Elementus
Elementus is a New York-based blockchain intelligence company that adds an identity layer to raw on-chain data, letting banks, regulators, government agencies and investigators trace crypto transactions, score risk, detect sanctions exposure and follow the money across multiple chains. Founded in 2018 by data scientist Max Galka, the company pairs proprietary attribution data with forensic algorithms and became widely known for mapping the flow of funds in the Celsius and BlockFi bankruptcies.

Mriganka Pattnaik is the co-founder and CEO of Merkle Science, a blockchain transaction monitoring and forensics company he started in 2018 after seeing, from inside crypto exchange Luno, how badly banks and regulators wanted a way to track illicit crypto flows. Under his lead, Merkle Science has raised over $24 million in Series A funding from investors including Kraken Ventures, Digital Currency Group, BECO Capital, and Susquehanna's Darrow Holdings, and now sells its 'Know Your Transaction' tools to VASPs, financial institutions, and law enforcement.
