- The seven-day Base window counts 442,419 settlements, but 43% pass all screens; individual flags can overlap.
Field notes
The dashboard reads settlement data directly from Base and reports a rolling seven-day window, with payer and payee wallet screening. Its listed exclusions include merchant-funded buyers, concentrated buyers, circular flows, self-payments, dust, and transfers reaching known exchange wallets within 30 minutes. The page says a payment passing these checks only lacks those red flags; it does not establish that an AI agent made the payment. Individual flag totals can overlap.
