## What is Risk API?

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) mandates that Virtual Asset Service Providers must conduct customer due diligence to ensure compliance. Blockscope's Risk API enables web3 businesses to execute customer due diligence without spending hours of engineering time. Simply ping the endpoint a wallet address and Risk API returns every risk-associated label as well as an overall risk score. From there the protocol can admit or reject that actor from participating in their protocol based on their compliance needs. With over 50 million labels and counting, you can start collecting customer due diligence in under 5 minutes.
