Web3 lost $4 billion to fraud in 2025. Most fraud detection tools were built for wallet providers and CEXs — not DApps. ChainAware is the only platform purpose-built for DApps: behavioral wallet screening at connection, zero-code GTM deploy, 98% fraud accuracy, MiCA-aligned at 1% of Chainalysis cost.
DeFi protocols are being sold CeFi compliance stacks at $100K–$500K+/year — built for banks, not smart contracts. This 2026 comparison covers every major DeFi compliance tool — Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs, Scorechain, and ChainAware — and explains which obligations actually apply to DeFi protocols and which tools deliver real MiCA coverage at a fraction of the cost.
Forensic tools like Chainalysis, Elliptic, and TRM Labs trace funds after crimes occur — reactive, backward-looking, dependent on known bad actors.
