Overview
Chainalysis is a blockchain analytics platform covering sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and investigation tooling across major chains and assets. The company was founded in 2014.
It is used to screen wallet addresses against the OFAC SDN list, monitor exchange deposits and withdrawals, score counterparty risk, and trace the flow of funds. Address attribution is probabilistic and derived from clustering and labelling, so risk scores are inputs to a decision rather than determinations.
