## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: Can you run a risk check on the Bitcoin address bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh and tell me if it's linked to sanctions, ransomware, or laundering activity?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, pay-per-call Bitcoin address risk screening without an account or subscription — ideal for compliance spot-checks, pre-payment due diligence, or AML verification on individual BTC addresses. Prefer it over subscription blockchain analytics services when you need lightweight, occasional screening with no commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Bitcoin address returns an error
- Address not found in intelligence database may return 'no known risk' with empty findings — does not mean address is clean with certainty
- Payment failure (Lightning or USDC) results in 402 response blocking the query
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx errors
- Mainnet-only: testnet addresses are not supported

## How this service works

Bitcoin address risk checks (sanctions, ransomware, laundering patterns), address watch alerts, a live market pulse and a daily whale report. Pay per call with Lightning or USDC - no account.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the queried address, a timestamp (as_of), a risk_level string ('no known risk', 'elevated', 'high', or 'severe'), and a findings array detailing specific risk indicators such as sanctions hits, ransomware ties, or laundering pattern matches.
