Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)-based blockchain project Aleo has entered into a strategic partnership with global blockchain risk intelligence company Merkle Science.

Through this collaboration, the Aleo ecosystem will fully integrate behavior-based risk monitoring and forensic capabilities.

Aleo will integrate Merkle Science’s products through this partnership:

• Behavior-based abnormal transaction detection solution “Compass”
• Cross-chain forensic tracking tool “Tracker”

Compass moves away from traditional static blacklist-based anti-money laundering (AML) methods by detecting anomalies through real-time analysis of actual on-chain behavioral patterns. Tracker can trace complex fund flows, enhancing counterparty due diligence and regulatory reporting capabilities.

The core highlights are the “selective information disclosure” and “audit-only view” features. Validators, financial institutions, and regulated entities can submit only the minimum necessary proof data when required, with virtually all transactions remaining fully private.

The goals of this partnership include:

• Reducing the development and deployment time for privacy-preserving applications
• Accelerating the onboarding of institutional investors and financial institutions to Aleo
• Expanding communication channels with global regulatory authorities

Leena Im, COO of the Aleo Network Foundation, stated: “Our partnership with Merkle Science marks a decisive turning point for Aleo. We are proving that privacy and accountability are not mutually exclusive, but can coexist. By adhering to zero-knowledge proof principles while meeting the security and risk management requirements of institutions and regulators, we will accelerate the mass adoption of privacy-centric applications in the real economy.”
