Question 1

How does the Anyspend and Chainalysis Sanctions integration work?

Accepted Answer

The integration allows Anyspend to automatically trigger Chainalysis Sanctions screening during your automated workflows. It checks blockchain addresses against global sanctions lists to ensure compliance before any funds are moved.

Question 2

Which sanctions lists are covered by this integration?

Accepted Answer

The integration utilizes the Chainalysis Sanctions Screening API to check addresses against major global lists, including OFAC, EU, UN, and other critical international sanctions jurisdictions.

Question 3

What happens if I haven't configured a specific connector?

Accepted Answer

If no specific connector is attached within the Anyspend interface, the system will automatically fall back to using the CHAINALYSIS_SANCTIONS_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate and execute screening requests.

Question 4

Can this integration prevent illicit transactions in real-time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By embedding Chainalysis Sanctions screening into your Anyspend workflows, you can create automated 'stop' or 'flag' actions that prevent transactions to or from sanctioned entities from ever being completed.
