Chainalysis
Blockchain Data Platform for Crypto Financial Intelligence
Chainalysis is the world's leading blockchain data platform, providing cryptocurrency investigation, compliance, and risk management tools to financial institutions, government agencies, and crypto businesses globally. The company's proprietary data engine maps billions of blockchain addresses to known entities — exchanges, darknet markets, ransomware operators, mixers, and more — enabling real-time risk assessment of crypto transactions. Chainalysis Reactor is used by the FBI, IRS-CI, Europol, and dozens of law enforcement agencies globally to trace illicit funds. KYT (Know Your Transaction) enables crypto businesses and banks to screen transactions for AML risk in real time. With the acquisition of Alterya (AI fraud signal data), Chainalysis is expanding into broader financial crime prevention beyond blockchain analytics.
