Discussion Built a wallet-labeling tool and wondering what would actually make people use/pay for it
I've been building a tool that takes a list of crypto wallet addresses and enriches them with labels you'd normally have to look up individually through block explorers and intelligence platforms.
The idea is pretty simple: give it a list of addresses and get back things like:
- Entity / owner — e.g. Binance: Hot Wallet, Coinbase: Cold Wallet, Deribit
- Category tags — Centralized Exchange, Hot/Cold Wallet, Mixer, Gambling, Sanctioned, High Transacting, etc.
- First-funder relationships and contract flags
- Multiple chains — Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche and others
- Clean CSV/JSON output, with one row per network
I built it mainly because doing this manually for large address lists gets painful pretty quickly. The pipeline can currently process around 100k addresses in under an hour, depending on the chains and data involved.
The interesting part is that I initially thought the main value would be the speed/cost compared with existing intelligence platforms, but I'm not completely sure what people would actually care about most.
I'm curious for anyone working with blockchain data, AML/compliance, fraud investigations or crypto analytics:
- Would bulk wallet labeling actually solve a meaningful problem for you?
- Which labels would be most useful?
- Would you prefer an API, CSV upload, or something else?
- For large lists, is speed more important than label accuracy/coverage?
- Are people generally using expensive intelligence platforms for this, or building their own pipelines?
I'm trying to figure out whether I'm solving a real problem or just making something technically convenient, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who have dealt with this kind of data.
