Designed for use by governments, financial institutions, Web3 startups, and law enforcement agencies, Global Ledger combines real-time transaction monitoring, forensic-grade investigation tools, and automated risk scoring to help users verify the source and flow of funds across hundreds of blockchains. With its proprietary databases and visualization technology, the platform enables users to proactively prevent illicit activity, trace stolen assets, and meet international compliance standards with speed and accuracy.
From identifying suspicious wallet behavior to executing complex multi-hop tracing across decentralized networks, Global Ledger delivers the infrastructure required to secure crypto environments. Its flagship products, GL Monitoring and GL Vision, support over 1000 digital assets and more than 460 million known addresses, enabling organizations to monitor, investigate, and report blockchain activity with unprecedented scale and efficiency. Additionally, Global Ledger offers services such as asset recovery, fraud alerts, and a compliance officer certification program, providing end-to-end solutions that support both proactive security measures and post-incident response. Based in Zug, Switzerland, the company collaborates with major institutions including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, WhiteBIT, and CipherBlade, positioning itself at the forefront of global crypto compliance and investigative technology.
Global Ledger was built to address the rising need for sophisticated compliance and anti-money laundering tools within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. As crypto adoption spreads, so do its risks—ranging from darknet activity and ransomware to insider trading and cross-border laundering. To bridge this compliance gap, Global Ledger created a full-stack AML infrastructure tailored for governments, regulators, and businesses operating in the Web3 space.
The company’s flagship solutions include GL Monitoring and GL Vision. GL Monitoring delivers real-time risk scoring by analyzing wallets, transactions, and counterparties against a database of over 460 million addresses. It continuously updates risk scores based on new blockchain data, helping users monitor and block illicit fund flows in milliseconds. The system also supports seamless API integration, allowing businesses to embed AML monitoring directly into their crypto platforms.
GL Vision offers powerful transaction visualization, enabling users to track the origin, flow, and use of cryptocurrency through deep graph analytics. The tool supports hundreds of “hops,” detects mixing patterns and anonymization attempts, and clusters wallet addresses to identify hidden relationships. These capabilities are crucial for large-scale forensic investigations into hacks, thefts, or financial crime. The semi-automated interface enables analysts to trace transactions step-by-step while highlighting risk signals and suspicious behavior.
Compared to other compliance-focused platforms like Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM Labs, Global Ledger stands out with its real-time score refresh rates, deeper wallet clustering, and scalable infrastructure capable of handling massive data volumes. It’s a preferred choice for those needing speed, scale, and privacy protection in transaction monitoring and investigation.

Global Ledger FAQ
Global Ledger uses its GL Monitoring system to provide real-time AML risk assessment on crypto transactions. The system analyzes transaction data across hundreds of blockchains using a proprietary database of over 460 million addresses, both legitimate and illicit. With a response time under 500 milliseconds, it calculates a risk score by evaluating the origin, destination, and behavior of each wallet. This scoring is dynamically updated with every block confirmation, allowing businesses to monitor transactions continuously, receive fraud alerts instantly, and block suspicious transfers before they are processed.
GL Vision sets itself apart with its high-resolution blockchain visualization engine that allows for unlimited transaction tracing, clustering of related wallets, and detection of coin mixing patterns. Unlike many competitors, it features a semi-automatic mode that opens blockchain nodes one-by-one to quickly reach deanonymized addresses. It also provides joined investigative reports and advanced filtering options, all wrapped in a user-friendly interface. GL Vision is built for investigative and compliance teams needing fast, forensic-level tracing of large-scale or deeply obfuscated crypto transactions. Learn more at globalledger.io.
