This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry.

Project Overview

FluxTrace is an open-source real-time financial security engine designed to trace illicit funds across graph databases (Neo4j) using Dynamic Taint Scores. It ingests thousands of dynamic financial events per second, mapping transaction topologies and assigning risk scores to connected wallets to expose complex money laundering schemes before funds can be laundered through mixers.
