Merkle Science

Merkle Science is a predictive crypto risk platform with behavioural KYT monitoring, called Compass, that detects suspicious patterns even for wallets that have not been labelled. Founded in 2018, it operates from New York and Singapore.

Products

The listed products are Compass, with behavioural KYT rules, Tracker for cross-chain forensics, and KYBB, Know Your Blockchain Business. The company states that its behavioural rules catch new exploits and laundering before addresses reach blacklists, which matters because fresh wallets have no history in standard databases.

Customers and regions

Target clients are crypto exchanges, DeFi protocols, payment service providers, custodians and law enforcement. Coverage is Singapore, wider Asia, the United States, Europe and MENA.

Commercial terms

Merkle Science is sold as an enterprise SaaS subscription. Prices are not published. A compliance team comparing KYT vendors usually asks which blockchains are covered, how rules are tuned to risk appetite and how the alerts are exported to case management.
