Blockset Announces Key Partner Integrations to Complete Enterprise Blockchain Technology Stack

  • The ability to implement AML, transactional fraud detection, and compliance programs
  • The ability to include key management and security solutions for digital asset custody
  • The ability to access aggregated multi-chain digital asset data from a single source API

“Blockset’s success so far has come from our unmatched ability to simplify highly-technical problems in a reliable, scalable way for the enterprise,” said Adam Traidman, CEO and Co-Founder of BRD. “These new partnerships with CipherTrace, Unbound Tech, Elliptic, and Chainalysis represent our commitment to expanding that ability into a comprehensive set of end-to-end solutions to support a wide range of enterprise blockchain initiatives, all while upholding the highest standards of data integrity and security.”

Blockset’s new roster of partners includes CipherTrace, the cryptocurrency intelligence company; Unbound Tech, the global leader in cryptographic key management and protection; Elliptic, the provider of crypto-asset risk management solutions; and Chainalysis, the blockchain analysis company.

“Since its launch earlier this year, Blockset has set the pace as a leading blockchain data platform, and has assembled a roster of highly renowned enterprise partners in an impressively compressed timeframe,” said Dave Jevans, CEO of CipherTrace. “What the industry needs is tighter integration of capabilities, and we couldn’t be happier to align with Blockset and its vision of enterprise blockchain accessibility. Blockset’s reliability paired with our intelligence platform makes for an extremely robust compliance offering.”

The Blockset-CipherTrace partnership offers expansion beyond AML, transactional fraud detection, and cryptocurrency intelligence for banks, OTC desks, and other financial institutions, but also ensures full compliance with Travel Rule requirements in place. Given that BRD is part of PayID and the TRISA, the CipherTrace-led Trave Rule initiative, and the fact that CipherTrace is the compliance layer for PayID, Blockset offers leading and forward-thinking compliance offerings.

Blockset will also partner with Chainalysis, the leading blockchain analysis provider in the industry. The integration will utilize Chainalysis KYT (Know Your Transaction), the AML compliance solution for monitoring cryptocurrency transactions, composed of real-time screening, case management, and enhanced due diligence. Chainalysis will ultimately enable Blockset’s clients, namely financial institutions, government agencies, and cryptocurrency businesses, to monitor large volumes of cryptocurrency activity and identify high-risk transactions on a continuous basis. With real-time alerts, the partnership will allow compliance teams to focus on the most urgent transactions and fulfill their regulatory obligations to report suspicious activity.

To round off the comprehensive Blockset offering, Unbound Tech acts as the official partner to enable the deployment of industry-leading custody solutions. Thanks to Unbound Tech’s cryptographic expertise and use of multi-party computation (MPC) to secure keys on any device, institutions can ensure that company and user funds are stored with industry-leading security.

“There’s been significant demand from Unbound Tech’s clients for something like Blockset’s integration capabilities,” said Yehuda Lindell, CEO and Co-Founder of Unbound Tech. “I’m delighted to extend the power of Blockset’s dynamic suite of tools to our customers. We also look forward to putting our own unique security cryptographic acumen to work, as part of a broader, collaborative effort to drive enterprise adoption.”

“When a company wants a blockchain solution, it’s usually for a specific purpose, but they quickly find other use cases for the technology, which necessitates expertise and scalability” continued Traidman. “Our aim is to be a single, cost-effective, and sturdy backbone of an enterprise blockchain system upon which institutions will build for the future.”
