AML check on Dash

Dash (DASH) is a cryptocurrency with near-instant InstantSend payments and an optional mixing feature, CoinJoin, which is switched off by default in the official wallet.

Address formatStarts with X (standard, 34 characters) or 7 (script) · Base58CheckXGk6c21KG5NChrvmaPne9R9QCjMSLe7yDFExample for illustration, not a real address.
Note

Mainnet Dash addresses start with X (standard) or 7 (script). CoinJoin is opt-in and designed to make transaction history harder to trace, so an AML check on coins that went through it may show a less complete picture.

How to check a Dash address

  1. Get the public addressAsk your counterparty for the address they will send from — or copy it from the incoming transaction.
  2. Pick a service that covers DashChoose one marked “Supported” in the list above. Check that the address starts with X or 7; addresses starting with y are testnet addresses and do not hold real DASH.
  3. Run the check and read itBefore sending DASH to an exchange, confirm on the exchange's own site that it still accepts DASH deposits in your region; OKX, for example, stopped DASH deposits in December 2023.
A real AML check needs only a public address. Never share a seed phrase or private key.

Dash specifics

  • Dash addresses are 34 characters long and begin with an uppercase X.[1]
  • Dash has a second layer of servers called masternodes: each operator must hold 1000 DASH and receives a share of the block reward, plus voting rights on budget proposals.[2]
  • InstantSend uses the masternode network to make payments near-instant; the official docs say InstantSend transactions are fully confirmed within two seconds.[3]
  • CoinJoin (formerly PrivateSend) mixes your coins with other users' coins through masternode-coordinated rounds so that an observer has difficulty tracing transaction history; it is non-custodial, meaning the coins never leave your wallet.[4]
  • CoinJoin is optional: it is disabled by default in the Dash Core wallet and only starts after the user sets the number of rounds and amount and clicks Start CoinJoin.[5]
  • OKX suspended DASH deposits on 27 December 2023, delisted the DASH-BTC and DASH-USDT pairs on 5 January 2024 and suspended DASH withdrawals from 5 March 2024; its notice cited its listing criteria and did not mention privacy.[6]
  • Tether does not list Dash among the blockchains on which USDT is supported.[7]
  • Circle does not list Dash among the blockchains on which USDC is natively available.[8]

FAQ

Is CoinJoin turned on automatically?

No. In the official Dash Core wallet CoinJoin is disabled by default and only starts after you choose the number of rounds and the amount and press Start CoinJoin.

Can I hold USDT or USDC on the Dash network?

Not natively. Neither Tether's list of supported blockchains nor Circle's list of native USDC chains includes Dash.

Can I still deposit DASH on OKX?

According to OKX's own notice, it suspended DASH deposits on 27 December 2023, delisted its DASH trading pairs on 5 January 2024 and suspended withdrawals from 5 March 2024, citing its listing criteria.

How do I check a Dash address for AML risk?

Copy the public address, open one of the services listed above that supports Dash, and run the check. You never need a seed phrase or private key.

What does “Not verified” mean?

The service claims support somewhere — in marketing copy or a third-party page — but its own docs, pricing or FAQ do not list the network. Treat it as unknown.
