-to-trace ways. Engaging in transactions with addresses related to privacy protocols can easily lead to contamination.
7️⃣ Malicious address-related wallet addresses: Refers to blockchain addresses that have been confirmed to be directly involved in various malicious or illegal activities, including but not limited to DeFi protocol attackers and centralized exchange hacker-related addresses. Such addresses are typically highly correlated with illegal acquisition, transfer, or money laundering activities, classified as high-risk or severe risk categories, requiring immediate and strict risk control measures.
8️⃣ Gambling and other high-risk industries: Gambling-related businesses and entities are often recognized as high-risk industries due to frequent capital flows, hidden transaction purposes, and significant cross-border characteristics, making them susceptible to concealing sources of funds or engaging in money laundering activities. Strengthened due diligence, continuous monitoring, and corresponding risk control measures must be implemented under anti-money laundering and on-chain risk monitoring frameworks.
