How do we define sanctions data?
Sanctioned entities refer to entities listed on economic/trade embargo lists, such as by the US, EU, or UN, with which anyone subject to those jurisdictions is prohibited from dealing. Currently, this includes the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list of the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
You can search the full list of OFAC Specially Designated Nationals in OFAC’s sanctions database.
How do I know which solution is right for my company?
The Chainalysis Sanctions API is a RESTful API that returns information for all crypto addresses on the SDN list, whereas the Chainalysis Sanctions Screening oracle is an on-chain smart contract that checks only against sanctioned Ethereum/EVM addresses. Additionally, the API returns other information provided by OFAC about sanctioned addresses, including a property’s name, description, and URL.
