Imagine trying to track down a fugitive in a city where you can see every street corner—but all the alleys are hidden. That’s the daily reality for today’s crypto investigators. Blockchain, once the symbol of transparency, has evolved. Crypto mixers and privacy-based DeFi protocols were developed to protect user anonymity in the open ledger, but they’ve also become a magnet for criminal money laundering.
Case in point: According to U.S. law enforcement, the notorious Lazarus Group, the North Korean hackers behind some of the biggest crypto heists to date ($625 Million Ronin hack; $100 Million Harmony hack), has laundered millions of stolen crypto funds through crypto mixers Tornado Cash and privacy protocol Railgun. On the flip-side, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has lauded Railgun for enabling users to engage with decentralized apps (DApps) on Ethereum “without compromising users’ privacy” while making it “much harder” for hackers and criminals to launder funds. Railgun has reached over $2 billion in total transaction volume as of the time of writing.
This reality highlights a growing tension: how do we protect individual privacy while stopping bad actors from exploiting these tools for crime?

As crypto exchanges enforce stricter KYC measures, we’re seeing a fundamental shift in how bad actors operate. Gone are the days when crypto criminals would directly cash out through centralized exchanges. Now, they’re taking advantage of privacy solutions that allow them to mask their tracks and stay hidden under the radar, burying their trail behind a vast network of transactions that jumps across blockchains and smart contracts.
Let’s be real—tracing the flow of stolen funds on the blockchain is arduous. The addition of these obfuscation layers makes it feel like someone keeps moving the finish line. You’re manually tracing hundreds, maybe thousands of transactions, analyzing every thread, and verifying every link, only to face an entirely new set of obstacles when privacy layers get added to the mix. It’s a race against time to help victims recover stolen funds.
That’s exactly why we built the High-Risk Tracer. We understand what it’s like to face those constant roadblocks, and we believe it shouldn’t be this hard to see the bigger picture. Our goal was simple: create a tool that makes it possible to identify hidden threats and high-risk addresses without spending hours on manual tracing and endless cross-referencing.
The High-Risk Tracer in AnChain.AI’s CISO™ platform is like a high-powered flashlight for your investigations. It’s an AI-powered feature that’s designed to cut through the dark alleys of blockchain transactions, spotlighting hidden connections so you can see exactly who’s interacting with high-risk addresses—even if they’re buried multiple layers away.
CISO™ High-Risk Tracer maps out how the Ronin Bridge hacker moved millions in stolen crypto funds and highlights all the high-risk addresses several layers away.
With the High-Risk Tracer, you get a tool that does more than follow the trail—it maps out the entire network of interactions and spotlights risky addresses, giving you a level of insight and precision that goes beyond traditional tracing methods.
Privacy is important and will remain critical. But for decentralized technologies to gain and retain trust, they must demonstrate effectiveness in privacy protection and robustness against misuse. The High-Risk Tracer strengthens your position by giving you deeper visibility into blockchain transactions. It makes it possible to protect financial ecosystems from hidden threats. This is the future of blockchain investigations, where investigators can see everything, connect every dot, and bring bad actors to justice faster and more effectively.
Are you ready to stop chasing shadows and start uncovering the big picture? Let’s talk. The High-Risk Tracer is your way to gain a clear view of high-risk addresses in a single click. Contact us today for a demo and see firsthand how the High-Risk Tracer can transform your investigative approach.
