Overview

Sonar automatically screens all wallet addresses to detect exposure to risky activity. As a founder, you configure Risk Groups in the dashboard that determine which wallets are blocked from your sale. Each risk group has:
  • Direct exposure threshold (immediate blocking)
  • Indirect exposure threshold (exposure through transaction hops)
  • Risk categories to screen for

Configuring Risk Groups

In your founder dashboard under “Wallet checks”, you can create multiple risk groups with different thresholds:

Example Risk Group Configuration

Group 1: Sanctions & Terrorism
  • $10 direct - $500 indirect
  • Categories: sanctioned entity, sanctioned jurisdiction, child abuse material, special measures, terrorist financing, ransomware
Group 2: Seized Funds
  • $10 direct - $1000 indirect
  • Categories: seized funds
Group 3: Stolen Funds
  • $10 direct - $50000 indirect
  • Categories: stolen funds

Simulation & Testing

The dashboard has a Simulation panel with:
  • Overall inclusion rate (e.g., 95.99%)
  • Breakdown by risk group showing block percentages
  • Biggest impact categories for each group
This helps you understand how restrictive your current settings are before going live.

Additional Features

High Volume Exposure Filter
  • Automatically increases indirect thresholds to 5% when wallet volume exceeds $500M
  • Helps avoid blocking legitimate high-volume traders
Manual Overrides
  • Contact support to allowlist specific addresses
  • Useful for treasury addresses, known partners
  • Bypasses all automated screening

  2. Navigate to “Wallet checks” in your sale settings
  3. Add risk groups with appropriate thresholds
  4. Review the simulation to check impact
