Question 1

How does the Chainalysis Sanctions integration work within Nest?

Accepted Answer

Nest connects to the Chainalysis Sanctions Screening API, allowing you to trigger automated screening actions as part of your blockchain workflows. When an address is flagged, Nest can execute predefined logic to pause transactions or alert your compliance team.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

If no specific connector is attached to your Nest workflow, the system automatically falls back to using the CHAINALYSIS_SANCTIONS_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate your requests.

Question 3

Which sanctions lists are covered by the Chainalysis Sanctions API?

Accepted Answer

The integration provides access to comprehensive global data, including OFAC, EU, UN, and other major international sanctions lists, ensuring high-fidelity compliance monitoring.

Question 4

Can I automate transaction freezes based on screening results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By combining Chainalysis Sanctions with Nest's workflow automation, you can create conditional logic that automatically halts transfers or flags suspicious wallet addresses the moment they appear on a sanctions list.
