Live on Cloudflare Workers · Free tier available

Screen counterparties before your AI agent pays them.

ClearAgent checks every counterparty against the OFAC sanctions list before an agent settles a payment — one API call, a verdict in about 80ms, and a full audit trail for every decision. Built for x402.

Your identity provider verifies the human. Payment rails move the money. ClearAgent screens the counterparty when an agent is the one paying.

Why Now

The obligation is now federal law

The GENIUS Act, signed July 18, 2025, is the first federal law treating permitted payment stablecoin issuers as financial institutions subject to the Bank Secrecy Act — sanctions screening, an AML program, and a named compliance officer. Full implementation lands by January 2027.

Volume is compounding faster than manual review can follow

Genuine stablecoin payment volume more than doubled to $390B in 2025, with B2B payments up 733% year-over-year (McKinsey & Artemis Analytics, Feb 2026). That volume needs to clear inline, at machine speed — not sit in a human review queue.

Who It's For

We help companies screen payments before they happen — so you stay compliant and reduce risk.

🤖

AI agent developers

Add a compliance check to your agent's payment flow in one line. Call /v1/screen before settlement, get CLEAR / REVIEW / BLOCK, and never pay a sanctioned counterparty. Works with x402 — pay per call, no contract.

🏦

Fintechs & payment platforms

Embed pre-settlement sanctions screening without building it yourself. Every verdict is explainable and logged, so your program is defensible on exam day. Drop it into the flow between agent intent and settlement.

🛡️

Compliance officers

OFAC screening with an explainable trace of every rule that fired — not a black box. Held transactions route to a REVIEW queue with human-in-the-loop disposition via the reviews endpoint.

How It Works

OFAC screening is the check that fires on every payment — and the one that has to clear first.

That's where we start. One call sits between your agent and settlement — screen the counterparty, get a verdict, keep a durable audit trail. Register once, screen every payment.

Clear

Clean — payment settles

OFAC clear, policy within limits. Audit trail logged automatically.

Review

Held for human approval

Spend policy flag, velocity anomaly, or behavioral trigger. Transaction stays pending until your compliance officer approves or rejects via the review endpoint. No automatic timeout — a human decides.

Block

Stopped pre-settlement

Sanctions hit or hard policy violation. Payment never clears. Operator notified.

Unknown

No credential presented

No credential presented or structurally invalid. Hold transaction.

Under the Hood

Purpose-built for agent payments.

ClearAgent runs on Cloudflare Workers at the edge — no cold starts, no containers, no third-party proxy. OFAC screening, spend policy enforcement, and audit logging execute in the same V8 isolate that handles the HTTP request.

38K+

SDN entities matched in-memory

Full OFAC SDN list synced nightly from US Treasury via GitHub Actions. Re-screened on every API call — not just at onboarding. If a counterparty is sanctioned tonight, they're blocked tomorrow. Exact, substring, Levenshtein, and homoglyph matching catches evasion attempts like "GАRАNTEX".

25

deterministic screening rules

Weighted rule engine with explicit precedence. OFAC hits (weight 35–40) override everything. Credential violations (25–45) next. Spend policy checks (8–15) last. No ML black box — every verdict is explainable and auditable.

2

token auth model

Operator gets a 1-year KYAOperatorCredential. Each agent gets a 90-day KYAAgentCredential (ES256 JWT) with embedded spend limits, allowed chains, and mode (supervised vs. autonomous). Credentials are the policy — no config files, no dashboards to forget.

D1

screening log for audit trail

Every screen writes to Cloudflare D1 — txn_id, verdict, risk score, rule triggered, response time. REVIEW verdicts enter a resolution queue. 90-day API availability. Export monthly to your compliance archive for BSA retention.
