Freeze questions

Paste the address on the homepage. It reads the Tether and Circle contracts directly, so you get the contract's own answer — free, and without an account.

The balance stays visible and stops moving; the contract refuses every transfer out. It can still receive, so anything sent to it afterwards is stuck too.

On TRON a freeze needs two signatures and the first one is public. Across 853 wallets the gap was a median of 17 minutes — but 23% were frozen within a minute, so a median is not a promise.

Measured 06 September 2026 against confirmed on-chain freezes.

Sometimes, and fast. Of 779,678 wallets that dealt with one before it froze, 1,349 were frozen too — median gap 123 seconds, because freezes arrive in batches rather than one at a time.

A population figure, not a prediction about any wallet.

Yes — the same two-signature process in reverse. In practice it follows a legal process, not a support request.

Not by any technical route: the refusal is written into the contract, and anyone charging a fee to unfreeze a wallet is stealing from you. The real path is a lawyer and the agency behind the action.

USDT on TRON (7,733 recorded addresses) and Ethereum (3,277), and USDC on Ethereum. The OFAC list we carry spans 8 chains, including Bitcoin and XRP.

No — checking is free and unlimited. What we sell is watching a wallet around the clock and telling you the moment a freeze proposal appears against it.

Check the sending address, not just the amount. A wallet that is clean now can be frozen an hour later if it has been dealing with wallets that are already flagged.
