Blockchain-Enabled Solutions to Identify Users behind Drug Trafficking on Encrypted Platforms

The increasing use of encrypted messaging platforms such as Telegram, WhatsApp, and Instagram has facilitated illegal activities, including drug trafficking. This paper explores a blockchain-based approach to enhance law enforcement capabilities in identifying and tracking individuals engaged in such activities. The system integrates blockchain analytics, AI-driven behavior analysis, and cybersecurity tools to trace cryptocurrency transactions, monitor suspicious content, and provide a tamper-proof evidence management system. The proposed solution ensures privacy compliance while enhancing investigation capabilities.
