Build a Crypto Travel Rule and AML Compliance Agent with Claude Agents SDK

Crypto-to-fiat banking access requires continuous monitoring of Travel Rule disclosures and counterparty VASP risk profiles. Build a Claude Agents SDK multi-step agent with extended thinking capabilities to audit VASP risk posture, evaluate transaction metadata, and flag suspicious mixing patterns. Achieve fully explainable AML risk scoring with structured compliance audit outputs.

What you are building

Construct an autonomous AML investigation agent using the Claude Agents SDK with extended thinking to audit Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) communications and compliance risk.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates the agent's ability to trace counterparty VASPs and identify missing Travel Rule originator info.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

verdict_enum_test

Ensures compliance_verdict matches allowable standard status strings

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

audit_accuracy

Accuracy in correctly identifying Travel Rule violations • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

  • Build a multi-turn autonomous investigation agent using the Claude Agents SDK

  • Utilize extended thinking features to analyze complex multi-hop crypto transaction graphs

  • Parse FATF Travel Rule messaging (IVMS 101) data across counterparties

  • Generate detailed AML risk assessment reports for bank compliance officers

Resources

Dataset notes

Dataset of 300 VASP cross-border transaction transfers containing complete and incomplete IVMS 101 Travel Rule records.

Challenge setup

Evaluates the agent's ability to trace counterparty VASPs and identify missing Travel Rule originator info.

Challenge input

JSON with transfer_id, vasp_did, ivms101_payload, and onchain_tx_hash

Claude Agents SDK

Provides extended thinking mode for complex multi-step forensic reasoning.
