TRON founder Justin Sun unveiled an AI-powered detective system designed to analyze complex crypto fraud cases and identify suspects. The platform, hosted on web3bounty.io, is designed to assist judicial authorities in solving crypto crimes and meeting investor expectations. Sun noted that more than $1 billion in criminal cases have already been analyzed to date, and the project plans to allocate 10% of the total bounty as rewards for white-hat contributors and for the involved law enforcement agencies. The AI-based detective will be implemented initially in collaboration with authorities in China, Hong Kong, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates.
TRM Labs’ Esteban Castaño described the approach as enabling investigators to have an agent on every case, complementing human expertise rather than replacing it. Sun’s team said the AI-detective platform has already closed cases and named suspects such as FDT, Vincent Chok, Aria, and Matthew William Brittain. Earlier, the platform investigated the First Digital Trust and ARIA cases, which involved the misappropriation of $456 million in TUSD assets, and a $50 million bounty was posted for tips leading to asset recovery. These cases highlight licensed Hong Kong trust companies and intermediaries suspected of exploiting regulatory loopholes to move assets worth over half a billion dollars in escrow.
Justin Sun launches AI detective, revolutionizing crypto forensics with $100M bounty. The crypto community flags privacy and conflict-of-interest risks; the initiative follows broader industry moves into on-chain AI security, including Bybit’s recovery after a $1.5B hack and the Ethereum Foundation’s dAI team. ON-CHAIN AI SYSTEMS BECOME A GROWING CRYPTO TREND. Tron is not alone in this pursuit of AI-driven security.
