Chainalysis to add ‘blockchain intelligence‘ agents to platform

The analytics platform said it would begin rolling out the agents over the summer for use in investigations and compliance.

Chainalysis is introducing blockchain intelligence agents which the analytics platform expects will provide investigative skills to users seeking AI solutions.

In a Tuesday announcement at the Chainalysis Links conference in New York City, the company said the “blockchain intelligence agents” differ from typical AI tools based on language models, likening them to an “experienced analyst working at machine speed.”

The company expects to phase in the agents this summer in an effort for companies to scale their approach to cryptocurrencies.

“We’re starting where we know we can have the most impact: investigations and compliance,” co-founder and CEO Jonathan Levin wrote on the company’s blog. “As bad actors increasingly leverage AI to scale their operations, it’s critical that those working to stop them do the same.”

The company’s move follows a similar one by TRM Labs, which last week launched “AI investigative assistants” for users looking to trace funds, run audits and conduct investigations for crypto-related crimes.

Chainalysis said it had already used the AI agents in early development for similar investigations and intelligence gathering.
