The agents will allow users to conduct investigations and ensure compliance without specialized technical skills.
Chainalysis, the leading blockchain analysis firm, made the announcement at its annual Links conference.
The agents represent an evolution of the existing Chainalysis platform, not a separate product or chatbot. They are trained on billions of verified transactions, more than 10 million investigations, and over a decade of experience working with blockchain data.
The tool democratizes access to the company’s data, which courts have recognized as reliable and admissible.
How the Agents Work?
The agents leverage the full scope of Chainalysis data, products, and institutional expertise. They allow users—from investigators and compliance analysts to executives—to formulate queries in natural language and receive accurate results.

Chainalysis emphasizes four key development principles:
- Data quality: the most complete and accurate dataset in the industry
- Context and logic: knowledge of real-world investigations and compliance requirements
- Auditable results with deterministic processes: identical inputs produce identical outputs, with clear separation between deterministic and investigative modes
- Human control: the operator determines the agent’s level of autonomy
During testing, agents have already been used for complex multi-chain investigations, alert enrichment, report generation, building web applications and dashboards, and collecting open-source intelligence. Workflows that previously took days now complete in minutes with full audit trails.
What’s Next?
The agents will begin rolling out in summer 2026. The initial rollout will focus on key areas: investigations and compliance.
Chainalysis co-founder and CEO Jonathan Levin called this a “truly important moment” for lowering the barrier to entry in blockchain analytics.
“Every enterprise and every law enforcement agency has its own challenges, which is why we are building a platform where they can create their own agents tailored to their needs,” Levin noted.
He added that the tool is particularly relevant now as professionals from traditional finance enter the crypto industry without extensive experience in digital assets.
Another goal of these agents is to help law enforcement, financial institutions, and crypto businesses stay ahead as the industry grows.
