Background in compliance infrastructure and crypto operations. ChainScreen now publishes practical research for small EU crypto firms that need to understand sanctions screening evidence without enterprise-tool noise.

Why ChainScreen exists

MiCA and the EBA Guidelines on Restrictive Measures require every EU CASP to screen blockchain addresses against sanctions lists. OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, UN Consolidated. The lists are public. The screening logic is a lookup. The compliance requirement is clear.

The problem isn't list coverage -- Chainalysis even offers a free binary check against US, EU, and UN lists. The problem is everything else a regulator, auditor, or banking partner needs. Enterprise tools bundle sanctions screening with tracing, monitoring, risk scoring, and cluster analytics into contracts that many small firms neither need nor fully use. And the free tier gives you a binary yes/no without the retained evidence a reviewer actually asks for. What matters is: did you check the address, which lists did you check, and can you prove it later with defensible records?

ChainScreen exists to solve that evidence problem. The main story is audit-ready screening guidance for small EU crypto firms that need proof without enterprise-tool sprawl.

The principle

Sanctions screening is a compliance requirement, not a competitive advantage. Small CASPs should be able to keep a defensible screening process without buying a giant analytics stack. If a regulator needs proof that you screened an address against OFAC, EU, and UN lists before processing a transaction, that proof should be simple, repeatable, and affordable.

What we build

ChainScreen is now a content-only compliance research hub. The guides explain sanctions screening obligations, audit evidence, list-version records, GDPR/data-residency issues, and vendor selection for small EU crypto firms.
