PublicAML review
Verdict. Free, no account, and it checks both addresses and transaction hashes on the four networks where most USDT moves. The trade-off: its legal pages name no operator, and its methodology describes data sources only by type (sanctions lists, issuers, vendor labels, community reports), not by provider — so treat it as a quick first look, not proof for an exchange.
How the score adds up
Six criteria, weighted as published in our methodology. Each note lists what we could and could not verify.
A free check is available, free checks, no subscription needed and full price list is public.
4 of the 10 core networks are confirmed in its own docs: Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON and BNB Chain.
Numeric risk score, breakdown by risk category and transaction-hash checks. Missing: PDF report not verified.
Missing: operator not named and data sources not disclosed.
No wallet connection — you only paste an address and no account for the first check.
Available via Web, Telegram and API.

Who runs it
Named only on its press page: PublicAML Foundation, which it describes as a non-profit based in Denver, Colorado. Its terms and privacy policy name no legal entity. Without an entity in its terms, nobody is clearly accountable for the report. Its data sources are not disclosed.
Is PublicAML legit? Official links and fakes
PublicAML’s operator is named only on its press page, not in its terms. 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. We still add a “use with care” note: see the top of this review. 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
Is PublicAML really free?
Its USDT checker says “Free · No account required”. Usage limits are not published.
Who runs PublicAML?
Its press page names PublicAML Foundation, which it describes as a non-profit based in Denver, Colorado, and its founder. Its terms and privacy policy name no legal entity, so we do not count the operator as identified.
Does PublicAML 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 PublicAML 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.
