# Wallet Risk Screening

> Configure risk groups with direct and indirect exposure thresholds to control wallet eligibility.

## 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

## Setting Up Risk Groups

1. **Access your founder dashboard** for your sale
2. **Navigate to "Wallet checks"** in your sale settings
3. **Add risk groups** with appropriate thresholds
4. **Review the simulation** to check impact
