# Iknaio Cryptoasset Analytics > Iknaio Cryptoasset Analytics GmbH is a Vienna-based deep-tech company building cryptoasset investigation tools for law enforcement, compliance teams, and professional advisors. We trace blockchain transactions, generate forensic reports, and reveal cross-case connections — built on a decade of peer-reviewed research and the open-source GraphSense platform. Iknaio is used by 2,500+ investigators across 23+ countries. Customers include law-enforcement agencies, banks and crypto exchanges (for AML screening), and lawyers, tax advisors, and security consultants. Infrastructure is EU-hosted with GDPR-compliant data handling. ## What Iknaio does - **Pathfinder**: Cryptoasset payment-flow analysis. Whole-network tracing across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, and other supported chains. - **CaseConnect**: Collaborative investigation platform that surfaces shared insights across related cases. - **QuickLock**: Automates generation of forensic transaction-tracing reports, removing repetitive manual analysis. - **CSAM Checker**: Pathfinder plugin that checks an address against known CSAM attribution tags on every network it exists on, labelling every hit with the relationship that produced it (direct tag, same cluster, transaction neighbour). - **API & MCP**: REST API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface for integration into AML, case-management, analytics stacks, and AI agent pipelines. ## Services - **Tailored Analytics**: Fund-flow reconstruction and written reports by our analysts for cases that exceed standard tooling. - **Trainings & Workshops**: Platform trainings for your team and topic workshops delivered by Iknaio research and product staff. - **Crypto-Estate Forensics**: Locating, recovering, and valuing cryptoassets in an estate, documented for probate, tax, and disputes. ## Platform pages - [Platform overview](https://iknaio.com/platform/): Pathfinder, CaseConnect, QuickLock, CSAM Checker, API & MCP, and integration details. - [Services](https://iknaio.com/services/): Tailored Analytics, Trainings & Workshops, and Crypto-Estate Forensics. - [Solutions](https://iknaio.com/solutions/): Use cases by audience — Investigate (law enforcement), Comply (financial institutions), Advise (lawyers, tax advisors, consultants). - [Packages](https://iknaio.com/packages/): Free, Professional, and Institutional tiers with feature matrix and FAQ.
