About this source

OpenSanctions is a research project that consolidates sanctions and politically-exposed-persons lists from jurisdictions worldwide: U.S. OFAC, EU consolidated, UN, UK, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Japan, and many others. We ingest the BTC-applicable subset of their consolidated targets feed. Where an address appears on multiple jurisdiction lists, the OpenSanctions row carries the union of programs.

How we got the data

Pulled from data.opensanctions.org as targets.simple.csv. BTC-applicable rows extracted, per-row sanction program preserved in metadata.

Why this confidence

Authoritative. Each entry reproduces a primary-source government sanctions designation. We carry it at full confidence. Where OFAC and OpenSanctions both name the same address (commonly), the corroboration shows up on the address page as two independent sources agreeing.

License & attribution

OpenSanctions data is published under CC-BY-NC for research use. We use it for compliance lookups on the public site, with full attribution.
