Merkle Science provides blockchain transaction monitoring software for virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and law enforcement agencies to detect, investigate, and prevent the illicit use of cryptocurrencies. Merkle Science’s software analyzes public blockchains to identify whether blockchain addresses belong to legitimate entities, such as exchanges, wallets, or payment providers, or illicit entities present on the darknet, listed on the US OFAC sanctions list, or from hacked wallet addresses.
