NEXT-GENERATION BLOCKCHAIN ANALYTICS FOR EFFICIENT CROSS-CHAIN COMPLIANCE

10 August, 2022
 * Blockchain Analytics




ELLIPTIC

HERE WE DISCUSS CRYPTOASSET COMPLIANCE, BLOCKCHAIN ANALYSIS, FINANCIAL CRIME,
SANCTIONS REGULATION, AND HOW ELLIPTIC SUPPORTS OUR CRYPTO BUSINESS AND
FINANCIAL SERVICES CUSTOMERS WITH SOLUTIONS.

 * Elliptic is launching Holistic Screening - enabling, for the first time,
   proceeds of crime to be automatically traced across and between all
   blockchains and cryptoassets concurrently, to provide a holistic view of
   risk.
   
   
 * Holistic Screening provides new capabilities such as multi-asset screening,
   cross-asset tracing and cross-chain tracing  - revealing risk that
   first-generation blockchain analytics cannot detect.
   
   
 * Holistic Screening is powered by Nexus, Elliptic’s new blockchain analytics
   engine, which allows complex, manual cross-chain investigations to be
   replaced by API calls and automated risk-scoring - driving greater efficiency
   within blockchain compliance teams.



Elliptic pioneered crypto compliance in 2015, with the launch of Elliptic AML,
the world’s first Bitcoin transaction screening tool. It eliminated the
complexities of blockchain analytics by providing compliance professionals with
a single, actionable risk score. Since then we have expanded our offering,
providing a comprehensive suite of crypto compliance solutions with the broadest
coverage of cryptoassets and blockchains available on the market.

But the way in which cryptoassets are used has shifted dramatically in recent
years. Individual cryptoassets and blockchains are no longer isolated systems,
but have become part of the larger, interconnected crypto-economy. This has been
accelerated by new technologies such as decentralized exchanges and cross-chain
bridges, which have removed many of the barriers between assets, allowing the
free flow of capital and making crypto more useful and valuable.

As well as a force for good, this interconnectivity is being exploited for
criminal purposes. As revealed in new Elliptic research published today,
hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptoassets from ransomware and North Korean
cyber activity are being moved through cross-chain bridges. Decentralized
exchanges are being exploited to evade the seizure of billions of dollars in
stolen assets, and “coinswap” services in Russia and elsewhere are being used
for money laundering and sanctions evasion.

In order to combat this “cross-chain crime”, Elliptic has developed the next
generation of blockchain analytics - known as Holistic Screening - which allows
cryptoassets to be traced across and between all blockchains and assets
concurrently. This is achieved automatically and in milliseconds through our
APIs, allowing businesses to screen customer activity at scale, and drive
efficient and effective compliance.

Holistic screening goes far beyond current “cross-chain” analytics solutions
available today, and encompasses additional key capabilities:

 * Multi-Asset Screening

When considering the risk profile of a crypto wallet, all of its transactions
are analyzed, whatever the cryptoasset.



 * Cross-Asset Tracing

When tracing flows of funds to determine their ultimate source or destination,
they continue to be tracked even when there is a change of asset within the same
blockchain- for example when a decentralized exchange is used to swap one asset
for another.



 * Cross-Chain Tracing

Fund flows are traced even when they “hop” between chains - for example through
cross-chain bridges.



Holistic Screening is powered by Nexus, our new blockchain analytics engine.
Nexus has been developed over the past three years, specifically to solve the
problem of how to automatically and rapidly trace cryptoasset flows across and
between all assets and blockchains. First-generation blockchain analytics treats
each cryptoasset and blockchain as a separate silo - even though they are all
part of the same financial system and proceeds of crime are moving freely
between them. Time-consuming manual investigations have been necessary to bridge
the resulting capability gaps.

Nexus takes our industry-leading data for each cryptoasset and blockchain, and
merges them into a single financial network, representing the entire cryptoasset
ecosystem. This provides a unified view of value flows across all major
blockchains and cryptoassets - consisting of hundreds of billions of datapoints
collected over the past decade.

Elliptic’s solutions now enable cross-chain compliance at scale. Holistic
Screening eliminates the need for manual cross-chain investigations, instead
providing actionable risk scores at the click of a button.

dedicated Holistic Screening page.
