About blocklist.fyi

Independent, observational tracking of stablecoin freeze activity - USDT, USDC and USD1 across all major blockchains - for AML research and compliance analytics.

How stablecoin freezing works

USDT (issued by Tether), USDC (issued by Circle), and USD1 (issued by World Liberty Financial) all give their issuer the power to freeze - or “blocklist” - any address holding the token. A frozen address can no longer transfer the stablecoin; the issuer can later unfreeze it, or in the case of USDT, permanently destroy the frozen balance. Freezes typically follow law-enforcement requests, sanctions designations, or the issuer's own investigations into scams, hacks, and laundering.

The freeze is an on-chain transaction. On most EVM networks it is controlled by a multi-signature wallet: one signer proposes the blocklisting, additional signers confirm it, and the final confirmation executesthe freeze on the token contract. That window between proposal and execution - the compliance delay (Δt) - matters: until execution lands, the targeted address can still move funds. On Solana, freezes are single-instruction actions by the mint's freeze authority, so there is no proposal window.

What this site provides
  • A real-time ledger of every blocklisting and unblocklisting we observe, with the frozen balance captured at the moment of the freeze.
  • Per-event detail pages reconstructing the full multi-sig timeline (proposal → signer confirmations → execution) with the elapsed Δt, and the amount of stablecoin that escaped the address during that window.
  • An Intelligence panel on every event: anyone can submit context (shown immediately, labeled unverified); verified intel is published by the site operator with a confidence level.
  • Aggregate statistics broken down by blockchain and asset, a free JSON API (/api/v1), and CSV/JSON exports.
Blockchains covered

The ledger view auto-refreshes every 10 seconds. How often each chain is re-checked at its source varies by data provider - EVM chains every 10s, others up to every 5 minutes. Status shows whether each chain is currently keeping up.
