Overview
Elliptic Navigator is a purpose-built crypto transaction monitoring platform that helps financial institutions, exchanges, and compliance teams detect and investigate illicit activity across multiple blockchains and cryptoassets. Combining extensive on-chain data, a holistic entity graph, and configurable scoring and alerting, Navigator enables teams to monitor transactions in real time and trace complex fund flows across bridges, decentralized exchanges, and obfuscation services. The platform emphasizes chain-agnostic analysis, scalability, and operational integration, empowering teams to convert raw blockchain signals into actionable investigations.
Core Capabilities
-
Comprehensive asset and network coverage: Monitor mainstream blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as stablecoins, ERC-20 tokens, memecoins, and other tradable cryptoassets. Navigator’s dataset covers 13+ blockchains and tracks 39+ bridges to enable cross-chain tracing.
-
Holistic relationship graph and tracing: Navigator leverages a large proprietary graph that captures the relationships between addresses, entities, and services. With billions of relationships indexed, the system lets users follow funds across chains and through complex obfuscation techniques to uncover the true flows and exposures.
-
Configurable alerting and risk scoring: Users can set custom alert thresholds, risk categories, and behavioral indicators to prioritize the transactions that matter. The platform supports scoring by illicit category, specific behaviors, and USD-equivalent transaction values so teams focus on high-risk flows.
-
Fund flow analysis and forensics: With a single click, investigators can access a detailed breakdown of sources and destinations, exposure insights, and suspicious behavioral patterns that support case building, reporting, and escalation.
-
API-driven scale and automation: Navigator is designed for high throughput and programmatic access. It processes analyses via synchronous and asynchronous endpoints (demonstrated throughput metrics include high analyses-per-second figures) and supports bulk upload of large transaction sets into the UI for efficient batch investigation.
-
Workflow and integration features: The platform improves operational effectiveness with features to adjust statuses, add notes, export case data, and integrate with existing case management systems through flexible APIs.
Key Features (numbered)
-
Real-time multi-asset monitoring: Continuous screening of transactions and addresses across numerous networks and tokens, enabling near real-time detection of suspicious activity.
-
Chain-agnostic tracing: Programmatic tracking across chains, bridges, DEXs, and coinswaps to reconstruct complex fund movements and reveal hidden connections.
-
Configurable alerts & scoring: Fine-grained rules and thresholds that let compliance teams tailor alerts to their risk appetite and regulatory requirements.
-
Detailed fund flow analysis: Visualizations and exposure reports that show exact sources and destinations, assisting forensic analysis and evidence collection.
-
Scalable API and bulk processing: High-throughput APIs and bulk upload capabilities that support enterprise workloads for global exchanges and financial institutions.
