## Overview

The Institutional Vault integrates [Chainalysis](https://www.chainalysis.com/) for real-time transaction risk assessment. This integration allows for risk analysis of every transaction using Chainanalysis's advanced data analytics and ensures high security and compliance.

It provides real-time alerts to monitor high-risk blockchain transactions. These alerts help financial institutions, crypto businesses, and sanctioned activities before transactions are processed.
