Identify the unknown faster with Signals

Gain unprecedented insight into unidentified crypto addresses – helping you surface hidden threats, mitigate risks, and take action faster.

More blockchain activity. More unknowns.

As crypto activity accelerates, so does the volume of blockchain addresses investigators must assess. Signals cuts through the noise by applying a new layer of blockchain intelligence – categorizing previously unidentified addresses based on what they appear to be doing on-chain. From suspected scams and mixers to wallet apps like MetaMask and Samourai, Signals delivers the context investigators need to act faster and with greater clarity.

Surface hidden threats faster

Signals uncovers intelligence on previously unidentified addresses — classifying them by suspected activity type or end-user wallet. These insights generate early leads, help mitigate risk, and support investigative hypotheses ahead of evidence-based attributions.

Prioritize what’s important

Each Signal includes a clear label and confidence rating, helping you quickly assess relevance, focus on high-risk activity, and triage cases more efficiently.

Built differently. Backed by expertise.

Unlike surface-level pattern matching, Signals combines on-chain data with heuristics developed from years of investigative experience – understanding how entities behave, who they interact with, and the techniques they use.

This expertise-driven approach is exclusive to Chainalysis and delivers unique intelligence that can give investigators a headstart in progressing complex cases.

Government investigations

Agencies can quickly identify wallets potentially linked to high-priority threats such as fraud, darknet markets, and child exploitation. Signals helps generate leads faster, support active inquiries, and validate investigative hypotheses.

Better customer protection

Private institutions can identify high-risk activity, including suspected scams and self-custody wallet behavior tied to fraud. This helps reduce risk, protect users, and strengthen customer trust.
