Compliance & Forensics

Open-source cross-chain tracing

Trace funds across bridges. Decode transactions on 7 architectures. Build NIS2/MiCA-ready compliance tools without paying $100K/yr for Chainalysis.

The scenario

You're a compliance team at an EU crypto exchange, a law firm doing digital forensics, or a RegTech startup building AML monitoring tools. You need to:

  • Trace a deposit on Ethereum through a Wormhole bridge to its withdrawal on Solana
  • Decode transaction data across multiple chain types to build audit trails
  • Generate regulatory reports for MiCA and NIS2 compliance
  • Screen addresses against sanctions lists across all chains you support

The problem today

Chainalysis / TRM / Elliptic
$100K+/year. Closed source. You can't embed their logic in your own product. You're renting intelligence, not building capability.
Building from scratch
Cross-chain correlation is a multi-year engineering effort. You'd need to understand bridge protocols (Wormhole VAAs, LayerZero messages, Circle CCTP), index events on both sides, and match deposits to withdrawals across incompatible chains.
$21B+ laundered through cross-chain bridges
The problem is getting worse, and the tools to fight it are locked behind enterprise paywalls.

How ChainFoundry solves it

rust
use chaincorrelate::BridgeMatcher;
use chainindex::MultiChainIndexer;

class="tok-c">// Index both chains
let indexer = MultiChainIndexer::new()
    .add_chain(class="tok-s">"ethereum", eth_rpc)
    .add_chain(class="tok-s">"solana", sol_rpc)
    .build();

class="tok-c">// Correlate bridge transfers
let matcher = BridgeMatcher::wormhole();
let correlation = matcher.match_deposit_to_withdrawal(
    &eth_deposit_tx,
    &indexer,
).await?;

println!(class="tok-s">"Deposit: {} ETH on Ethereum", correlation.source_amount);
println!(class="tok-s">"Withdrawal: {} on Solana at {}", correlation.dest_amount, correlation.dest_tx);
println!(class="tok-s">"Time delta: {}s", correlation.time_delta_seconds);

What changes for you

  • Embeddable — build cross-chain tracing into YOUR product, not rent it from someone else
  • Open source — audit the correlation logic yourself, no black box
  • EU-ready — built by an EU-based team, designed for MiCA/NIS2 compliance workflows
  • 10x cheaper — MIT-licensed core vs. $100K/year proprietary SaaS

Who this is for

  • EU crypto exchanges needing MiCA compliance tooling
  • Law firms doing blockchain forensics and digital investigations
  • RegTech startups building AML/KYT monitoring products
  • Government agencies and financial regulators
