Crypto Scam Detection & Prevention Tool

Crypto ATMs are becoming vectors for scams that cause real harm. Build a verification platform that flags suspicious crypto transactions, ATM locations, and wallet addresses in real-time. Target crypto users, exchanges, and regulators who need better fraud detection.

Crypto ATM fraud has become a documented law enforcement priority — the FTC reported over $110 million lost to crypto ATM scams in 2023 alone, and regulators are actively pushing for compliance mandates on ATM operators, which creates a real procurement pathway beyond just end users. Coinbase and Chainalysis both touch adjacent territory (wallet screening, transaction monitoring), but neither is focused specifically on the ATM vector or built for the small exchange and kiosk operator segment. The $2k–10k/mo revenue band is plausible if sold as a compliance API to ATM operators, who have regulatory pressure to act and limited internal tooling, though it's tight if the motion is direct-to-consumer. The biggest risk is data access: meaningful detection requires real-time transaction data and wallet intelligence feeds that cost money to license, and without proprietary data network effects, this becomes a thin wrapper on Chainalysis or Elliptic that those incumbents can replicate with a single product update.
