In the Stablecoin Scanner's method: a community-sourced name for an address with recorded provenance; not verified identity.

In the Stablecoin Scanner's methodology, a wallet label is an entry in its label book, an address-attribution catalogue that records where each name and category came from. A name such as an exchange hot wallet says who the community says the address is; the scanner states that this is not identity and not a legal determination. Service categories describe and never accuse, while accusation categories such as mixer, drainer or hack enter an assessment only with two or more independent sources.
