Blockchain Intelligence tools & products have been developed since the launch of the Bitcoin blockchain. The first tools allowed to analyze blockchain data were the “Block(chain) Explorers”, in order to organize and present raw blockchain data, which helped retail investors look up their own crypto-assets transactions.
Blockchain analytics tools appeared later in 2015, combining raw blockchain data with a proprietary database of known addresses to link on-chain activity to real-world entities. These tools allow address classification, providing investigation tools, monitoring transactions and risk analysis in a “blacklist-based” model.
Blockchain Intelligence goes beyond the traditional “blacklist-based” approach of blockchain analytics, and dynamically identifies risks, opportunities and threats. This is similar to the evolution of spam detection, anti-virus, and fraud prevention, which evolved from ‘blacklist-based’ risk models, to dynamic assessment models that are effective to support decision making.
