Chainalysis

Blockchain compliance and investigations platform used by law enforcement, exchanges and regulators, not an investing tool.

Visit Chainalysis Alternatives

Chainalysis is a blockchain data platform built for compliance, fraud investigation and law enforcement rather than trading or research. Its Reactor product traces the flow of funds across blockchains to support investigations, KYT (Know Your Transaction) provides real-time transaction monitoring for exchanges and financial institutions to flag sanctioned or illicit addresses, and its address-screening and risk-scoring tools support anti-money-laundering compliance programs. It also offers fraud-detection and web3-security products through its Alterya and Hexagate acquisitions. It serves exchanges, banks, regulators, tax agencies and law enforcement agencies rather than individual or institutional investors, and is included here to distinguish compliance/investigations tooling from investing-focused on-chain analytics like Dune or Glassnode.
