Alpha AML: real-time crypto AML and KYT that stops a transfer before it lands
Most AML tools tell you a wallet was dirty after the money has already arrived. Alpha AML screens the transaction on-chain in about two and a half seconds and rejects it before it settles, through a perimeter of buffered wallets.
What it is
- An on-chain screening service for crypto transactions, sold both to businesses through an API and SDK and to individuals through a wallet checker.
- Three products. KYT for secure transfers, where funds move through a perimeter of buffered wallets and suspicious transfers are rejected before they settle. Wallet Checker, a risk score and source-of-funds report for any address. Behavioural pattern analysis for scam and laundering activity.
- Three ways to integrate: a backend API call, an SDK that runs a pre-send check inside a wallet or app, and an audited smart contract that routes transfers on-chain.
- Five networks supported: Ethereum, Tron, Arbitrum, Base and BNB Chain.
- The KYT SDK is published openly and installs from npm as
@alpha-aml/kyt-sdk, with a free trial period of up to three months. - The stated differentiator is enforcement rather than reporting. Competing tools score a counterparty and report; Alpha AML also executes the transfer and blocks it if the check fails.

Risks and open questions
This is an early-stage company in a category with much larger incumbents. These are the questions that decide whether it works. Get them answered in writing.
- Founded in 2025, so the operating history is short and the revenue base is small. Almost all of the case rests on execution still ahead.
- The category is crowded and well funded. Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs and Crystal are established incumbents with enterprise procurement relationships already in place, and compliance buyers switch slowly.
- The core differentiator means funds move through Alpha AML controlled buffered wallets. That puts the company inside the payment flow. Ask about custody arrangements, key management, insurance, segregation of client funds and what happens if a buffered wallet is compromised.
- A security audit covers a defined scope at a point in time. Ask for the CertiK report itself and check what was in scope, what was not, and whether findings were remediated.
- Screening accuracy is the whole product. Ask for false-positive and false-negative rates, the benchmark methodology behind them, and who verified the result.
- The live counters and data-depth figures come from the company’s own instrumentation and are not independently audited.
- Sitting inside a payment flow and serving customers across jurisdictions can trigger licensing requirements. Ask which licences the UAE entity holds, which it does not, and which markets it can legally serve today.
- A small number of business clients means revenue concentration. Ask how much of revenue the largest customer represents and whether contracts are signed or in trial.
- The company materials include a feature comparison against named competitors. That comparison is the company’s own assessment, is not independent, and should be checked against each competitor’s current product.
- Any minority position in a private early-stage company is illiquid, and the materials do not state governance or minority protection terms.
