Stiftung Ethereum is a custodian incorporated in Switzerland, assessed at 96/100 (low risk) from a desk review of 97/100 and an on-chain review of 96/100. Licence status is licensed with verified evidence (Switzerland prudential regulator), MiCA transitional, KYC rigour strict, Travel Rule ready. The largest single deduction is 3 points for mica status: MiCA transitional. 1 clustered wallet(s) moved $1,005,661,876 in the reviewed window, of which $0 (0.00%) touched categories of severity 5 or above and 0.00% touched severity 8 or above. Licensed, supervised and Travel Rule capable; standard measures apply.

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.

55% of the score is the on-chain review of 1 of 1 clustered address(es). 91.3% of the value those wallets moved resolves to an identified counterparty (sufficient attribution), and the risk composition and illicit-share figures are computed over the same traffic.

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.

Attribution coverage 91.3%

91% of traced value resolves to an identified counterparty, so the score covers most of what moved.

Measured over the counterparties of the screened clustered wallets. It grades the on-chain half of the score only, not the desk review.

21 of 143 counterparties (14.7%) resolve to an identified entity. Unattributed exposure is penalised: the 'unknown' category carries a 4.0-point penalty at full exposure, reached at a 60% share. A wallet with mostly unidentified counterparties loses points for that. A clean-looking score still cannot auto-clear below the sufficient attribution floor.

ScoreGuard reports are a point-in-time assessment produced from public blockchain data and a seeded label set. Unlabelled counterparties are left unknown; they are not assigned a guessed risk category. Labels marked 'synthetic' in the seed are demonstration entities and must not be used as the sole basis for a compliance decision.
Token-contract labels name contracts, not wallet owners.
Demonstration data was excluded — 118 synthetic entities were not scored.
Activity beyond the stated screen window is not in the score.
