# Address Screening and Wallet Blocking

<figure><img src="/files/aiQxvH3YyP0xROd4lIP4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Mutuum anticipates leveraging external blockchain intelligence services to prevent interactions from wallets suspected of engaging in illicit activities. These services combine on-chain analytics with real-world investigative data to identify behaviors associated with financial crimes, fraud, or other prohibited conduct. If a wallet is flagged, it may be blocked from accessing Mutuum’s front-end, helping ensure compliance with applicable regulations and maintaining a safe environment for legitimate users.

When users attempt to connect a wallet, Mutuum’s interface sends the wallet address to a proxy endpoint maintained by the protocol’s infrastructure. This endpoint forwards the address directly to the third-party screening service without storing additional user metadata or IP information. The screening platform evaluates whether the address is connected to potentially unlawful or restricted activities. If a high-risk status is detected, the wallet is denied access to the protocol’s user interface.

* **No IP Sharing**: Mutuum does not share user IP addresses with the third-party intelligence provider.
* **No Extra Metadata**: Aside from the wallet address itself, no other personal or transactional data is transmitted.
* **Regulatory Compliance**: By blocking flagged addresses, the protocol aims to align with relevant laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, reducing potential liability and safeguarding user funds against misuse.
