1. Technology overview
Elliptic is a London-registered blockchain analytics company operating since 2013. It provides crypto compliance software that lets banks, payment providers, crypto businesses and government agencies screen, monitor and investigate on-chain risk such as sanctions exposure, fraud and money laundering.
Lens is its wallet and transaction screening workspace. It screens wallets before onboarding or withdrawals, screens transactions in real time (KYT) and re-screens over time to catch risk that emerges later, with configurable rules, logged risk factors and a single case queue. It draws on more than one billion labelled addresses and coverage of 60+ blockchains and 250+ bridges, and is used through a web workspace or API.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Wallet screening: Checks a wallet for illicit exposure before onboarding a customer or processing a withdrawal.
- Transaction screening: Screens individual transactions for sanctions and illicit exposure in real time.
- Continuous monitoring: Re-screens wallets and transactions and raises configurable alerts on new risk.
- Configurable risk rules: Thresholds and rules reflect each institution's own risk appetite.
- Explainable alerts: Every screen and alert logs the risk factors behind it for audit and examiners.
- Cross-chain coverage: Traces activity across 60+ blockchains and 250+ bridges via workspace or API.
3. Potential application
A licensed crypto-asset trading platform in Vietnam can screen deposit and withdrawal wallets for sanctions and fraud exposure. A commercial bank can check whether incoming fiat transfers originate from crypto off-ramps linked to scams. A payment intermediary handling stablecoin settlement can monitor counterparties continuously.
4. Benefits
Compliance teams screen wallets and transactions in one workspace and Elliptic reports up to 50% less time spent on risk management processes. Configurable thresholds match each institution's risk appetite, and logged risk factors give examiners an explainable record for every decision. Coverage of 99% of global trading volume reduces blind spots across chains and bridges.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Banks and payment firms are taking on stablecoin and crypto flows, and FATF standards and new licensing regimes require them to screen on-chain counterparties as they do fiat transactions. As Vietnam pilots a regulated crypto-asset market and tightens AML rules, banks and licensed platforms need blockchain analytics to meet these duties.
