As the digital asset market continues to expand, blockchain technology is increasingly being applied across a broad spectrum of domains. However, this growth has brought about a series of new risk issues, making traditional Know Your Customer (KYC) measures insufficient, especially in the context of malicious cross-blockchain transfers. In response to this challenge, Know Your Transaction (KYT) has emerged as an effective solution, helping to identify and mitigate harmful activities within the blockchain ecosystem.
First, it’s important to understand what constitutes a malicious cross-blockchain transfer. Essentially, these are transactions where attackers exploit vulnerabilities between different blockchains to move funds from one place to another for illicit gain. The primary goal is to take advantage of the decentralized nature of blockchains to evade traditional financial monitoring methods. Such actions pose a significant threat to both the security of the blockchain and the financial safety of its users. However, the emergence of KYT has made it possible to change this scenario.

Understanding Transaction Details: Before executing any transaction, users should thoroughly understand the details, including the sender, recipient, amount, and purpose. Particular attention should be paid to transactions that significantly exceed normal amounts or where the purpose is unclear, as these may indicate the possibility of malicious cross-blockchain transfers.

Observing Transaction Paths: Normal transaction paths usually involve only one blockchain, while cross-blockchain transactions involve multiple chains. By closely monitoring the trajectory of these transactions — noting the number and nature of the blockchains involved — users can gauge the likelihood of a transfer being malicious. This vigilant observation is key in preemptively recognizing and mitigating risks.

Checking Transaction Records: A user’s blockchain account may display unusual transaction records, which could be indicative of cross-blockchain malicious transfers. By comparing transaction logs across various blockchains, one can identify discrepancies or unusual patterns that deviate from normative behavior, providing a basis for further investigation and action.
