    Some Wallet Screening requests failed or experienced degraded performance between approximately 3:01pm and 3:42pm CDT on 1 September 2026. Affected requests included address screening and related risk and attribution lookups. The issue has been mitigated, and error rates returned to normal at approximately 3:42pm CDT.

    We have isolated the issue to database saturation that caused supporting queries to exceed their timeout threshold. We are continuing to monitor the service and will provide another update on root cause.
