Chainalysis and BVNK Extend Partnership to Power Compliance in Self-Hosted Digital Asset Payments

Chainalysis, the blockchain data platform, today announced an extension of its partnership with long-time customer and partner, BVNK, to integrate Chainalysis KYT (Know Your Transaction) directly into BVNK’s new Layer1 platform. This deepening collaboration allows businesses using Layer1’s self-hosted payments infrastructure to seamlessly monitor and manage transaction risk, embedding Chainalysis’ industry-leading data directly into their core operations.

Building on BVNK’s commitment to providing a regulatory-ready and secure framework, this native integration allows customers to access Chainalysis’ real-time crypto compliance intelligence from within the Layer1 dashboard. The solution operates on a ‘Bring Your Own Key’ (BYOK) model, enabling any licensed Chainalysis KYT customer to instantly activate the features by inputting their API key. This empowers businesses to review risk scores, monitor addresses, and freeze high-risk transactions without ever leaving the Layer1 environment, streamlining compliance and reducing operational overhead.

Chainalysis KYT is designed to monitor cryptocurrency transactions in real-time, using advanced analytics to detect suspicious activity and prevent fraud. KYT is used globally by leading exchanges, regulators, banks, and more.

BVNK’s Layer1 is a self-hosted, self-custody digital asset payments infrastructure designed for businesses. It empowers organizations to build and manage their own payment systems without the complexities of developing from scratch. With Layer1, businesses can:

  • Accelerate Development: Eliminate the complexities of building in-house blockchain payment systems by providing a ready-made infrastructure.
  • Automate Core Operations: Handle essential functions like wallet creation, transaction reconciliation, and digital asset management out of the box.
  • Maintain Control: Offer a self-hosted, self-custody solution, giving businesses full control over their funds and infrastructure.
  • Streamline Integrations: Simplify connections with critical third-party providers, now including Chainalysis for best-in-class compliance.

“We’re thrilled to deepen our partnership with BVNK, a long-time customer that has always prioritized a strong compliance framework,” said Alex Cable, Vice President, NEMEA, Chainalysis. “This native KYT integration into their new Layer1 platform is the logical next step in our collaboration. By enabling a ‘Bring Your Own Key’ model, we are making it incredibly simple for our mutual customers to activate best-in-class risk management directly within their payment infrastructure. This makes it easier than ever for businesses to build trusted, secure, and compliant payment solutions.”

For BVNK, compliance is an integral part of the payment flow and Chainalysis is an essential part of their toolkit. By extending the partnership, they’re able to offer customers a seamless, user-friendly way to manage risk directly within their own infrastructure. This empowers BVNK customers to meet regulatory expectations without sacrificing efficiency.
