# Screen an address in Ospree Blockchain Analytics

This process involves selecting the blockchain network, specifying whether the wallet is self-hosted, and choosing a provider for in-depth analysis.

### How to screen an address

#### Enter the address

* In the **Blockchain Analytics** module, enter the wallet address in the **Screen a wallet address** search bar.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select chain

* Choose the appropriate blockchain network associated with the address.
* Available options include:
  * **Bitcoin**
  * **Ethereum**
  * **Polygon**
  * **Tron**
  * **Solana**
  * And other supported networks, such as **Litecoin**, **Polkadot**, **Xdc**, **Stellar**, and more.
* Click on the relevant chain to proceed.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Is the wallet self-hosted?

* Indicate whether the wallet is self-hosted or managed by a third-party provider.
* Select **Yes** if the wallet is self-hosted (e.g., personal cold storage).
* Select **No** if the wallet is managed by a custodian or exchange.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select provider

* Choose a provider for the screening process.&#x20;
* Click on the desired provider to proceed.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Start screening

<div align="left" data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="https://4249894339-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FQg7OS46Jha8pRGgGDSDo%2Fuploads%2FOVKS0VcG2dHAch9zoDKG%2FScreen%20an%20address%203.png?alt=media&amp;token=c85045ca-2a63-4d2c-8506-0b8e43e2d47e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* After selecting the chain, wallet type, and provider, the screening process begins.
* A loading screen appears with the message:\
  **"This process may take over 60 seconds, depending on the volume of data."**
* Wait for the analysis to complete. The duration depends on the blockchain network's transaction volume and data complexity.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### View results

Once screening is complete, Ospree displays detailed results, including:

* **Risk Score**: A numeric and color-coded risk level.
* **Transaction History**: Details of past transactions associated with the address.
* **Counterparty Analysis**: Risk assessment of counterparties linked to the address.
* **Behavioral Patterns**: Analysis of transaction patterns and behaviors.
