The Global Ledger Score is a number from 0 to 100 that shows the degree of risk: low, medium, and high. Each score is represented by a corresponding color: green indicates low risk, yellow indicates medium risk, and red — high risk. The risk score is derived from the assessment of the riskiness of sources contributing to a requested address or transaction.

To calculate the score, the algorithm analyzes incoming transactions, assesses the risk of identified sources, and calculates a score on a scale from 0 to 100. This score provides an indication of the potential level of risk associated with the address or transaction based on the evaluated sources and their associated activities. Learn more about risk score calculation from our blog article.

The GL Score assesses four risk inputs for each address or transaction:

• Entity risk — the risk rating of the entity controlling the address (exchange, service, sanctioned account holder, etc.).
• Source of funds risk — where the funds originate, traced through incoming transactions.
• Use of funds risk — where the funds are sent, traced through outgoing transactions.
• Address risk — risk inherited from the address's own connections.

When tracing funds, the algorithm follows the flow until it reaches a stopping point — an entity, smart contract, or unhosted wallet. If none is found, it steps back through earlier transactions; the number of steps is called depth. Higher-risk sources carry greater weight, and sanctioned entities trigger a high score even on minimal exposure.

The final result is a score from 0 to 100:

• 0–29 — Low (green)
• 30–69 — Medium (yellow)
• 70–100 — High (red)
