About
What it answers, and for whom.
Tether and Circle can freeze the USDT and USDC held at any address: their token contracts keep a blacklist, and a listed address can no longer send the token. This dashboard checks whether an address is on either list on each covered chain, and tracks how many addresses the issuers freeze each month and how much stablecoin is locked at them.
Every freeze is an event in the issuer's contract, such as AddedBlackList on USDT or Blacklisted on USDC, so the history is complete and exact. Tether can also destroy a frozen balance, which removes it from supply and appears as its own event. Each figure links to the event, its block and the balance read at that block.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Freezes and unfreezes come from the issuers' admin events: AddedBlackList, RemovedBlackList and DestroyedBlackFunds on USDT, Blacklisted and UnBlacklisted on USDC, with their equivalents on each covered chain.
- The frozen balance is the address's balanceOf at the block of each freeze; the locked total re-reads every still-frozen address at the latest day-end block.
- An address check calls isBlackListed(address) on USDT and isBlacklisted(address) on USDC at the latest block of each chain, so the answer is the contract's own.
- Destroyed funds are the balances burned by DestroyedBlackFunds events, kept apart from balances that stay frozen.

Questions
Questions people ask.
How do I check if my address is blacklisted by Tether?
Paste the address into the check: it calls the USDT contract's isBlackListed function, and USDC's isBlacklisted, at the latest block on each covered chain. The result is the contract's own answer, with the block and the call shown as its receipt.
Why does Tether freeze addresses?
Tether freezes addresses linked to hacks, scams, sanctions and law-enforcement requests. The contract records only that an address was frozen, not why; a reason appears here only where Tether or an authority stated it publicly.
Can a blacklisted USDT address still receive tokens?
On Ethereum, the original USDT contract checks only the sender, so a blacklisted address can still receive USDT it cannot move. USDC checks both sides, so a blacklisted address can neither send nor receive. Other deployments can differ, so the check reads each contract's own state on each chain.
What happens to frozen USDT?
Frozen USDT stays at the address until Tether removes the address from the blacklist or destroys the balance. A destroyed balance is burned from the supply; any later reissue to a rightful owner shows as a separate issuance on-chain.
Can Circle freeze USDC?
Yes. USDC's contract gives Circle a blacklister role that can block an address, after which it can neither send nor receive USDC on that chain. Each block is a Blacklisted event, and a later UnBlacklisted event lifts it.
- Blacklist
- A list kept in a stablecoin's contract of addresses that may no longer send the token; the issuer adds and removes entries.
- DestroyedBlackFunds
- The USDT event emitted when Tether burns the balance of a blacklisted address, removing it from supply.
- Freeze authority
- On Solana, the token permission that lets an issuer freeze any account holding its token.
