Question 1

How does the Chainalysis Sanctions integration work within B3OS?

Accepted Answer

B3OS uses the Chainalysis Sanctions Screening API to automatically cross-reference blockchain addresses against global sanctions lists like OFAC, EU, and UN. You can trigger this action as part of a larger automated workflow whenever a new transaction or address is detected.

Question 2

What happens if I don't provide a connector for the Chainalysis API?

Accepted Answer

If no specific connector is attached within your B3OS workflow, the system is designed to automatically fall back to the CHAINALYSIS_SANCTIONS_API_KEY environment variable to ensure uninterrupted service.

Question 3

Which sanctions lists are covered by this integration?

Accepted Answer

The integration screens addresses against major international regulatory lists, including OFAC (US), the EU sanctions list, UN sanctions, and other critical global watchlists provided by Chainalysis.

Question 4

Can I automate actions based on the screening results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can build conditional logic in B3OS so that if an address is flagged by the Chainalysis Sanctions API, the workflow can automatically freeze a transaction, alert your compliance team, or block a user account.

Question 5

Is this integration suitable for high-volume crypto exchanges?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. By using B3OS to automate the Chainalysis Sanctions API, exchanges can handle massive transaction volumes with sub-second screening latency, ensuring compliance at scale.
