<p>The last few months at CryptoSwift have been intense in a good way. One of the most exciting developments has been our work on improving the Travel Rule risk score. Here’s What’s New at CryptoSwift.</p>



<p>We’ve shipped a lot. Enough that I had to think twice about whether this should be one blog post or three. But I’ll try to keep it structured and readable.</p>



<p>As always, we build for one reason only: to make CryptoSwift the best and easiest-to-use Travel Rule solution on the market. The one that works when compliance teams and developers need it to.</p>



<p>Let’s start with the biggest one.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-travel-rule-risk-score-real-time-risk-intelligence">Travel Rule Risk Score &#8211; Real-Time Risk Intelligence</h2>



<p>We’ve added a risk score to every incoming and outgoing Travel Rule message. This might sound like a small feature, but it isn’t.</p>



<p>From now on, every Travel Rule message created in CryptoSwift is enriched with a transaction risk score calculated using the AML/KYT providers we already trust internally for VASP and wallet address scoring.</p>



<p>The logic is straightforward:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>For <strong>incoming transactions</strong>, we calculate the risk based on the originator VASP.</li>



<li>For <strong>outgoing transactions</strong>, we use the beneficiary VASP risk score.</li>



<li>If the beneficiary VASP cannot be immediately identified, we fall back to the destination wallet risk score.</li>
</ul>



<p>No guessing or black magic, just structured risk assessment based on real data.</p>



<p>For outgoing transactions, the risk score and severity are returned immediately when the Travel Rule message is created. This makes pre-transaction flows much more powerful.</p>



<p>If you send the Travel Rule message before broadcasting the on-chain transaction, you can now decide:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Do we proceed?</li>



<li>Do we mark this for manual review?</li>



<li>Do we stop it completely?</li>
</ul>



<p>All before funds move.</p>



<p>If you operate in a post-transaction model, the risk score still gives AML officers structured data to assess customer behaviour and keep proper audit trails. It also allows for automation, because no one wants a compliance team manually checking everything in 2026.</p>



<p>For incoming transactions, the risk score is also included in the Travel Rule payload itself. That means you can automate deposit release flows. Low risk? Auto-credit. Higher risk? Escalate. Very high risk? Block and investigate.</p>



<p>The risk score is available via API and inside the Client Dashboard.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-vasp-directory">The VASP Directory</h2>



<p>Compliance teams are constantly interested in the same questions:</p>



<p>Who is this counterparty?<br>Are they regulated?<br>What jurisdictions do they operate in?<br>What’s their risk profile?</p>



<p>To address these questions, we built a proper VASP Directory inside CryptoSwift. It currently contains data on over 12,000 crypto service providers globally. For each VASP, you can see:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Risk score</li>



<li>MiCA compliance status</li>



<li>Countries of registration</li>



<li>Contact information</li>



<li>Whether they are part of the CryptoSwift network</li>
</ul>



<p>But the important part is not the list itself. The directory is deeply integrated with the rest of our platform. When you send or receive a Travel Rule message, originator and beneficiary VASPs are automatically linked. Risk scores connect directly and everything is cross-referenced.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-aml-checks">AML Checks</h2>



<p>On top of the Travel Rule risk score, we added full AML checks for wallet addresses and transactions inside the Client Dashboard.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="758" height="1024" src="https://cryptoswift.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-758x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3856" srcset="https://cryptoswift.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-758x1024.png 758w, https://cryptoswift.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-222x300.png 222w, https://cryptoswift.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-768x1038.png 768w, https://cryptoswift.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-1137x1536.png 1137w, https://cryptoswift.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-1516x2048.png 1516w, https://cryptoswift.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/image-scaled.png 1895w" sizes="(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px" /></figure>



<p>You can bring your own AML provider API key if you already have a contract. Or you can obtain an AML package via CryptoSwift.</p>



<p>Right now, we’re integrated with Scorechain. More providers are being added based on customer demand. If your compliance team prefers a specific vendor, tell us. We’ll integrate it.</p>



<p>The goal is simple: eliminate fragmentation.</p>



<p>You shouldn’t need one system for Travel Rule, another for wallet checks, and a third for VASP data. Everything should work together. In CryptoSwift, it now does.</p>



<p>AML checks link directly with Travel Rule messages and the VASP directory. That means less copy-paste, fewer context switches, and cleaner audit trails.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-wallet-verification-more-flexible-amp-practical">Wallet Verification &#8211; More Flexible &amp; Practical</h2>



<p>We’ve also significantly improved our self-hosted wallet verification widget and API.</p>



<p>This includes support for video files in visual proof flows (yes, sometimes pictures aren’t enough), more customization options, on-chain testing capabilities, and improved multi-chain support.</p>



<p>We strongly believe this is currently the most flexible and developer-friendly self-hosted wallet verification solution on the market.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-dashboard-improvements">Dashboard Improvements</h2>



<p>We’ve continued polishing the Client Dashboard. Clearer layouts, better visibility of transaction risk, improved workflows.</p>



<p>Compliance is already complex, the interface shouldn’t add friction.</p>



<p>Small UX improvements compound over time. Fewer clicks, clearer risk indicators, faster reviews.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-developer-portal-2-0">Developer Portal 2.0</h2>



<p>We also completely revamped our Developer Portal:</p>



<p><a href="https://dev.cryptoswift.eu" data-wpel-link="external" rel="external noopener noreferrer" class="wpel-icon-right">https://dev.cryptoswift.eu<span class="wpel-icon wpel-image wpel-icon-19"></span></a></p>



<p>It’s no longer just technical API documentation. It now includes structured compliance workflow descriptions that help you design Travel Rule flows correctly from day one.</p>



<p>Because the hardest part of Travel Rule implementation isn’t the API call. It’s understanding how to structure compliant flows without ruining user experience.</p>



<p>We’ve documented those patterns clearly so teams don’t have to reinvent them.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-better-partner-support">Better Partner Support</h2>



<p>Finally, we improved documentation and guides specifically for our partners: compliance companies reselling our infrastructure and other Travel Rule networks integrating with us.</p>



<p>Clearer onboarding, better API documentation, faster integrations: we want our partners to succeed.<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-so-much-at-once">Why So Much at Once?</h2>



<p>We’ve been heads down building and prefer shipping working features over announcing roadmaps.</p>



<p>Everything described here has one objective: to make CryptoSwift the best and easiest-to-use Travel Rule infrastructure provider in the market.</p>



<p>➜ Less friction for developers.<br>➜ More control for compliance officers.<br>➜ More automation everywhere.</p>



<p>We’re not slowing down.</p>
