Entity Database
ChainHint maintains an entity database across 12 chains, sourced from authoritative public datasets and refreshed nightly. Every figure below is counted in the database itself — these were read on 1 November 2026; none of them is written into this page.
| 48,331,030 | attributed addresses — rows of public.addresses that carry an entity |
| 61,597,173 | addresses indexed — every row of public.addresses, attributed or not, including contract names, ENS names and DEX pools that carry no entity |
| 3,801,555 | exchange addresses — addresses of exchange-category entities whose attribution is not unconfirmed |
| 483,800 | addresses linked to illicit activity — addresses of entities in categories mixer/hacker/darknet/scam, excluding the Forta heuristic detector and the Tornado Cash pool-interaction labels |
Sanctions, by the question being asked
“How many sanctions sources do you have?” has more than one true answer, and they are different sizes. Each of these is counted separately, so neither stands in for the other. The list table on /docs/compliance reads the same database as you open it.
| How many addresses carry an active sanctions designation? | 1,064 |
| How many authorities designated them? | 5 |
| How many wallet addresses do the lists themselves publish? | 1,144 |
| How many of those lists publish addresses at all? | 3 |
| How many lists do we screen a name against? | 3 |
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| CategorySanctions | What it coversOFAC SDN (U.S. Treasury, public domain), EU and UN measures (DG Trésor — Registre national des gels, Licence Ouverte v2.0), and other government lists (via OpenSanctions, CC BY-NC 4.0) — sanctioned wallets across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON. |
| CategoryThreat intelligence | What it coversRansomware address feeds, phishing-drainer blacklists, and the Lazarus / Bybit-hack laundering cluster. |
| CategoryOn-chain freezes | What it coversAddresses frozen on-chain by the token issuer (Tether USDT-TRC20 blacklist). |
| CategoryExchanges & services | What it coversNamed exchange, mixer, and service wallets — from community label sets, public account tags, and curated deposit-wallet lists across major chains. |
| CategoryDeFi & contracts | What it coversProtocol treasuries and deployers (DeFiLlama), token contracts (ethereum-lists), DEX and Curve pool contracts, and institutional Safe multisigs. |
| CategoryGovernance | What it coversDAO governance and treasury wallets (Snapshot, Tally). |
| CategoryCourt records | What it coversAddresses printed in US federal court filings — CourtListener / RECAP (public domain) and DOJ press-release attachments (17 U.S.C. §105). Each row records that a named document prints the address, with the quote and the docket reference; it asserts no role and moves no risk score. |
| CategoryResearch datasets | What it coversBitcoin address-behaviour categories from the peer-reviewed BABD-13 dataset (Xiang et al., IEEE TIFS 2024), used with the authors' permission. |
| CategoryOn-chain analytics | What it coversBroad address labelling across EVM chains from public blockchain-analytics datasets. |
We publish the categories of data we draw on, not a per-source breakdown. Totals are shown above; counts by source and the ingestion pipeline are internal.

Sanctions data is sourced from public government lists. Addresses are screened against OFAC SDN, EU (via FR DG Trésor), France DG Trésor, UK Sanctions List, Japan MOF, Australia DFAT (Japan MOF and Australia DFAT are a snapshot taken on Apr 3, 2026, not a live sync). Names are screened against the subjects of the lists we hold in full, the UK Sanctions List among them. All other datasets are used under their respective open-source or public-domain licenses.
