## Compliance and Risk Management: Screening High-Risk Wallets
Premia employs [Elliptic's Holistic Screening](https://www.elliptic.co/solutions/holistic) for compliance and risk management. This technology enables efficient, automated screening of customer activity across multiple blockchains. It identifies high-risk wallets, which are subsequently excluded from the Premia platform. The screening is powered by Elliptic's Nexus engine, capable of tracing crypto-asset flows across all assets and blockchains. This ensures Premia's alignment with global financial crime regulations.
## Premia's Compliance FAQ: Address Screening Guide

If your wallet is blocked and you believe this is an error, contact our compliance team for further review.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.premia.blue/resources/legal/aml-kyc-policies.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
