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that helps law enforcement, crypto exchanges, DeFi services, and stablecoin issuers stop illicit funds before they are withdrawn.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.
Verified investigators (exchanges, law enforcement, and security firms) flag illicit addresses in TRM
Flagged funds are auto-traced in real time as they move across the blockchain
When flagged funds reach an exchange or financial institution, Beacon Network immediately sends an alert
Exchanges and issuers can review risk, work with law enforcement, and act before withdrawals occur
Real results: Disrupting illicit crypto offramping
Exchanges have already blocked millions in illicit funds, stopping bad actors before they cash out
A law enforcement agency traced funds linked to a global scam. Through Beacon Network, they alerted exchanges in time to help freeze $1.5 million before it could be withdrawn.
Investigators identified scam-related deposits at a major exchange. Beacon Network alerts enabled rapid coordination, putting $800,000 on track for return to victims.
A bridge protocol using TRM’s API blocked 100% of attempts from flagged scam addresses.
A global exchange flagged scammer wallets after an impersonation attack. When funds reached a prepaid crypto card service, the withdrawals were blocked and linked devices were blocklisted.
