API-Powered Compliance for Hacken
Hacken’s Extractor, a platform for real-time threat intelligence and incident response focused on stablecoins, DeFi, and exchanges, required a reliable, high-quality data source to effectively adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of crypto crime while maintaining accuracy. By early 2025, the frequency of attacks and the movement of funds were occurring much faster than conventional AML alerts, creating a pressing need for real-time, verifiable data to support compliance processes. Global Ledger responded by providing its Unique Database through seamless API integration, which became a key data source for Extractor. This database offers millions of manually labeled addresses with verifiable attributions and accessible API connectivity, enabling Extractor to confirm transactions and entities on a large scale and in real time.
What we accomplished involved integrating Global Ledger’s Unique Database into Extractor’s monitoring pipeline through dependable API endpoints, facilitating immediate enrichment of on-chain events with confirmed attribution and risk context. We replaced fragmented and outdated data sources with a single, verifiably sourced dataset that supports both operational alerts and evidence suitable for regulators.
The results and advantages included: a reliable data foundation with millions of labeled crypto addresses enhancing alert and report accuracy; trusted monitoring providing teams using Extractor with continuous, verifiable insights into AML and CFT risks associated with swaps, smart contracts, and complex transaction flows; and improved operational efficiency as seamless API access minimized manual triage and sped up audit-ready incident responses. By incorporating Global Ledger’s verified dataset, Hacken enhanced Extractor’s capacity to swiftly and reliably detect illicit activities, thereby making compliance and investigations more efficient, transparent, and scalable for clients of all sizes.
