Services & institutional customers
Sections ↑Merkle Science develops risk and investigation technology around onchain transactions. Its monitoring application combines address and transfer data with configurable policy rules and alerts. Financial institutions use such tools to prioritize reviews, not as an automatic legal conclusion about the identity or intent of every wallet owner.[1]
Tracker supports investigators tracing transaction paths, inspecting clusters and preparing evidence for case files. The platform describes attribution-support material and source reporting; investigative inferences still depend on the quality of observed onchain data, tags and additional offchain evidence.[2]
The KYBB documentation discusses research on VASP identity-verification procedures and tiered versus non-tiered onboarding. That work is conceptually different from the real-time screening of a deposit address, so a buyer should identify which products it is licensing rather than treating “crypto compliance” as a single function.[4]

|---|---|
| Behaviour rules | Detect configured transaction patterns.Source 1 |
| Exposure classification | Assess relationships with identified risk categories.Source 1 |
| Customer-specific policies | Different customer groups can use different risk rules.Source 3 |
| Continuous monitoring | Updates can generate alerts after an initial assessment.Source 1 |
Tracker investigation workflow
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Transaction tracing | Follow onchain movement through the graph.Source 2 |
| Exit-node identification | Locate potential off-ramp destinations.Source 2 |

Pricing & commercial terms
Sections ↑The public product pages use a demonstration/enterprise enquiry model and do not substantiate one universal monthly charge, lookup rate or transaction quota. Commercial comparison should specify chains, screening volume, users, historical coverage, alerts, API rights, investigations and support.[1]
Distinct product entitlements
| Scope | Commercial distinction |
|---|---|
| Monitoring | Addresses, transactions, networks and alert volume.Source 1 |
| Investigations | Investigator access, graph work and reporting.Source 2 |
| Counterparty research | KYBB coverage is separate from address screening.Source 4 |
| Enterprise terms | The inspected pages do not publish a universal price or lookup quota.Source 1 |
Implementation & delivery
Sections ↑From blockchain event to compliance decision
| Stage | Necessary distinction — editorial analysis |
|---|---|
| Transfer observed | Tokens moved on the observed chain.Source 1 |
| Customer identified | The firm maps the address and transaction to its own customer records.Source 1 |
| Risk signal assessed | Exposure and behaviour rules provide evidence for review.Source 1 |
| Analyst disposition | A human records whether to clear, hold or escalate under the institution’s policy.Source 2 |
Support & contacts
Sections ↑Merkle Science provides product demonstrations and service descriptions, but the inspected public pages do not establish a universal contractual support window, incident-restoration target or complete API rate schedule. These terms must be established for the contracted product.[1]
Published contact and documentation routes
Scope Request product demonstration, chain coverage and a tailored proposal.
Scope Review investigator features and evidence provenance.
Scope Official entry point for product and partnership enquiries.
Investigation and correction evidence
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Chain and transaction hash | Identifies the onchain event.Source 2 |
| Address and observed date | Preserves the object and timing of the classification.Source 2 |
| Attribution source | Separates the underlying evidence from an analyst inference.Source 2 |
| Prior assessment | Retains an audit trail when intelligence or classifications change.Source 1 |
Permissions & service scope
Sections ↑Merkle Science provides compliance tooling, not a financial-services licence or legal determination that all screened transfers are safe. Customers remain responsible for sanctions obligations, suspicious-activity investigations, applicable reporting and their own risk appetite.[1]
What the evidence does and does not establish
| Output | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Address label | Attribution evidence, subject to provenance and revision.Source 2 |
| Cluster | Analytical linkage; not conclusive proof of one legal owner.Source 2 |
| Risk alert | A review trigger, not an automatic finding of illegality.Source 1 |
| Balance/address proof | A tool’s balance information is not by itself a complete independent audit of assets and liabilities.Source 3 |
