Introduction

Chainalysis Know Your Transaction (KYT) is an automated cryptocurrency transaction monitoring and compliance solution. At the core of KYT is a REST-based API that provides you with transaction risk monitoring, alerts on risky transfers, and comprehensive user risk profiles, among other features. The API allows your internal business systems and Chainalysis's technology to communicate with each other.

Getting started

Registering transfers is required to get the total value of KYT: transaction screening, generating alerts, and building user and transaction risk profiles, among other features.

You can submit transfers via the API and KYT will provide insights on the transfer and counterparty involved. KYT will automatically monitor each transaction posted for changes in exposure and counterparty risk. All alerts, user risk scores, and transfer profile updates will be reflected in both the KYT Dashboard and API responses.

See the KYT integration guide below for information on integrating with the API including, various implementations and example compliance workflows.

About the KYT API

KYT’s API is a REST-based web service that:

• Has uniform resource endpoints (alerts, /transfers/sent).
• Accepts a request body (your data).
• Uses standard HTTP response codes (200, 404, 503).
• Returns responses in JSON.

After integrating your data into KYT, the API provides you a more comprehensive picture of risky activity. It returns additional information on transfers, alerts, and user risk that the KYT UI doesn't provide alone.

Sorting and filtering are available on many endpoints to help facilitate workflows. For example, you can query for all alerts created between certain dates, see exposure details on a specific user, or pre-screen for counterparty risk within your withdrawal workflow.

All times are in UTC.

What's new

See below for KYT API releases, updates, and changes.

July 9, 2021

We've updated our KYT API docs to restructure and reframe our endpoints. We believe the new structure brings more clairity to our API. It is important to note that both v1 and v2 endpoints are comptaible. We've included a new API implementation that details how you might integrate with our API. We've renamed our old integration guide to Legacy implementation.

May 27, 2021

We've recently released a new endpoint, POST: alert status and comment.

You can now make a POST request to change an alert's status and include a comment, giving you the ability to action historic alerts programmatically and ensure your case management syncs with KYT. View the endpoint here.

March 31, 2021

We've recently added Algorand as a supported asset.

For your transfers, KYT includes staking rewards where present. Algorand block explorers display staking rewards separately from the main payment transfer(s). Therefore, block explorers may introduce a discrepancy in the output index, e.g. a block explorer presents a counterparty at position 0, yet our representation shows the same counterparty at position 2. For this reason, you should include the output address, rather than output index, in transfer references for your KYT API requests.

October 28, 2020

We’ve recently added support for another 16 ERC-20 tokens. These include DeFi tokens, one of the most exciting and talked about areas of crypto, and a tranche of stable coins. Chainalysis now supports over 100 cryptocurrency assets. See the complete list of assets that KYT suppports here.

June 8, 2020

Chainalysis has launched support for two notable cryptocurrencies: Dash and Zcash. As two of the most popular so-called “privacy coins” — cryptocurrencies with privacy enhancing features encoded into their protocols — they account for over $1.5 billion of reported daily trading volume.

Our latest blog post explains how these two privacy coins allow investigators and compliance professionals to investigate and monitor illicit activity using our products.

See all cryptocurrencies that Chainalysis supports here.

May 26, 2020

KYT has introduced a new user risk score calculation that's easier to understand, customize, and control.

• There will be a new property in the API called riskScore, found in GET /users and GET /users/{userId}. It returns the risk score based on the new model as SEVERE, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW.

• The score property in the API, based on the legacy model, will remain. SEVERE and HIGH will be returned as red, MEDIUM as amber, and LOW as green. However, we recommend using the riskScore field going forward.

• Note that this is an additive change; no existing fields will be removed.

March 12, 2020

Chainalysis has added 43 new tokens, more than doubling the number of ERC-20 tokens we support. KYT can now help you understand what’s happening with 97% of the total value in ERC-20s and over $1 billion of ERC-20 transfers every day. See a complete list of assets that KYT suppports here.

February 11, 2020

• XRP is now available in Chainalysis! XRP is the cryptocurrency best known as a payment protocol for remittances, payment settlement, and the exchange of assets. It is the native currency of Ripple, a company that works with financial institutions to enable fast and low cost global payments. See the Assets section for more information.

December 10, 2019

• Ethereum Classic (ETC) is now supported in Chainalysis! Ethereum Classic is an alternate version of Ether.
• Register ETH smart contract transfers in KYT using a new transfer reference: "transaction hash:output address".

December 5, 2019

• You can now sort and filter alerts via the API. Sort GET /alerts by timestamp, createdAt, level, and alertAmountUsd, and filter by level. Read more about alert sorting and filtering capabilities here.

October 16, 2019

• KYT has released support for many new ERC-20s including LINK, CRPT, MCO, CRO, GNO, HT, MLN, LEO, WETH, ZIL, TGBP, REP, HOLD, AUDX, CADX, CHFX, CNYX, EURX, GBPX, GLDX, NZDX, RUBX, SLVX, USDEX, JPYX, HUSD, PAXG, and BUSD. See a full list of all coins that KYT supports here.

September 25, 2019

• Send data to the KYT API for hundreds of assets we don’t yet support. Implement the KYT API once and no changes are required when we support a new asset.
• Filter the /alerts KYT API endpoint by transferReference and asset.

August 6, 2019

• Alert information is now available via the KYT API. Users can use this API to integrate KYT Alerts into your own internal tools. See here for more information.

July 23, 2019

• ZRX, BAT, OMG, and MKR are now supported in the API.

API configuration

API request header & authentication

Example request header:

curl -X GET "https://test.chainalysis.com/api/kyt/v1/assets" \
  --header "Token: <API_KEY>" \
  --header "Accept: application/json"

Note: Make sure to replace <API_KEY> with your API key.

• API calls must include an API Key for authentication.
• API calls must include the appropriate Accept: application/json in the request header.

KYT environments

Example test server request:

curl -X POST 'https://test.chainalysis.com/api/kyt/v1/users/user_547/transfers/sent' \
  --header 'Token: <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '[{"asset": "BTC", "transferReference": "9aaaea1ce7d863e18d82f7ea331f9521a2c4fb7cbddd784001cd32ac28952cb5:0"}]'

We recommend using the Test Environment for initial API integration and validation. Once this is done, you can replace the API Key and URL to switch your integration to the KYT Production environment.

Security: All KYT API access is secured using HTTPS with TLS (v1.2) being supported.

Test environment URLs:

• Chainalysis KYT Dashboard https://kyt.test.chainalysis.com
• Chainalysis KYT API Endpoint https://test.chainalysis.com/api/kyt
• Chainalysis Reactor https://test.chainalysis.com

Production environment URLs:

• Chainalysis KYT UI https://kyt.chainalysis.com
• Chainalysis KYT API Endpoint https://api.chainalysis.com/api/kyt
• Chainalysis Reactor https://reactor.chainalysis.com

Generating API keys

You can create API keys from the Setting option in KYT's Account menu.

To create an API key:

1. Log into the KYT environment (Test or Production) for which you want to generate an API key
2. From the Account drop-down menu, click Settings.
3. Click the Generate API Key button. Your API key appears below.

You can also obtain an API key in the Settings menu in Chainalysis Reactor.

API response pagination

In the following example, the query parameters of "limit": 25 and "offset": 3 would display items 3-28 in the result set of 100 total items.

Note that the "data" array would typically display the data queried for these objects but has been truncated for this example.

The KYT API supports pagination for endpoints that return long lists of objects. Pagination allows you to retrieve a limited set (or subset) of results and to offset those results. Responses are displayed using total, limit, and offset. To see a different page, append the parameters limit and/or offset to the GET request.

{
  "total": 100,
  "limit": 25,
  "offset": 3,
  "data": [
    ...
  ]
}

Optional pagination parameters

Parameter Name	Type	Description
limit	Int	A limit on the number of objects returned.
offset	Int	The position of the first object returned in the response. The default is 0, which starts the page at the first result.

• total represents the total number of objects that answer the query, including the ones that are not displayed.
• data is an array of the data you requested.

If there is no data to be returned, the data array will be empty.

Integration

You must complete an API integration to populate your data for risk reporting and case management in the KYT dashboard. The integration can be tested in a test environment, then once completed, moved to the production environment. See KYT Environments above for more information about the test and production environments.

Tips

• You must have a valid API key and be using live mainnet data, or else you will receive 400 or 403 responses.
• All API access is over HTTPS.
• Data is sent and received in JSON format.
• Arguments are sent in the request body with the exception of the API key (Token), which is sent as a header.
• Blank fields are included as null instead of being omitted.
• TLS (v1.2) is supported.
• There is no rate limiting for the API.

Moving from test to production

1. Access the test environment
   Log in with your test credentials (obtained via email) and generate your API key for the test environment (links above).

2. Make successful requests on test server
   Ensure successful requests have been made on the test server (transfers/sent, transfers/received, etc).

3. Set up compliance workflows and verify that requests are aligned in the test environment
   <!-- See our suggested compliance workflows here. -->

4. Move from the test environment to the production environment
   Log in with your production credentials (obtained via email) and generate your API key for the production environment (URLs provided above).

You will need to regularly post new transfers to the KYT API. Each transfer needs to be posted to the API only once, and KYT will continuously monitor counterparties and transaction flows. If transfers are accidentally posted more than once, this will not have an effect.

API implementation

The API implementation guide details two common use cases:

• Crediting a user's funds upon deposit.
• Processing withdrawals.

Crediting a user’s funds

Typically, services do not have control over received transfers. This guide details how to use KYT data to take programmatic action when receiving a user deposit. Outlined below is an example describing how to use the KYT API to navigate received deposits.

When you receive a user deposit:

1. Call the POST /v2/users/{userId}/transfers endpoint. Be sure to indicate the "direction" as "RECEIVED" in the request body. If successful, you will:
   1. Receive a 202 response.
   2. Receive an external identifier (externalId). Store this external identifier in your system for later use.

2. Call the GET /v2/transfers/{externalId} summary endpoint using the externalId received in step 1. You will need to poll this endpoint until updatedAt is no longer null. Once populated, KYT generates alerts according to your organization’s alert rules.

   Note: How quickly the updatedAt field populates depends on how many confirmations Chainalysis requires before processing transactions for a given asset. Some require fewer confirmations or are quicker than others. Learn more in the Polling summary endpoints section.

3. Once the updatedAt field populates, determine whether the asset is fully-supported or part of Chainalysis’s Data Network (CDN) and follow the corresponding procedure below.

User deposits and fully-supported assets

With fully-supported assets, you can retrieve the following additional information about the transfer:

• Direct exposure information, if available.
• Alerts, if available.

To retrieve additional information about your received transfer:

1. Call the GET /v2/transfers/{externalId}/exposures endpoint to retrieve any available direct exposure information.
2. Call the GET /v2/transfers/{externalId}/alerts endpoint to retrieve any generated alerts specific to this transfer.

User deposits and CDN assets

For CDN assets, you can retrieve the following additional information about the transfer:

• Alerts, if available.
• Network Identifications, if available. Learn more about Network Identifications here.

To retrieve additional information about your received transfer:

1. Call the GET /v2/transfers/{externalId}/alerts to retrieve any generated alerts specific to this transfer.
2. Call the GET /v2/transfers/{externalId}/network-identifications endpoint to retrieve the counterparty name for any asset and transaction hash matches.

Note: Depending on the transfer, direct exposure information may be available. To check, try calling GET /v2/transfers/{externalId}/exposures endpoint.

Processing withdrawals

Sometimes services do not have information about the counterparty where their users attempt to make a withdrawal. This guide details how to use KYT data to take programmatic action when users attempt withdrawals. Outlined below is an example describing how to use the KYT API to navigate withdrawal attempts.

When a user attempts a withdrawal:

1. Call the POST /v2/users/{userId}/withdrawal-attempts endpoint. If successful, you will:
   1. Receive a 202 response.
   2. Receive an external identifier (externalId). Store the external identifier in your system for later use.
2. Call the GET /v2/withdrawal-attempts/{externalId} summary endpoint, using the externalId received in step 1. You will need to poll this endpoint until updatedAt is no longer null. Once populated, KYT generates alerts according to your organization’s alert rules.
3. Once the updatedAt field populates, determine whether the asset is fully-supported or part of Chainalysis’s Data Network (CDN) and follow the corresponding procedure below.

Withdrawal attempts and fully-supported assets

With fully-supported assets, you can retrieve the following additional information:

• Direct exposure information, if available.
• Alerts, if available.
• Chainalysis Identifications, if available.

To retrieve additional information about your withdrawal attempt:

1. Call the GET /v2/withdrawal-attempts/{externalId}/exposures endpoint to retrieve any counterparty exposure information.
2. Call the GET /v2/withdrawal-attempts/{externalId}/alerts endpoint to retrieve any available alerts specific to this counterparty.
3. Call the GET /v2/withdrawal-attempts/{externalId}/high-risk-addresses to check if the counterparty has any Chainalysis Identifications.
4. After successfully processing a user’s withdrawal, call the POST /v2/users/{userId}/transfers endpoint and indicate the "direction" as "SENT"to register the transfer for ongoing monitoring.

Withdrawal attempts and CDN assets

With CDN assets, you can retrieve the following additional information:

• Alerts, if available.
• Chainalysis Identifications, if available.
• Network Identifications, if available. Learn more about Network Identifications here.

To retrieve additional information about your withdrawal attempt:

1. Call the GET /v2/withdrawal-attempts/{externalId}/alerts endpoint to retrieve any alerts specific to the counterparty.
2. Call the GET /v2/withdrawal-attempts/{externalId}/high-risk-addresses to check if the counterparty has any Chainalysis Identifications.
3. Call the GET /v2/withdrawal-attempts/{externalId}/network-identifications endpoint to retrieve the counterparty name of any asset and transaction hash matches.
4. After successfully processing a user’s withdrawal, call the POST /v2/users/{userId}/transfers endpoint and indicate the "direction" as "SENT"to register the transfer for ongoing monitoring.

Polling the summary endpoints

How long to poll the summary endpoints ultimately depends on the particular Blockchain and its number and speed of confirmations.

Transfers example

For the /transfer endpoints, assuming you have made the initial POST request after a Bitcoin block has been mined, most transfers process in less than a minute. However, we still suggest polling for at least a few minutes if the updatedAt field has not yet populated. In cases when the updatedAt field is still null after a number of minutes, we suggest setting a policy about how long to wait before crediting a user's account.

Most services require at least a few confirmations before crediting a user's funds, which usually takes many minutes. It is during this time that you can begin polling the GET /transfers/{externalId} endpoint.

Withdrawal attempts example

The /withdrawal-attempts endpoints do not depend on a new block being mined. Therefore, the expected polling time is shorter. Nonetheless, we still recommend setting a policy for how long to wait in the case where updatedAt returns null for an extended amount of time.

Processing times for each chain

The number of confirmations required to process a transfer differs for each chain. Assuming a block has been mined, typically, BTC, ETH and ERC-20s, LTC, and BTC are processed within five seconds of the first confirmation. However, both DASH and ZEC require 30 confirmations and those confirmations take approximately 80 minutes for DASH and approximately 30 minutes for ZEC. On the other hand, DOGE requires 40 confirmations which take approximately 40 minutes.

Legacy implementation

Suggested implementations of the Chainalysis KYT API are detailed below, increasing in complexity and the amount of functionality you will receive. You can choose to work entirely in the KYT user interface (UI), or build a response within your own internal systems based on feedback and analysis from Chainalysis.

Building the analysis and data from the KYT API into your internal system provides robust functionality and gives you a more comprehensive picture of your risk. We suggest reviewing example compliance workflows to help assess which implementation best meets your needs.

At minimum, the two major endpoints required for integration are: /transfers/sent and /transfers/received. For basic functionality, you must execute at least those two requests.

Overview

The following graphic serves as a preview and comparison for the various KYT implementations. The implementations are described in detail in the sections below, including benefits and drawbacks as well as required endpoints for each.

To help you visualize a compliance workflow using data from the KYT API, here is a basic KYT implementation.

Prepare for launch 1

KYT UI only

This is the minimum implementation and keeps all data and functionality entirely within Chainalysis’s environment. It does not pull data into your internal systems.

You will receive the full functionality of the KYT UI, but you will not have the ability to automate actions on transfers within your internal systems based on the information from KYT.

This implementation requires registering /transfers/sent and /transfers/received. /depositaddresses is optional.

• Register a received transfer
  Registers a received transfer to a user and deposit address at your organization. The API response will contain a risk rating (high/low/unknown) of the counterparty that sent the transfer. If the cluster has been identified, the entity name will also be provided.

POST /users/{userId}/transfers/received

• Register a sent transfer
  Registers a completed outgoing transfer from a user at your organization to another entity. Usually this is called after the /withdrawaladdresses endpoint that pre-screens a counterparty before allowing the transfer to proceed.

POST /users/{userId}/transfers/sent

• Optional: Register deposit addresses
  In the future, KYT will be able to detect deposits (but not withdrawals) based on the deposit address. While this endpoint is not currently required for monitoring or integration, you can implement it now for use with upcoming functionality.

POST /users/{userId}/depositaddresses

Transactions must be associated with a User ID for user risk score calculation.

Prepare for launch 2

Internal systems only

While you can work entirely in the Chainalysis environment (see above), this implementation pulls Chainalysis’s data into your own system where you can incorporate KYT into your automated payments workflow.

Integrating Chainalysis’s data into your internal system helps you to get a more comprehensive picture of your risk activity and automate actions on transfers based on Chainalysis data. However, you will be missing out on functionality and convenience by not working within the KYT UI.

This implementation requires registering /transfers/sent and /transfers/received (described above), as well as /withdrawaladdresses.

• Pre-screen a withdrawal address
  Before allowing a transfer out of your organization, you can check the risk rating of the entity (cluster) associated with the address where the intended funds are going. After receiving a risk rating and information on the potential counterparty, you can determine whether to allow the withdrawal transfer to proceed.

For example, if you want to stop the withdrawal of funds to a sanction or terrorist financing entity, you would use this request.

POST /users/{userId}/withdrawaladdresses

Lift off

KYT UI & Internal systems

This setup is more robust than the previous implementations, as it encompasses both the KYT UI and your internal systems. You will be able to take action on transfers within your system and also have the full functionality of the UI, helping to provide continuity in the data you review between systems.

However, it does not take advantage of all the KYT features, such as alerts.

This implementation requires registering /transfers/sent, /transfers/received, and /withdrawaladdresses (described above).

With this implementation you can:

• Create a URL link from your internal systems to the KYT UI.
• Set flags based on Chainalysis data. For example, a 'high risk' response from transfers/received puts risky deposits up for review by your compliance team.
• Pull Chainalysis data into your payment review system. For example, you can include a transfer's risk rate in your payments review queue.

Cruising altitude

KYT UI & Internal systems

This implementation pulls Chainalysis data into both the KYT UI and your internal systems with an additional API endpoint, /alerts.

Cruising Altitude brings the most powerful data that KYT offers - alerts - into your internal system. You can perform the actions mentioned above (setting flags, pulling the risk score into payments queues, etc) with the benefit that the data you are using is the most robust. This implementation can also help you match the alerts workflows that your compliance team is likely doing in the UI.

This implementation requires registering /transfers/sent, /transfers/received, /withdrawaladdresses (described above), as well as /alerts.

• Get alerts
  Retrieves the details of all of your alerts in KYT and pulls those alerts into your own system. Alerts allow you to identify risky transfers on your platform.
  

GET /alerts

To the moon

KYT UI & Internal systems

This implementation pulls Chainalysis data into both the KYT UI and your internal systems. It builds on the implementations above with an additional endpoint, /users. GET /users provides you with a user risk score for each of your users.

Alerts and user risk score are two powerful analytic metrics that are provided by the KYT API for assessing your risk activity. User risk scores allow you to perform user-level automated review in your internal system on top of the transfer-level review from above.

This implementation requires registering /transfers/sent, /transfers/received, /withdrawaladdresses, /alerts (described above), as well as /users.

• Get users
  Retrieves details, including the user risk score (as LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or SEVERE), on all registered users in your system. You can use the user risk score to manually review or hold transfers made by high-risk users.

GET /users

Complianace workflows

Below are example compliance workflows using KYT’s most powerful risk assessment features to help you formulate policies and procedures based on the information provided by the KYT and Reactor UIs, and the KYT API.

The workflows below focus on three KYT features that help you prioritize risk activity: alerts, user risk score, and counterparty screen:

• Alerts in KYT are generated whenever a transfer involves a risky counterparty and/or crosses a value threshold. A single transfer can trigger multiple alerts.
• The user risk score helps you to identify high-risk users in your organization.
• Deposit and withdrawal requests registered with Chainalysis returns a counterparty risk rating as highRisk/unknown/lowRisk. If highRisk or lowRisk (i.e. if the counterparty is known), the Category (darknet market, exchange, etc.) and Name (Hydra Marketplace, Kraken.com) will also be returned.

We suggest using alerts as a notification and starting point for review and interacting with user risk profiles. The KYT Dashboard in the UI gives you a high-level overview of your risk for managerial and organizational reporting/monitoring, while alerts is where an analyst will spend most of their time.

Deposit workflow

This is a suggested workflow for funds that are received by a user at your organization. Note that in most cases, you cannot stop an incoming transfer from occurring. However, KYT helps you to detect the risk associated with the transfer and take appropriate compliance action. For example, if a user receives funds directly from a cluster categorized as child abuse material, you can decide how you want to react (e.g. freeze funds, investigate, and likely file a SAR).

1. Register the transfer
When funds arrive at a user address, POST the received transfer.

2. Check alerts and/or user risk score

You can check alerts:

• Via the UI: search for the transaction ID in the search bar at the top of the KYT UI. If an alert was raised on the transfer, it will appear in the transfer details panel.
• Via the API: by using the GET /alerts. Alert levels are returned as SEVERE, HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW.

We suggest checking alerts first to assess risky transfer activity and then moving to review all alerts at the user level by clicking the unique URL for the user. You can also check the user’s risk score to see if the user is high risk.

You can check user risk score:

• Via the UI: search for the user’s ID in the search bar at the top of the KYT UI. The risk score is found on the user information page as Severe, High, Medium, or Low.
• Via the API: by using the riskScore property in GET /users/{userid}.

3. Take action

Take action on the received funds. For example, you can hold the transfer and submit it to be manually reviewed, immediately freeze the user’s funds, or deem the transfer non-risky.

Chainalysis continually monitors for risk on each registered transfer.

Withdrawal workflow

This is a suggested workflow for funds that are being sent by a user at your organization. Unlike deposits, you can stop a risky withdrawal from occurring if at the time of the withdrawal, the withdrawal address has been identified as risky. For example, if a user requests a withdrawal towards a sanctioned address, you can decide to block this request.

1. Check Withdrawal Address

The withdrawal prescreen is used in real-time to pre-screen for counterparty risk. When a user requests a withdrawal, register the withdrawal address by making a POST request to the /withdrawaladdresses endpoint. For known counterparties, a risk rating of high risk or low risk will be provided, as well as the counterparty’s name.

Note that it is common to withdraw to a previously unknown address, so the majority of addresses you check may have an unknown rating.

2. Take action

After performing the withdrawal address counterparty screen, take action on the pending transfer. You may choose to block a transfer that is high risk, or flag it for further review.

3. Register the transfer

Always be sure to register an approved withdrawal as a sent transfer upon completion so that your team can access it in the compliance dashboard and KYT can monitor the transfer. Note that KYT updates risk for transfers on an ongoing basis, but does not update withdrawal addresses. The latter will always return the rating when the address was first screened.

As with deposits, Chainalysis monitors sent transfers for you over time.

4. Check alerts

Look at the user information page in the UI for the user's associated withdrawal addresses and alerts. Alerts that have a sent direction mean that the withdrawal was approved.

Example compliance actions

Here are some examples of compliance actions taken by our customers when following the workflows above:

“If we notice a withdrawal request towards terrorism financing, we will show the user the withdrawal request is processing and call our Financial Intelligence Unit hotline to ask if they want us to block the transaction (and likely tip off the user) or allow it to occur (for ongoing monitoring).”

“If we detect a direct deposit from a darknet market, we will silently freeze the account. Typically we will file a SAR report, offboard the user, and allow the user to withdraw their funds via a fiat conversion to their bank account.”

“If we detect a pattern of risky (in)direct darknet market transactions, we will freeze the account. Typically we will file a SAR report, offboard the user, and allow the user to withdraw their cryptocurrency.”

“Transfers to mixing services are prohibited on our platform. If we see a withdrawal request to a mixer, we flag the transfer for review and ask the user to explain the purpose of the withdrawal.”

Internal systems

Note that instead of performing these checks manually, you can automate the process by building a response within your own internal systems. See the suggested implementations above for more information. The benefits of automating compliance include:

• Prevent successful money laundering.
• Proactively reduce risky activity from occurring.
• Nudge users toward correct behavior.
• More efficient and meaningful time usage of your compliance team.

transferReference syntax

UTXO based cryptocurrencies

UTXO based transfer example

Transfer is a sent transfer with hash 9022c2d59d1bed792b6449e956b2fe26b44b1043bbc1662d92ecd29526d7f34e and user output address 18SuMh4AFgTSQRvwFzdYGieHtgKDveHtc. The output address is in the 5th place in the transaction.

Select either output address method or output index method.

1. Output address method:

"asset": "BTC",
"transferReference":"2d9bfc3a47c2c9cfd0170198782979ed327442e5ed1c8a752bced24d490347d4:1H7aVb2RZiBmdbnzazQgVj2hWR3eEZPg6v"

2. Output index method:

"asset": "BTC",
"transferReference":"2d9bfc3a47c2c9cfd0170198782979ed327442e5ed1c8a752bced24d490347d4:4"

UTXO based cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, must reference a transaction hash and a corresponding output address or transaction hash index.

Note that the output address is the destination address for funds within the transaction; i.e. where funds are being sent (for a sent transfer) or where funds are being received (in a received transfer). The output for received transactions will be an address you control.

When an output address is used to specify a transfer, the index of the first matching output is used regardless of value.

• Output address format: "transferReference":"transaction hash:output address"

• Output index format: "transferReference":"transaction hash:output index"

Account based cryptocurrencies

Account based transfer example

Basic ether transfer:

"asset": "ETH",
"transferReference":"0xe823c9b7895f9c47985c80e4611272f8194403e885c9cc603422cd609d738098:0x3d21a92285bf17cbdde5f77531b8b58ac400288a"

User is sending funds to a smart contract (note that the output address is the smart contract):

"asset": "USDC",
"transferReference":"0xeb8cff0b134a93da1c8e3ee263ff7a60ed836489a57e38a56c77bd0d0ab8995d:0x39aa39c021dfbae8fac545936693ac917d5e7563”

User is receiving funds from a smart contract (note that the output address belongs to the user):

"asset": "ETH",
"transferReference":"0xce5c4a31b2b6265f2373b5abf319d092ed8d659fa5ba41edf62d9ad61db570d4:0xE1DaC2E83a7Fc3B1C21a6F740eCd8e28cB965F14"

Account based cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum or ERC-20 tokens, require a valid transaction hash and output address (see note above about output addresses).

• Format: "transferReference":"transaction hash:output address"

In the case of a smart contract, this format still holds. The output address can possibly be the smart contract itself if it is receiving funds from a user, or a customer if the smart contract is sending funds out.

Assets

You can send data for additional assets that are not yet fully supported with the POST /v2/users/{userId}/transfers/ endpoint. As soon as KYT supports the coin, the system will automatically backfill any data you've sent and you only have to upload this data once. A list of all assets you can send appears below.

Users

These endpoints allow you to retrieve either all your users or a single user, as well as rename a user.

GET /v1/users/

GET /v1/users/{userId}

POST /v1/users/rename

Users are aggregations of transfers, tagged by User ID. Users in KYT should map 1:1 to users on your platform. Analyzing risk at a user level allows you to compare all the historical transfers made by a user to their current transfer.

The Users endpoint generates risk score reports for all users submitted to Chainalysis KYT. The endpoint supports both a summary format of all users and detailed reporting on specific users when passed a corresponding user ID. You are also able to rename User IDs via the API.

In determining User IDs, it is important to keep the following information in mind:

• You should use the same User ID across all supported asset types. This allows KYT to assess the user risk based on his or her combined activity.
• We encourage you to use an ID which relates to your internal system, as it helps your compliance team quickly find and monitor the users.
• Important: the User ID should not contain personally identifiable information.

Error handling

All successful requests to the KYT API will return a 200 response code.

The KYT API uses the following error codes to identify a bad request:

Error code	Meaning	Description
400	Bad request	May refer to using testnet data, or data in an illegal format - for example non-valid JSON or an object instead of a list.
403	Forbidden	May indicate that your API Key is expired or not being sent properly as the value of the Token HTTP header.
404	Not found	Indicates that you have attempted to reach a page which does not exist - for example either a nonexistent endpoint or a user that does not exist.
406	Not acceptable	Means you are requesting a response format that the API cannot produce. We currently only support JSON output.
409	Conflict	Indicates that there is a conflict of association with another user, such as overlapping addresses.
500	Internal server error	Indicates an error with the server. For POST /transfers/sent and /transfers/received, you should try the request again to ensure the transaction has been screened by Chainalysis. Contact support@chainalysis.com with questions.
503	Service unavailable error	Indicates that the server may be unavailable or not ready to handle the request. For POST /transfers/sent and /transfers/received, you should try the request again later to ensure the transaction has been screened by Chainalysis. Contact support@chainalysis.com with questions.

Glossary

The Chainalysis KYT API uses the following terms for all Asset types tracked:

Address

An Address is a cryptographic hash of a Public and Private key pair that holds value for a given cryptocurrency or token Asset. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that use UTXO based transactions use what is called an "Address". Ethereum and other currencies that use Account based transactions use what is known as an "Account".

Asset

An Asset in KYT is the cryptocurrency or token being tracked (Bitcoin, Tether, etc).

A current list of supported assets by the KYT API can retrieved using the assets endpoint. You can also send data for additional assets and as soon as KYT fully supports the coin, the system will automatically backfill any data you've sent. A list of all assets you can send appears below.

Transfer

A Transfer is the part of a transaction that transfers value from one address to another address. For some asset types like Ethereum each transaction is one transfer, but for asset types like Bitcoin a transaction can contain multiple transfers.

Deposit Address

Deposit addresses are addresses that you manage on behalf of your users, where they can deposit value to your service. A deposit address is always associated with exactly one user, and should never be reused for another user, but a user can have multiple deposit addresses. Deposit addresses can be registered even before they have received value.

Withdrawal Address

Withdrawal addresses are foreign Bitcoin addresses outside your service, to which the user intends to send value. Multiple users might send value to the same withdrawal addresses.

Withdrawal addresses should be registered as early as possible for best results, for instance right when the address is pasted into a withdrawal form. When registering a withdrawal address a real-time rating of the address as a recipient of value is returned. This allows you to take action on suspicious behavior immediately.

Sent Transfer

Sent transfers are the value that your service sends on behalf of a user when the user makes a withdrawal from your service. Regardless of asset type, the transfer will be part of a transaction. A transfer can be registered as soon as its transaction has been created, and even before it has been broadcast to a blockchain. Once a transfer has been registered, KYT will track it.

For some asset types, the transfer will have to “settle” before it is processed by KYT; in Bitcoin we will wait until the transaction is 5 blocks deep to make sure the risk score reflects stable data. Registered transfers that remain unsettled for too long will automatically discard the registered transfer after a timeout of several days.

Received Transfer

Received transfers are the value transfers that your service receives on behalf of a user into their deposit address. Received transfers are registered and processed according to the same rules as sent transfers.

User IDs

All user activity is recorded in the KYT API under a user ID. The API allows you to use any unique user ID within the following constraints:

• The userID must be between 1 and 200 characters.
• Allowed characters are -_:a-zA-Z0-9.
• You should use the same user ID for a user across all supported asset types, as this allows KYT to assess the user risk based on his or her combined activity.
• You are encouraged to use an ID which you can relate to your internal system, as this allows your compliance team to quickly find and monitor the users in KYT.

KYT

KYT is the abbreviation for Know Your Transaction.

Cluster

A cluster is a collection of cryptocurrency addresses that Chainalysis has identified to be controlled by one entity

UTXO

UTXO is the abbreviation for Unspent Transaction Output. UTXO is the method that some cryptocurrencies use to keep track of transactions in their transaction ledger in the Blockchain. UTXO is the amount of unspent cryptocurrency that can be spent in new transactions.

Examples of UXTO transaction based cryptocurrencies include:

• Bitcoin
• Bitcoin Cash
• Litecoin

Account

An Account, sometimes known as a Balance, is the method that some cryptocurrencies and tokens use to keep track of transactions in their transaction ledger in the Blockchain. The Account transaction method keeps track of the total currency in the Account in a global state. This transaction method allows for Smart Contracts to be created that keep track of different states to perform different tasks based on the state.

Examples of Account transaction based cryptocurrencies include:

• Ethereum
• Paxos Standard Token
• TrueUSD
• Tether

Assets

HTTP request

An example request for listing all assets.

curl -X GET 'https://test.chainalysis.com/api/kyt/v1/assets' \
  --header 'Token: <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json'

Chainalysis Data Network assets

You can send data for additional assets that are not yet fully supported with the POST /v2/users/{userId}/transfers/ endpoint. As soon as KYT supports the coin, the system will automatically backfill any data you've sent and you only have to upload this data once. A list of all assets you can send appears below.

Some ERC-20 tokens may require additional input, which are specified below. All ERC-20 tokens must have a valid transaction hash. UTXO based cryptocurrencies must reference a transaction hash and a corresponding output address or transaction hash index. Read more about transfer formats here.

Note that the response when sending additional assets via the API is an empty JSON object. The KYT API does not validate addresses for coins we do not yet support.
