Chainalysis has been preparing for the spread of AI for many years, while also addressing blockchain-specific elements such as the increase in Layer 2, rollups, and the growth of Layer 1 networks like Solana.
The product discussions at Links NYC 2025 centered around these themes and discussed how Chainalysis is currently equipping customers to mitigate the impact of blockchain-based and AI-related crimes.
- Increase in AI-Driven Fraud: Last year, fraud significantly boosted by generative AI led to an estimated $12.5 billion in crypto assets being lost.
- Increase in Hacking and Damage: This year alone, the Bybit hacking has resulted in approximately $1.5 billion in losses, and 2025 is expected to far exceed last year's total theft ($2.2 billion).
- Increasing Complexity of Investigations and Cross-Chain Activities through Bridges: Cases are becoming more complex as bad actors develop more sophisticated money laundering methods by using cross-chain swaps and mixers to obscure funds.
The regulatory environment continues to evolve, driving the expansion of crypto assets and changing how traditional financial institutions engage with them. To address many trends in this ecosystem, Chainalysis is proud to upgrade its portfolio not only by enhancing investigation and compliance offerings but also by introducing new crime prevention features. These innovations will primarily revolve around two themes:
- Simpler, Faster, and Smarter Blockchain Investigations: Significant improvements to existing investigation and compliance product lines will make tracking illegal activities easier, more efficient, and in real-time.
- Proactive Prevention: Through recently acquired Alterya and Hexagate, they will identify and block bad actors before they attack by detecting signs of illegal activities (similar domains, fake IDs and social media profiles, abnormal transaction patterns, suspicious contracts, etc.).
Product Enhancements to Accelerate and Simplify Investigation and Compliance Work
- The next-generation investigation tool "Reactor" delivers ultra-high performance, unparalleled flexibility, and instant clarity. The new design visualization simplifies complex operations, making it easier to track fund flows on-chain and share investigation results.
The latest release of Reactor provides the following features:
- Ultra-high-speed processing and the ability to easily manipulate very large graphs
- Display transactions across all assets in one place
- Ability to isolate individual transactions
- Custom off-chain objects
- Automatic graph layout
- They also introduced "Rapid", the first AI-powered crypto asset triage tool developed for law enforcement. Rapid provides immediate insights through AI that can be interpreted without crypto asset expertise, offering clear explanations and next steps for rapid response.
- Furthermore, the new compliance dashboard helps compliance teams understand the patterns behind alerts, identify their origin, and fine-tune policies and risk rules to achieve more effective operations.
New Chainalysis Product Suite
- Chainalysis Data Solutions (DS) is the newest product in the Chainalysis portfolio and the first of its kind, designed for proactive threat intelligence and workflow automation. With advanced visualization capabilities and automated analysis workflows, customers can gain deep insights into specific threat categories and threat actors of interest. Chainalysis DS helps customers address major issues by comprehensively understanding illicit activities and patterns, monitoring specific types of activities, prioritizing leads, and narrowing down to the most impactful cases.
- Alterya debuted at Links. An AI-powered advanced fraud detection service that identifies fraudsters before they target victims, protecting over 100 million customers and monitoring more than $8 billion in transactions monthly. Alterya identifies fraudsters from massive datasets, preventing customers from sending funds to fraudulent accounts and blocking money laundering activities.
- Hexagate is a new core prevention product from Chainalysis that uses machine learning to defend against on-chain threats in real-time. Hexagate ensures Web3 security for protocols, blockchains, asset managers, and exchanges, having protected over $50 billion in funds. At Links, they announced transaction signing workflow features to support customer wallet security.
The innovative technologies announced at Links NYC 2025 demonstrate Chainalysis's commitment to expanding its product lineup to meet the evolving needs of the crypto asset ecosystem. From real-time fraud and hacking prevention by Alterya and Hexagate to customization and automation of alerts through Chainalysis DS, and enabling faster, simpler, and smarter investigations, these additional features and enhancements allow our customers to comprehensively address on-chain illicit activities.
