Merkle Science review
Verdict. A blockchain analytics company whose Compass platform screens addresses, transactions and customers against your own risk rules, through a web app or an API, and returns a risk level with the counterparties behind it and a PDF report. Its API docs give full exposure screening on 24 of the networks we track, including 9 of our 10 core ones (no TON), and sanctions-only checks on about 40 more. It is sold to businesses on request, so it is not scored.
Why it is not scored yet
Our score needs a published price, a confirmed network list and a documented report format. Missing for Merkle Science: no published price. Below is how it would do on each criterion with what we could verify.
Missing: no published price, no free check, subscription terms not stated and price list not public.
9 of the 10 core networks are confirmed in its own docs: Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana, Litecoin and XRP Ledger.
Breakdown by risk category, PDF report and transaction-hash checks. Missing: numeric risk score not verified.
Operator named (Stackseer Technologies Pte. Ltd.) and says it uses its own attribution data.
No wallet connection — you only paste an address. Missing: account required for the first check.
Available via API and Web.
Pros
- Public API docs with a blockchain table: full screening on 9 of our 10 core networks, plus Base, Avalanche, Solana, Sui and others
- Address, transaction and customer screening, each with a downloadable PDF report
- Shows the counterparties behind a result (exchange, DeFi and other entity types, direct or indirect)
- Named operator: a Singapore company under Singapore law, with a US subsidiary
Cons
- Business contracts only: no self-serve check for individuals
- No public prices; its free Compass offer does not state its terms
- Risk levels follow rules you set; no numeric score is published
- Many networks get sanctions screening only (“Lite Coverage”), and TON is not listed
Prices
Supported networks
From the blockchain table in its Compass API docs (updated April 2026). Networks marked “Full Coverage” get exposure screening and a risk level; those marked “Lite Coverage” get sanctions screening only, so we show them as partial. No TON. “Not verified” = claimed outside its docs; “Not supported” = not listed anywhere we looked.

Is Merkle Science legit? Official links and fakes
Merkle Science is run by a named company: Stackseer Technologies Pte. Ltd., Singapore (company no. 201837740N, per its terms of service; the site footer names its subsidiary Merkle Science Americas Inc. in Brooklyn, New York). Our scam vetting of 13 Oct 2026 — operator, regulator lists, security reports, complaints and whether it asks for a wallet connection — found no reports of fraud. Status at our automatic check of 4 Nov 2026: working. The real service only needs a public address — anything asking for a seed phrase, a wallet connection or a signature is fake.

FAQ
Can an individual check a wallet with Merkle Science?
Not on a self-serve basis. Compass, Tracker and KYBB are sold to businesses after a demo request, and its pages publish no prices.
Which networks does Merkle Science Compass cover?
Its API docs list Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana, Litecoin, XRP, Base and others with full coverage. About 40 more, such as Monero, Cosmos and Aptos, have “Lite Coverage”, which the docs say means sanctions screening only. TON is not listed.
What does a Merkle Science result look like?
Its API returns a risk level — Critical, High, Medium, Caution or Info — set by the most severe of your own risk rules that fired, together with the entities the address sent to or received from. Each screening can be downloaded as a PDF report.
Does Merkle Science ask for a seed phrase?
It should not, and a real AML check never needs one — only a public address. Any bot or site using this name that asks for a seed phrase or a wallet connection is fake.
Can Merkle Science guarantee my exchange won’t freeze funds?
No service can. Exchanges and stablecoin issuers use their own data and rules. A low score lowers the risk; it is not a guarantee.
