## 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 tokenguard-sanctions-check-0e9682ae -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the Ethereum address 0x098b716b8aaf21512996dc57eb0615e2383e2f96 is on any OFAC sanctions list before I send funds to it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time OFAC SDN sanctions screening for a specific crypto wallet address as part of a DeFi transaction compliance workflow, AML due diligence, or counterparty risk check. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers when you need structured match data including program names, SDN type, and publication date in a single API call.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found on any list returns sanctioned=false with empty matches array
- Malformed address input may return a validation error
- Network or service downtime may return 5xx errors
- Stale list data if list_published date is outdated
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 micropayment protocol

## How this service works

OFAC SDN sanctions screening for a crypto address or a person/company name. Covers all 963 digital-currency addresses OFAC lists across 19 chains (BTC, ETH, TRX, USDT, SOL, XMR and more) plus 19k sanctioned entities and their aliases. Straight from the US Treasury's own list, refreshed daily.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the queried address, the sanctions list checked (e.g. OFAC SDN), a boolean sanctioned flag, the match type, match count, and an array of matched entities with their names, associated sanction programs, SDN entity type, and linked crypto addresses across chains.
