By (SSC) - Scorechain Stellar Compliance
Brings KYT to Stellar so builders and institutions can trace risk, ensure compliance, and grow adoption with Scorechain’s AML engine.
This submission will integrate Stellar as a fully supported blockchain in the Scorechain KYT platform. It will enable:
Risk Scoring: Stellar addresses and transactions will receive real-time AML risk scores based on origin, destination, and behavioral patterns, helping users assess counterparty risk at scale.(Our KYT engine includes a poisoning detection feature to identify low-value attack transactions used to pollute wallet histories — this will be extended to Stellar if applicable.)
Know Your Transaction/Know Your Address Reports: Users will generate downloadable reports for Stellar addresses and transactions to support regulatory audits, internal reviews, or investigations.
Transaction Monitoring System (TMS): Stellar flows will be monitored using 350+ configurable rules (jurisdiction, phishing, high-risk indicators), allowing automated compliance workflows via Scorechain’s no-code rule engine.
Exploration Tool & Flux Analysis: Stellar data will be integrated into our investigation interface, allowing users to trace flows between entities, identify counterparties, and visualize risk exposure over time through interactive graph views.
Telegram Bot Integration: Stellar checks will be available in our Telegram bot, enabling fast, user-friendly compliance checks for B2C and small teams.
QuickNode Integration : We’ve launched a Scorechain add-on on the QuickNode Marketplace to deliver risk scoring for other chains. This model will be extended to Stellar, offering developers direct API access to scoring features within their existing infrastructure.
All features will be available via Scorechain’s UI and API, and operate on Stellar mainnet only. To support the ecosystem, we will offer free Stellar KYT access to 10 selected builders, including up to 120,000 checks for one year.

Success will be measured through both adoption metrics and ecosystem outcomes:
10 builders onboarded through the free Stellar KYT grant program, each with up to 120,000 checks for 1 year.
100+ Stellar addresses checked per month via the Telegram bot — showing accessibility for smaller players and NGOs.
20 clients enabling Stellar monitoring through our API or platform.
Makes Stellar a more attractive choice for regulated entities, unlocking real-world adoption in payments, tokenization, and DeFi.
Improves network transparency and safety by surfacing scam, phishing, and sanctioned activity through automated scoring.
Gives Stellar builders access to compliance tooling
Expands Stellar’s credibility with partners, by matching compliance expectations across major chains.
Continued support beyond the grant period: Stellar will remain integrated in Scorechain’s commercial and public products.
Risk data will be updated and maintained as part of our existing coverage roadmap.
Builder feedback loops (via onboarding calls, Telegram bot usage, and support interactions) will guide future feature refinement.
We will target two core audiences:
(1) Stellar-native builders (DeFi apps, tokenized asset projects, wallets), and
(2) regulated institutions looking to explore Stellar for payments, custody, or token issuance under MiCA.
Our go-to-market strategy includes:
Launch campaign in Month 3 via Stellar community channels (Discord, forum, newsletter) with a dedicated landing page to capture interest and applications from builders.
Free Stellar KYT access for 10 selected builders, including 120,000 checks per project for one year — with support from our customer success team to help onboard and integrate.
Partnership outreach to existing Scorechain clients (350+), including banks, custodians, and fintechs already using our platform and likely to expand into Stellar.
Community engagement via:
A webinar co-hosted with Stellar ecosystem teams (if possible)
Twitter live events
Outreach to previous SCF grantees and dev communities
Shared use cases on how to use KYT
Telegram bot integration for Stellar — designed to serve smaller builders, NGOs, and compliance-light teams with instant risk checks. Stellar scoring will also be communicated to our 1,500+ existing bot users via broadcast messages, helping raise awareness and encourage early adoption.
Scorechain serves over 350 customers in 59 countries, including exchanges, custodians, fintechs, and major financial institutions. Our platform now provides full coverage for 19 blockchains and lite support for 90+, with continuous rollout of new integrations.
We support institutions like CACEIS (Crédit Agricole Group) and DZ Bank in delivering compliant crypto services. Clients rely on Scorechain for real-time AML risk scoring, KYT/KYA reporting, and automated transaction monitoring with over 350 configurable rules.
Our product stack includes:
Over 13 million identified blockchain addresses
Over 350,000 labeled entities with risk classifications
A real-time Transaction Monitoring System (TMS) with 350+ configurable rules
A Telegram bot for instant compliance checks
A free MetaMask Snap for in-wallet KYT scoring
A QuickNode Marketplace add-on, offering risk scoring for wallets and transactions across major chains — ready to expand to Stellar
A Poisoning Detection algorithm that flags malicious low-value transactions meant to pollute wallets or obfuscate origin
99.9%+ uptime across services
All features are accessible via API, enabling integration into third-party systems, dashboards, and internal tools
To provide additional context on usage: although Stellar is not yet officially supported in Scorechain’s platform, we’ve observed that 20 companies have already attempted to perform Stellar KYT scoring using our API and tools. These scoring attempts resulted in no output, as Stellar isn’t yet integrated — but they clearly indicate real and unsolicited interest in monitoring Stellar addresses.
In total, over 44,000 Stellar-related scoring calls have been made to our platform, showing that users are actively exploring Stellar as a chain to monitor. This demand reinforces the relevance of the integration and validates the need from our existing client base and prospects.

Brief description:
Synchronize Stellar blockchain data, populate Scorechain’s internal database with normalized transactions and accounts, and label known entities using Scorechain’s risk methodology. This includes setting up infrastructure, preparing the foundation for scoring and monitoring, and ingesting entity data from trusted public directories** such as stellar.expert and stellarchain.io/accounts/directory to accelerate identification of well-known accounts.
How to measure completion:
Stellar node is synced; internal database includes normalized Stellar data; public account directories have been ingested and reconciled; entity labels and risk levels are live in the backend. Internal query tests return expected results.
Estimated date of completion:
Month 1
Budget:
$30,000
Brief description:
Develop and deploy API endpoints for Stellar-based KYT/KYA reports, address scoring, transaction details, and entity insights. This phase connects Stellar data to Scorechain’s internal engine and ensures public API exposure for partners and clients. Particular attention will be given to Stellar-specific requirements, including address format validation, support for unique operation types (such as asset issuance, trustlines, and path payments), and accurate handling of multi-asset flows.
How to measure completion:
All Stellar-specific endpoints are tested and return valid results, including correct handling of operation types and edge cases. Address validation logic is implemented. API documentation is updated, and endpoints are ready for client-facing usage.
Estimated date of completion:
Month 2
Budget:
$30,000
Brief description:
Deploy Stellar integration into Scorechain’s main SaaS platform, Telegram bot and Quicknode including frontend display, search features, report generation, Transaction monitoring system. Run full QA and UX testing across interfaces.
How to measure completion:
Stellar is accessible in production across all Scorechain user interfaces (SaaS & Telegram). Internal QA and customer-facing test cases are validated.
Estimated date of completion:
Month 3
Budget:
$25,000
