“Can you have a look at this address for me?”
That’s how it often begins. A cryptocurrency wallet — suspicious, possibly criminal, definitely urgent.
It turns up in a fraud intake, a seized device, or buried in a threat intelligence report. You might not know exactly what it is, but you know enough to know that it matters. And so the investigation stalls. Because crypto is complex. And time is short.
Crypto-enabled crime is no longer confined to cyber units. It’s showing up everywhere: in financial investigations, intelligence operations, scams, human trafficking cases, and frontline incidents. But most investigators don’t have the time, tools, or expertise to triage these leads on their own.
That’s when the questions start to pile up – or get passed to a crypto specialist, if they’re available, if they have bandwidth, if it even gets to them in time.
Chainalysis Rapid was built to solve this.
Built for investigators, not crypto experts
Rapid is the industry’s first AI-powered crypto triage solution designed to help any investigator quickly tell if there’s something there — or nothing at all. No crypto expertise required. No need to wait on a specialist.
Just enter an address or scan a QR code. Rapid handles the rest.
In seconds, you’ll get a plain-language summary explaining what the wallet is, who it’s associated with, and what to do next — all in simple terms any investigator can understand and act on.
What makes Rapid different
- AI summaries you can trust: Rapid doesn’t predict. It clearly surfaces what Chainalysis intelligence already knows — including wallet balances, active blockchains, and counterparties — and recommends your next steps.
- Complete investigative context: See cross-chain exposure to mixers, darknet markets, scams, sanctioned entities and other illicit activity. Each summary includes risk indicators and potential legal request points. Need to escalate? Forward the full context to your analyst with one click for deeper review in Reactor.
- Works wherever you do: Rapid works in any browser, on any device. On-scene, in the lab, at your desk, no installation or downloads required.
Powered by trusted blockchain intelligence
Behind the scenes, Rapid runs on the same rigorously-vetted Chainalysis intelligence trusted by 1,500 agencies and organizations worldwide. It’s relied on in landmark investigations and court rulings; built on expert-developed heuristics, comprehensive and proprietary datasets like Signals, and proven investigative models.
Scale crypto capabilities across your team
Whether you’re triaging a scam report, reviewing a suspicious deposit, or checking a crypto lead that just doesn’t look right, Rapid helps your team identify and escalate only what truly needs expert review. That frees up specialists to focus on the highest-priority cases.
Rapid is already helping agencies reduce investigative backlogs, detect high-risk threats earlier, and scale crypto capabilities beyond specialist units thus improving collaboration across teams.
