Markup of сriminal addresses in analytical systems
How to Stop Fraudsters and Recover Stolen Funds
Marking addresses associated with criminal activity in analytical systems is a crucial step in preventing the further use of stolen funds and increasing the chances of their recovery.
The primary goal of address marking is to alert market participants that a specific address—and any related addresses—are linked to illicit activities. This allows exchanges and payment processors to identify stolen funds, block transactions, and prevent their withdrawal.
For example, in our MS Engine service and Telegram bot, flagged addresses are categorized with labels such as “scam” and “stolen funds”.

The benefits of address marking
1. Enhancing Market Security:
We continuously notify exchanges, payment processors, blockchain explorers, AML services, and other platforms about newly identified criminal addresses. This helps all market participants, regardless of their chosen service, avoid interacting with illicit funds. Our address markings are automatically updated across all EVM-compatible blockchain explorers, providing real-time risk insights to users.
2. Preventing Cash-Out Attempts:
If a malicious actor attempts to convert stolen cryptocurrency into fiat through an exchange or payment service, risk detection mechanisms can flag the transaction, freeze the funds, and escalate the case to law enforcement.
3. Facilitating Asset Recovery:
Once funds are frozen, authorities have a greater chance of confiscating them and returning them to their rightful owners.
By marking illicit addresses, we make cybercriminals' activities visible to the entire crypto community, significantly complicating their ability to exploit stolen funds.
