Blockchain-Based Know-Your Transactions

?Blockchain technology offers an innovative, secure, and decentralised way to transfer digital assets. However, this growth has also led to an increase in illicit activities such as hacks, thefts, money laundering, terrorism financing, and fraud.?

In response to these challenges, there is a growing demand for blockchain-based solutions that can monitor and mitigate illicit activities in digital asset transfers. This is where Blockchain-Based KYT (Know Your Transaction) comes in.

What is Blockchain-Based KYT (Know Your Transaction)?

KYT is a real-time transaction monitoring solution that helps businesses and financial institutions detect, mitigate and report illicit activities in digital asset transfers. By leveraging the security and immutability of blockchain technology, KYT provides a comprehensive solution to monitor digital asset transactions and identify potential risks.

What are the Benefits of KYT?

Being able to know your transactions comes with numerous security benefits. These are not limited to:?

1. Easy integration into existing TradFi systems: Traditional Financial systems conduct KYC as well as monitor the transactions of users to detect those that may be associated with illicit activities, even before they are completed. Blockchain-based KYT mirrors this procedure and provides an even more comprehensive view of the entire transaction lifecycle.?
2. Compliance with existing regulatory frameworks: KYT also integrates with existing compliance and regulatory systems, providing a seamless solution for businesses to monitor and mitigate potential risks. This integration ensures that the KYT system is fully compliant with existing regulatory frameworks and provides businesses with the confidence they need to continue operating in the digital asset space.
3. Automated KYT screening allows for Easy processing of large volumes of transactions: The transaction monitoring engine is automated, hence millions of addresses and transactions can be screened in a matter of seconds.
