you use the Circle platform.
Addressing OFAC Sanctions in Wallet Management
You must adhere to the Circle terms of service regarding
OFAC sanctions when managing
wallets. Developers must maintain compliance with these regulations and
understand the potential consequences of violating these terms.
OFAC Sanctions Compliance in Terms of Service
- Developers must ensure that the wallets they create do not transact with
OFAC-sanctioned addresses.
- Violations may result in reporting to OFAC or banning the developer’s account.
Actions Taken for Detected Non-Compliant Transactions
Circle takes the following actions for wallets that send or receive transactions
to or from, respectively, any OFAC-sanctioned address:
- The wallet will be temporarily restricted from making outbound transactions
pending a review.
- The developer should contact Circle Customer Support to move these funds out
to a quarantine wallet properly.
