## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ofac-sdn-evm-address-sanctions-checker-d8076596
```

Example prompt: Before I send USDC to 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045, can you check whether that address is on the OFAC SDN sanctions list?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.005 USDC) first-pass OFAC compliance screen for EVM addresses before executing or receiving a crypto payment. It is purpose-built for blockchain addresses on EVM-compatible chains and is refreshed daily, making it suitable for pre-transaction screening workflows. Prefer this over general-purpose compliance APIs when working with Base, Ethereum, or other EVM chain addresses and when a lightweight, pay-per-call model is preferred over a subscription compliance service.

## Known failure modes

- 503 returned if OFAC data has not been refreshed within 96 hours — treat as data unavailable, not as a clean result
- Invalid or non-EVM address format may return an error or empty match
- Address with no matches returns sanctionnee: false and empty correspondances array
- Network timeouts or upstream data source failures may cause intermittent errors

## How this service works

Is this address on the US sanctions list? Checks an EVM address for an exact match on the OFAC SDN list of digital currency addresses; informational only, not legal advice, and returns 503 if the data is older than 96 h ($0.005 per call).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the OFAC list name, the queried address, the date of the list, a boolean 'sanctionnee' indicating whether the address is sanctioned, and a 'correspondances' array listing any matches found. Returns HTTP 503 if the underlying sanctions data is older than 96 hours.
