Here is how we’d describe TRM’s products to a friend who is not in tech:
TRM creates a suite of software tools to analyze transactions on Blockchains, such as Bitcoin, allowing us to see ‘on chain events’- like where did funds come from, where did funds go, and who is potentially responsible for these transactions. The transactions, or ‘blockchain events’, that we help identify are for really awful purposes, like terrorist financing, funding drug trafficking, exchange of child sexual abuse photos/videos, ransomware, frauds/scams, and much more. Blockchain exchanges partner with us because they do not want bad actors using their platform, banks partner with us because they do not want funds from bad actors being sent to their bank for safe keeping, and government customers use us to help track and identify the bad actors they are chasing.
Here is how we’d describe TRM’s products to a friend who is an engineer:
TRM ingests public blockchain data into a petabyte scale data warehouse, combines it with off-chain data and uses proprietary algorithms and machine learning to build risk and compliance products. We solve challenging problems in large scale batch and real time data analysis, serving large datasets in an interactive low latency user interface and visualizing complex relationships in an intuitive way for users to conduct blockchain forensics.
Here is how we’d describe TRM’s products to a friend who works in the public sector:
TRM creates a suite of software tools to analyze on-chain data. With respect to investigations, the software can be used to analyze on chain events to see where did funds come from, where did funds go, and who is potentially responsible for these events, which can be anything from terrorist financing, to sanctions evasion, dark net markets, ransomware, frauds, child exploitation, and many more.
