How this service works
Use immediately before an autonomous agent pays an EVM wallet. Checks the destination for an exact identifier match in current official OFAC SDN and Consolidated data, then returns STOP or NO_EXACT_MATCH, freshness, and a signed-evidence upgrade path. Exact-match only; not a complete wallet-risk score, sanctions clearance, or legal advice.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a `decision` field (e.g. NO_EXACT_OFAC_MATCH_FOUND), a timestamp of when the check was performed, a unique `request_id`, the count of any matches found, which lists were checked (SDN, CONSOLIDATED), the age in seconds of the underlying sanctions source data, and a `premium_evidence_path` pointing to the deeper exact-identifier evidence endpoint for follow-up investigation if needed.
Example use cases
Pre-payment sanctions screening for crypto
“I'm about to send 500 USDC to a vendor called Golden Star Imports — can you do a fast OFAC preflight check on them to make sure they're not sanctioned before I approve the transaction?”
Customer onboarding compliance check
“We're onboarding a new business partner called Meridian Resources Ltd — run an OFAC preflight screen against the SDN and Consolidated lists so I know if we have any compliance exposure before signing the contract.”
Automated agent payment safety gate
“My agent is about to pay an invoice to a new contractor named Viktor Sorokin — quickly screen that name against OFAC sanctions lists and tell me whether it's safe to proceed or if I need to escalate for a deeper review.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://evidence.regulavita.com/v1/ofac/payment-preflightWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.01) OFAC sanctions pre-check before executing a payment or onboarding a counterparty, and you don't yet need full evidentiary-grade screening. It is ideal as a first-pass gate in autonomous agent payment workflows where speed and per-call micropayment economics matter. If the preflight returns any match or you need court-admissible evidence, follow the returned `premium_evidence_path` for the deeper exact-identifier check.
Side effects
- Stale source data if OFAC list refresh is delayed — reflected in high source_age_seconds
- False negatives possible on preflight; only exact or near-exact matches are flagged — use premium evidence path for definitive screening
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.01 per-call fee
- Network timeout if the OFAC data source is temporarily unavailable
- Ambiguous entity names (common names, no jurisdiction) may return low-confidence results requiring the deeper evidence endpoint
