TRM Labs

“The platform made it possible to visualize the entire money trail in a matter of minutes.”

“Without TRM Labs, I would have had to manually trace every transaction, which could have taken hours or even days,”

“Our role is to ensure the underlying systems support that so teams can move forward without unnecessary friction.”

“The business is focused on growth and execution,”

“Remediation is significantly more complex than getting it right from the start.”

“It’s much easier to build the right foundations from day zero than to retrofit them later.”

“We’ve built our compliance program to scale from day one, because it’s extremely difficult and costly to run with the bare minimum and then have to build out additional processes every time the business grows.”

“As we add support for new networks like TRON, we don’t have to adjust our compliance operations,”

“TRM's wallet attribution is one of the key inputs underpinning our entire transaction monitoring operation,”

“Even if cryptocurrency operations provide the appearance of anonymity to the parties involved in the transactions, the blockchain offers plenty of interesting information that can help in resolving a criminal case. To identify this information, it’s essential to have access to the appropriate tools, such as TRM Forensics, especially to find correct attribution and open opportunities to request additional data from VASPs, which is essential to identify people related to a crime. The results reached in Operation Medellín wouldn’t be the same without TRM Forensics.”

“With the MCP, we reduced the time needed to respond by about 3x, and we can handle a growing volume of replies as the business expands, without increasing the number of people involved,”

“When it is, the analysis runs through TRM's MCP against pre-set parameters and returns a report, without a manual investigation at that stage. The person who used to run the search now supervises the output for precision instead.”

“When we receive an information request, we upload it to our dashboard, and based on a semantic analysis of the request, we can detect whether the AML team's intervention is needed,”

“and to what they were before we implemented this system.”

“The results are far superior to what they were on day one,”

“From day one, we included the human-in-the-loop as part of the design.”

“We built each agent from scratch, step by step, and made them work properly, first individually, and then as a whole system,”

“With the MCP, a consistent standard is applied across investigations.”

“With the standard API, TRM gives you the data and you define the research criteria, so the result is different every run, and it lacks context,”

“For simple tasks, like reviewing internal databases or data we already had, we use simpler models.”

“For more complex tasks we use more advanced models,”

“The meta-audit agent checks quality and makes sure everything is coherent with what was investigated, so we have greater traceability,”

“So we created a specific agent for each task, and the key was making sure each agent has its own expertise.”

“An investigation progresses through several phases,”

“We thoroughly understand the concept of human-in-command. We created workflows where a large part is done by agents with human supervision, because speed, efficiency, and accuracy matter as much as understanding what we're doing and protecting our clients' and company's data.”
