SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TRM Labs today announced their comprehensive blockchain intelligence coverage for The Open Network (TON), a decentralized blockchain integrated with the end-to-end encrypted messaging application Telegram, that allows developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) and digital assets, and one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems in the world.
TON’s multi-blockchain architecture with dynamic sharding enables it to process millions of transactions per second — underpinning the importance of blockchain intelligence for identifying and preventing bad actors from capitalizing on the network’s speed and scalability. TRM’s coverage of TON provides essential risk management and compliance solutions that benefit both financial institutions and law enforcement agencies — providing unparalleled intelligence capabilities while ensuring users can transact on TON safely and securely.
For financial institutions and crypto natives, TRM’s coverage creates a seamless experience for assessing risk exposure, detecting threats, and meeting regulatory requirements. For example: screening wallets for sanctions and high-risk activity, monitoring transactions for suspicious activity or fraud, ensuring regulatory compliance for TON trading and custody, and supporting incident response and law enforcement requests — all while providing customers with access to innovative blockchains.
For law enforcement agencies, TRM’s extensive coverage provides unparalleled intelligence for tracing illicit activity on TON, enabling law enforcement to uncover, investigate, and disrupt financial crime across one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems. TRM’s coverage for TON includes the integration of Chainabuse — the leading reporting platform for malicious crypto activity worldwide — enabling real-time identification and reporting of illicit TON activity.
This layering of data and insights from Chainabuse is particularly crucial as TON experiences explosive growth through its Telegram integration. TON will receive real-time alerts of fraud and scams on Telegram involving TON, enabling them to rapidly respond by flagging dangerous addresses and entities in real-time — helping to keep their 3 million+ monthly active users safe.
"Innovation and security must go hand in hand. By expanding our coverage to TON, we’re giving compliance teams and law enforcement the intelligence they need to navigate regulatory requirements, detect illicit activity, and support the safe growth of one of the world’s most dynamic blockchain networks,” said Rahul Raina, Chief Technology Officer at TRM Labs.
“One of the things we’re most committed to ensuring at TON is that we deliver security alongside speed and scalability,” said Manuel Stotz, President of TON Foundation. “Our partnership with TRM Labs underscores and strengthens this commitment by providing best-in-class intelligence capabilities that help safeguard our ecosystem. With TRM’s advanced blockchain intelligence, we are now able to proactively detect and prevent illegal activities, ensuring a secure environment for developers, institutions, and our millions of global users.”
TRM’s blockchain intelligence now spans 77 blockchains — 32 of them with enhanced support — offering the broadest and most advanced coverage in the market. This makes TRM the most comprehensive solution for tracking cross-chain financial flows involving TON, empowering compliance teams and law enforcement with unparalleled visibility into illicit activity.
