Chain Insights

Chain Insights is pioneering the development of blockchain analytics solutions that combine high-performance indexers (tools) and AI agents. Our platform integrates advanced Knowledge Graphs, fast databases, and cutting-edge algorithms to transform blockchain data into actionable insights.

Our Indexers (Tools)

Our AI Agents

Our AI agents leverage the data collected by our indexers to provide intelligent analysis and insights. These agents use machine learning and natural language processing to interpret complex blockchain data and present it in an accessible format.

Our mission is to deliver infrastructure and tools that enable users to analyze, interpret, and gain deep insights into blockchain transactions, balances, and events.

How It Works

Chain Insights addresses critical challenges in the blockchain ecosystem by leveraging:

  • Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
    Detect and prevent illegal activities by tracking and analyzing cryptocurrency movements across the network.

  • Anomaly Detection
    Identify irregular patterns—such as fraud, scams, or rug pulls—through continuous monitoring and predictive analytics.

  • Pattern Detection
    Discover groups of related addresses and repetitive transaction behaviors tied to specific events using advanced algorithms.

  • Similarity Detection
    Uncover relationships between nodes (addresses) and events (transactions) with machine learning models that detect hidden connections.

  • Financial Crime Prevention
    Strengthen security and compliance through proactive detection of illicit behaviors, helping safeguard the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

By combining these capabilities with scalable databases and dynamic knowledge graphs, Chain Insights provides a holistic solution for anyone looking to gain actionable intelligence from complex blockchain data.

Our Technical Innovations

  • High-Performance Data Indexing We use ETL processes to extract raw blockchain data, transform it, and load it into fast Clickhouse databases.

  • Real-Time Data Distribution
    We Implemented a Kafka message brokers to handle millions of transactions per second.

  • Advanced Knowledge Graphs
    We leverage Neo4j and Memgraph for sophisticated relationship analysis and using GNN machine learning for labeling, classify and links addresses and relationships.

  • Custom Infrastructure
    We utilize high-end GPUs and AMD 4th Generation with DDR5 high speed memory systems to train and fine tune AI/ML models at scale.

Our Indexers

Money Flow Indexer

The Money Flow Indexer tracks the movement of cryptocurrency across the blockchain, creating a comprehensive graph of transactions between addresses. It enables users to:

  • Trace the flow of funds between addresses
  • Identify clusters of related addresses
  • Detect patterns in transaction behavior
  • Analyze whale movements and their market impact

Balance Tracking Indexer

The Balance Tracking Indexer maintains historical balance information for all addresses, allowing point-in-time queries that aren't natively supported by blockchains. Key features include:

  • Historical balance snapshots at any block height
  • Time-series analysis of address holdings
  • Correlation of balance changes with market events
  • Valuation of holdings in multiple currencies

Transaction Stream Indexer

The Transaction Stream Indexer provides real-time access to blockchain transactions as they occur, enabling immediate analysis and response. Benefits include:

  • Live transaction monitoring
  • Real-time alerts for specified addresses or transaction types
  • Immediate data for trading algorithms and bots
  • Websocket connections for continuous data streams

Cyclic Indexer

The Cyclic Indexer specializes in detecting circular transaction patterns that may indicate wash trading, market manipulation, or other suspicious activities. It offers:

  • Identification of transaction cycles of varying complexity
  • Analysis of time intervals between cyclic transactions
  • Detection of coordinated trading patterns
  • Risk scoring for addresses involved in cyclic transactions

Smurfings Indexer

The Smurfings Indexer focuses on identifying "smurfing" behavior - the practice of breaking down large transactions into multiple smaller ones to avoid detection. Features include:

  • Detection of transaction splitting patterns
  • Identification of coordinated small-value transfers
  • Temporal analysis of fragmented transactions
  • Reconstruction of the original transaction intent

Challenges We Have Solved

Blockchain technology is transformative, but its rapid growth presents significant challenges. Chain Insights addresses the following problems:

Storage & Speed Limitations

  • Blockchain data requires between 4TB and 22TB of storage for popular blockchains, with LevelDB, RocksDB and PebbleDB using Json-RPC APIs making them impractical for data analysis.

Transaction Speed Requirements

  • Leading blockchains such as Solana, Polygon, and Arbitrum process up to 200,000 transactions per second (TPS), demanding infrastructure capable of matching these speeds.

Database Inefficiencies

  • Most blockchain nodes use database engines like LevelDB or RocksDB, which are not optimized for large-scale data analysis.
  • Emerging alternatives like PebbleDB improve storage efficiency but remain unsuitable for advanced analytics.
  • We leverage Clickhouse Database Engine by extract transform and load (ETL) for fast queries and data analysis

Complex Blockchain Data

  • Blockchain data is encrypted and challenging for humans to interpret. Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning with fine-tuning LLM models are required to make sense of this data.

Slow Querying of Blockchain Data

  • Accessing blockchain states at specific points in time is time-intensive, requiring advanced indexing solutions that leverage Clickhouse, Kafka, Neo4j and Memgraph on High Availability Kubernetes clusters.

Key Offerings

Chain Insights introduces services that redefine blockchain data analysis:

Transaction Stream Analysis

  • A new category of blockchain data insights, focusing on the movement of cryptocurrency funds and balance changes.

DeFi and TradeFi Support

  • Provide traders, exchanges, brokers, and liquidity providers with real-time alerts and insights for trading strategies and risk management.
  • Enable trading applications and bots to subscribe to specific blockchain events via WebSocket connections.

User-Friendly APIs

  • Offer free API endpoints to simplify blockchain analysis, making advanced insights accessible to everyone.

Risk Management Tools

  • Deliver signals and insights for detecting irregularities, tracking whale activity, and identifying money flows that influence the market.

Our Unique Approach

Chain Insights offers a comprehensive solution for blockchain analytics with these key differentiators:

  • Use of advanced databases (Neo4j, Memgraph, Clickhouse, Kafka)
  • AI-driven insights for money flows, balance tracking, and anomaly detection
  • Integrated indexers and AI agents working together
  • High-performance data processing for real-time analysis

Conclusion and Vision

Chain Insights is more than a blockchain explorer or node provider. By combining advanced indexing tools, AI agents, and infrastructure, we offer a unique and powerful solution for understanding cryptocurrency ecosystems. Our mission is to empower users with actionable insights for DeFi and TradeFI, enhance compliance with AML regulations, and combat financial crimes, paving the way for mainstream blockchain adoption.
