Telegram OTC Desk 44 is a unlicensed p2p incorporated in Russia, assessed at 69/100 (medium risk) from a desk review of 31/100 and an on-chain review of 100/100. Licence status is unlicensed with none evidence (no identified regulator), MiCA not authorised, KYC rigour none, Travel Rule absent. The largest single deduction is 24 points for counterparty controls: non-custodial protocol: no customer identification, Travel Rule or monitoring programme is possible. 1 clustered wallet(s) moved $0 in the reviewed window, of which $0 (0.00%) touched categories of severity 5 or above and 0.00% touched severity 8 or above. No identified licence; onboarding requires senior sign-off and ongoing monitoring.

Combined score weights the desk review at 45% and the on-chain review at 55%, because chain evidence is observed while the regulatory file is asserted.

What this assessment rests on

45% of the score is a desk review of the regulatory file. Licence status, controls and monitoring maturity are asserted in the directory record rather than observed on chain, and no attribution measurement grades them. This directory record is a demonstration entry, so the paperwork it describes belongs to no real business.

55% of the score is the on-chain review of 1 of 1 clustered address(es), which moved no counterparty value in the reviewed window. That half therefore reflects an absence of observed exposure, not traffic that was examined and found clean.

The attribution figure covers the on-chain review only. There is no single coverage percentage for this score, because the desk review half is not measured over counterparty value.
