AML check on Monad

Monad is an Ethereum-compatible layer 1 launched in November 2025 whose addresses look exactly like Ethereum's, so check that your AML tool actually scans Monad.

Address format0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters (EVM) · chain ID 1430xc857a5dbc4e987cf462f02e8f3cd2041b6f84329Example for illustration, not a real address.
Note

The same 0x address can have different funds and history on Monad (chain ID 143) than on Ethereum, so a clean Ethereum result says nothing about Monad activity. Transactions are final in under a second, so screen an address before you send, not after.

How to check a Monad 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 MonadChoose one marked “Supported” in the list above. Make sure your checker lists Monad specifically; an Ethereum-only scan of the same 0x address does not cover its Monad history.
  3. Run the check and read itThe official MON airdrop claim window closed on 3 November 2025, so treat new 'claim', 'refund' or 'recovery' links from ads or DMs with suspicion.
A real AML check needs only a public address. Never share a seed phrase or private key.

Monad specifics

  • Monad's public mainnet launched on 24 November 2025.[1]
  • Monad mainnet uses chain ID 143, its native currency is MON, and the official docs list MonadVision and Monadscan as block explorers.[2]
  • New Monad blocks arrive about every 300 milliseconds and are final after two blocks (about 600 ms), after which they cannot be reversed; after one block a transaction is only 'speculatively' final and can, rarely, still revert.[3]
  • Monad processes many transactions at the same time instead of one by one, then checks for clashes and re-runs any affected transaction, so the final result is the same as if they had run in order, as on Ethereum.[4]
  • MON started with a total supply of 100 billion tokens and is used mainly to pay transaction fees and for staking to secure the network; 3.3% of the initial supply was allocated to an airdrop.[5]
  • Monad says its official airdrop claim portal (claim.monad.xyz, open 14 October to 3 November 2025) geo-blocked Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk and Luhansk and screened claimer wallets against sanctions designations using Chainalysis technology; 76,021 wallets claimed about 3.33B MON.[6]

Common risks on Monad

FAQ

Is a Monad address the same as an Ethereum address?

It looks the same: Monad uses Ethereum's address format (0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters). But Monad (chain ID 143) keeps its own separate balances and transaction history, so you need a checker that scans Monad specifically.

Is there native USDT or USDC on Monad?

Circle lists Monad among the chains with native USDC (contract 0x754704Bc059F8C67012fEd69BC8A327a5aafb603). As of 4 October 2026, Tether's own supported-protocols page does not list Monad. The USDT0 website lists Monad as a supported network; USDT0 is operated by Everdawn Labs Limited rather than listed by Tether as a native USDT chain.

How quickly is a Monad transaction final?

Monad's docs say blocks arrive about every 300 ms and are final after two blocks (about 600 ms), after which they cannot be reversed. That leaves almost no time to stop a payment, so check the address first.

How do I check a Monad address for AML risk?

Copy the public address, open one of the services listed above that supports Monad, 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.
