Frequently asked questions
How is Elliptic priced?
Elliptic publishes no list pricing; deals are quote-based enterprise contracts. The site offers a demo and a free trial, and separately sells training and certification plans. Expect the contract to scale with blockchains covered, screening volume and the number of users, so agree a written scope before committing.
Which blockchains and assets does Elliptic cover?
The vendor states coverage of 65+ blockchains, bridges and tokens, representing 99% of global trading volume, built on 1B+ labelled crypto addresses and over a decade of proprietary attribution data.
What security certifications does Elliptic hold?
Its security page states SOC 2 Type 2 against all five AICPA Trust Services Criteria, plus ISO 27001 for information security, ISO 22301 for business continuity, ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environment. Live posture documentation is available through its Trust Centre. No GDPR, HIPAA or FedRAMP claim appears there.
How long does implementation take?
Elliptic does not publish an implementation timeline. Onboarding is vendor-guided and involves API integration into screening, monitoring and investigation workflows, so budget four to six weeks to first production value and confirm scope milestones with the vendor.
Does Elliptic use AI, and will it train on our data?
Elliptic describes agentic AI that runs routine screening and investigation inside regulated workflows, plus a copilot referenced by a customer. Its privacy notice says AI processing of personal data occurs under legitimate interests, or with consent when you enable AI features. It makes no statement about training models on customer data, so treat that as unconfirmed.
Who typically uses Elliptic?
Banks and financial institutions, crypto exchanges and custodians, payment service providers, stablecoin issuers, and government or law enforcement agencies, based on the customer stories and solutions listed by the vendor.
