What is Entity Label?

The named real-world entity controlling a cluster of addresses. Differs from Address Label by scope: an Address Label names one address; an Entity Label names the operator of an entire cluster (e.g. "Binance", "Coinbase", "Foundry USA").

How to read this. A label maps an on-chain address to a named real-world entity — an exchange, a sanctioned party, a scam operation. Labels are what turn a raw transfer into a readable statement like coins moved to an exchange. Without them, every flow classification on this site would be guesswork.

Where the labels come from. Every label carries its source and an authority tier. Tier 1 is deterministic: the OFAC SDN list, signed exchange proof-of-reserves files, and seizure records. Below that sit block-explorer labels and curated entries. Heuristic guesses are stored separately and are never presented as facts.

What this number does not mean. Do not read the total as broad coverage. 98.4% of all active labels come from a single exchange's published proof-of-reserves file. That makes coverage very deep for that one entity and thin everywhere else — most major exchanges publish no address-level proof at all, so they are simply absent. A high label count is not the same as knowing who owns the chain.
