Is a professional association dedicated to blockchain intelligence — the discipline of analysing public blockchain data to produce reliable, verifiable findings for investigations, regulatory supervision and research. We bring together practitioners, public authorities and academic partners from different countries who share a conviction: that blockchain analytics must rest on open standards, recognised competences and professional accountability, not on the proprietary methods of any single vendor.
The training is exclusively designed for public sector organisations, including:
- Financial regulators and supervisory authorities
- Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs)
- Law enforcement agencies
- Tax administrations
- Intelligence agencies
- Government compliance and policy bodies
We also planning to hold the 3rd edition of the Blockchain Intelligence Forum in 2027, which should attract over 500 delegates from over 35 countries. The Forum has become an annual conference by blockchain intelligence practitioners for blockchain intelligence practitioners, hence becoming themust-attend event in the calendar.

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.
