Frequently asked questions

The following is general information and may become outdated as rules and markets change. This is not legal, tax, or investment advice.

1. 1. What is the Tether official blacklist?

   The Tether blacklist is an on-chain frozen-address list maintained by USDT issuer Tether Limited. Blacklisted addresses typically cannot transfer USDT out. Tether may freeze addresses when cooperating with law enforcement or when fraud is suspected. Rules are defined by Tether; this answer is general information only, not legal advice.

2. 2. Can a frozen USDT address still receive transfers?

   Technically inbound transfers may still arrive, but frozen addresses often cannot send normally and may carry compliance and counterparty risk. Whether you should continue trading is your decision; consult professionals if needed. This tool does not guarantee real-time or complete on-chain state.

3. 3. Why might OTC USDT receipts trigger an exchange account freeze?

   Some exchanges risk-check fund sources. If funds are linked to high-risk addresses or suspicious paths, reviews or restrictions may follow. Policies differ by platform. This is a general description, not a statement about any specific institution.

4. 4. How do I judge whether a USDT address is “safe”?

   Combine official blacklist status, platform requirements, counterparty identity, and on-chain behavior. No single tool can prove “absolute safety.” This site only aggregates some public data; conclusions are for reference.

5. 5. What is the difference between TRC20 and ERC20 USDT addresses?

   They are USDT on different networks. TRC20 is on TRON (addresses usually start with T). ERC20 is on Ethereum and other EVM chains (0x addresses). This tool supports TRON address risk reports, plus USDT/USDC balance and recent transfer lookup on Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain.

6. 6. What should I do if I received problematic USDT?

   Contact your exchange or legal counsel promptly and keep transfer and communication records. Do not trust strangers offering “unfreeze” services. This tool does not provide recovery or legal services.

7. 7. Why might the same address show slightly different results at different times?

   Data sources have latency, rate limits, and API changes. This site caches results for a short period (e.g. about one hour) to reduce API load. What you see may lag behind the live chain—verify with official channels and latest on-chain data.

8. 8. Does “no risk found” mean the address is safe?

   Not necessarily. Risks may be missing due to delays, incomplete coverage, or events not yet recorded. “No risk found” is not the same as “absolutely safe.” Use other due diligence and read the site disclaimer.

9. 9. What are the risks of mixer addresses?

   Mixers are often used to obscure fund flows and can increase compliance and counterparty scrutiny. Whether use is unlawful depends on jurisdiction and facts. This is general risk information, not a compliance determination.
