Frequently Asked Questions

Blockchain analytics is a complex, new field. We aim to make it as approachable and understandable as possible.

1.
Why do we need blockchain analytics?

Blockchain analytics are essential because they enable regulatory compliance by tracking cryptocurrency transactions to prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and fraud. These tools also enhance security by identifying vulnerabilities in blockchain protocols and smart contracts, and they help in fraud prevention by detecting suspicious transactions in real-time. Additionally, blockchain analytics aid in tax compliance, investigations, and asset recovery, making them crucial for maintaining transparency, security, and adherence to regulations within the cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem.

2.
How are you different from other investigation software?

Blockpliance does not offer investigation software - which is in nature a reactive approach to dealing with problems; rather it focuses on source and use of wealth tools to proactively aid compliance team in identifying potential units of risk and preventing institutions from servicing bad actors.

3.
How do you collect your attribution data?

Our team collects attribution data for crypto addresses through a combination of methods, including access to exchange and wallet data, on-chain analysis, address clustering, public information sources, KYC data, collaboration with law enforcement, specialized tools, dark web monitoring, and tracking scams. These techniques allow Blockpliance to associate cryptocurrency addresses with real-world entities and identify transaction patterns, aiding in compliance, security, and fraud prevention. However, full attribution may not always be possible due to the pseudonymous nature of cryptocurrencies and privacy-enhancing technologies.

4.
What if I need to search for fewer addresses that your business package offers?

In some instances we might be able to accommodate smaller packages for workflows that are less crypto-centric. For example, one of our users is a car dealership that sells vehicles using crypto so they only need to search a few dozen transactions per month. If you believe in blockchain analysis as a path to a safer financial system, send us a note and our sales team will work with you to find a way to make it work.

5.
Are you looking to expand for more crypto tokens?

Yes. Our team will be releasing coverage for additional layer 1 protocols and cryptocurrency assets in the near future. We are also working with private technology and financial institutions to include coverage of private-permissioned blockchains. Subscribe to our newsletter and we'll inform you as those launch.

6.
What if I'd like to report a crypto scam, a hacked wallet or any other criminal activity?

If you've been a victim of a cryptocurrency scam, hack, or fraud and wish to report it to Blockpliance, start by alerting your local law enforcement authorities and providing them with all relevant detail. We know not all law enforcement teams will be able to help, but having the police report record does help us be able to help you. Afterward, contact our team, sharing the gathered information so we can look into the situation. Note our team will not be able to recover the funds for you, as only law enforcement has the capacity to do so through the legal system, but we might be able to point out relevant information to expedite the process. Maintain cooperation with both the analytics company and law enforcement throughout the investigation. Be patient, as these processes can be time-consuming. Additionally, consider seeking legal advice for significant losses.

Please, disregard any messages claiming to recover your funds for a fee. Most of those are scams. Also, note our team will never ask you for money in exchange or submitting a report or recovering funds. In fact, crypto asset recovery is never a guaranteed deal.
