AMLBot on Responsible Use and Compliance Safeguards

At AMLBot, our mission has always been clear: to democratize access to compliance tools and promote crypto hygiene across the digital asset ecosystem. Since our launch, we’ve empowered individuals and businesses alike to make informed decisions about the origins of crypto assets—whether receiving or sending—helping foster a safer and more transparent crypto environment.

On Responsible Use of Compliance Tools

Recently, there has been increased attention around how blockchain compliance tools might be misused by certain actors within the crypto ecosystem. These concerns are not new, and they highlight the dual challenge facing every compliance provider: ensuring accessibility for good actors while preventing exploitation by those with malicious intent.

AMLBot was founded on the belief that transparency and accountability are essential to the future of blockchain—and that includes a firm commitment to preventing illicit use. We are fully aligned with this mission and take a zero-tolerance approach to any misuse of our platform.

Our solution was initially made accessible to the broader public to fulfill its founding purpose—giving genuine users the tools to self-audit, identify red flags, and act responsibly in a space often lacking transparency. However, we also recognize the risks that come with open access.

Proactive Measures to Prevent Potential Abuse

To mitigate potential misuse of our technology, AMLBot has introduced multiple layers of protection, including:

• Different Access Tiers: We have implemented distinct access tiers with stricter verification and onboarding processes for business users. This ensures that only legitimate, verified entities have access to the full capabilities of our service.

Built-In Protections Through Ongoing Risk Updates

Our product and investigations teams continuously refine platform behavior in response to emerging risk patterns—helping the system stay aligned with evolving compliance standards and threat landscapes. These proactive updates enhance the reliability of AMLBot while preserving trust and ethical use across all user types.

Tailored Risk Score for Personal Use: To ensure our tools remain accessible to genuine users while preventing potential misuse, AMLBot offers simplified mods for individual users. They provide a streamlined version of the Risk Score, showing only high-level insights without exposing sensitive compliance data.

A Call for Industry-Wide Accountability

As AMLBot’s success and impact have grown, so too has the number of platforms emulating our model. Services like Scorechain’s AMLBot and BitOK have emerged without implementing basic KYC requirements or access safeguards, making them significantly more vulnerable to abuse.

AMLBot urges our peers to adopt stronger compliance measures and take proactive responsibility for how their tools are used. While we initially prioritized open access to support transparency for all users, our evolving understanding of risk led us to implement verification tiers and usage controls to prevent abuse. Security and compliance must become foundational elements of any serious compliance solution.

Our Commitment

We remain steadfast in our commitment to compliance, transparency, and innovation. AMLBot’s Team continues to collaborate with law enforcement, regulators, and industry peers to identify bad actors and help bring them to justice. In fact, AMLBot helps law enforcement agencies with actionable intelligence to help identify and pursue bad actors by providing its blockchain forensic tools, while also assisting victims of hacks, scams, and fraud through our dedicated Investigations Team. By tracing stolen assets and uncovering illicit flows, AMLBot contributes directly to both justice efforts and victim recovery.

AMLBot will continue to evolve and stay one step ahead of those who seek to misuse technology, all while empowering the honest majority of crypto users to engage in this space with confidence and clarity.
