Challenge the Client Faced
When Hacken built Extractor — a real-time threat intelligence and response platform for stablecoins, RWA, DeFi, and exchanges to prevent crypto hacks — they faced one key challenge: keeping up with the speed of crypto crime without compromising data accuracy.
In the first half of 2025, hackers were able to move stolen funds up to 75x faster than AML alerts, with some transfers happening just 4 seconds after an attack. Learn more in our latest report.
This growing speed gap makes reliable, real-time data essential for any compliance system. What’s more, most clients don’t need full-scale investigations. They need fast, accurate verification of transactions and entities, with instant alerts about suspicious activity within their compliance workflow.
Before partnering with Global Ledger, Hacken’s clients often worked with fragmented data sources, making it difficult to fully trust the accuracy of every AML check. They needed a partner that could provide trusted data with jurisdiction-wide AML coverage and seamless API integration, ensuring that their clients had real-time access to verified, accurate information.
“Our goal was and still is to provide clients with one platform that covers regulatory, security, and compliance requirements — from monitoring to incident response.”
Global Ledger Solution
Global Ledger component in use: Unique Database (via API integration)
Usage duration: Over 1 year
Global Ledger’s extensive database has become one of the key data inputs “powering” AML monitoring within Hacken’s Extractor platform.
Backed by verifiable attribution and millions of labelled addresses, the Global Ledger database provides reliable insights into risky entities, wallets, and hack- or scam-related activity. Thanks to this data, Extractor users can detect illicit behaviour across swaps, smart contracts, and multi-hop transactions, gaining full transparency into every activity they monitor.
