The analytics platform said it would begin rolling out the agents over the summer for use in investigations and compliance.
Chainalysis is introducing “blockchain intelligence agents,” a set of AI tools the company says act less like typical language models and more like an “experienced analyst working at machine speed.” Announced Tuesday at the Chainalysis Links conference in New York, the agents are intended to give users investigative capabilities and help scale compliance efforts.
The company plans a phased rollout this summer, focusing initially on investigations and compliance workflows. “We’re starting where we know we can have the most impact: investigations and compliance,” co-founder and CEO Jonathan Levin wrote on the company blog, adding that as bad actors use AI to scale, defenders must do the same.
The move follows TRM Labs’ recent launch of “AI investigative assistants,” which help trace funds, run audits and support crypto-crime investigations. Chainalysis said it has already used its agents in early development for investigations and intelligence gathering.
Earlier this year, Chainalysis reported ransomware attacks rose 50% in 2025, even as payments tied to those attacks fell about 8% year over year, from $892 million in 2024 to $820 million in 2025.
