What is Beacon Network?

Beacon Network is a real-time intelligence-sharing system that helps law enforcement, crypto exchanges, DeFi services, and stablecoin issuers stop illicit funds before they are withdrawn. Built by TRM Labs in collaboration with leading industry players, this crypto crime response network enables verified investigators to flag addresses linked to financial crime, immediately alerting exchanges and triggering risk-based responses.

A critical moment for crypto security

Crypto crime is evolving, and fragmented responses allow bad actors to exploit gaps. Recent hacks show how quickly stolen funds can move. Exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and law enforcement need a coordinated, real-time system to track and triage illicit assets before they disappear.
