## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost name-based sanctions screen against the official U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN list, especially in onboarding, KYC, or vendor due-diligence workflows. Prefer it over wallet-address-based sanctions checks when you have a person or company name but no blockchain address. It is conservative by design (full-name match only) so it minimizes false positives, making it suitable for automated gates where HOLD/STOP should trigger human review.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'name' query parameter returns a 400 error
- Empty string name may return an error or vacuous GO
- Names with unusual characters or transliterations may miss variant-spelled SDN entries
- Only full-name matches trigger STOP — partial overlaps return GO, potentially missing sanctions risk
- API unavailability or OFAC export staleness could affect result accuracy
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) prevents the call from completing

## How this service works

Sanctions screening for NAMES, not wallets. Pass a person or company; get GO / HOLD / STOP against the official U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN export, including a.k.a. aliases. Conservative by design: only a full-name match is a hit. Screening aid, not a compliance determination.

## Output

Returns a verdict of GO (no match found), HOLD (partial or uncertain match warranting review), or STOP (full-name match against an OFAC SDN entry or alias), along with match details such as the matched SDN name or alias. This is a screening aid for compliance workflows, not a definitive legal compliance determination.
