Blockchain Forensics

We investigate, track, and analyze transactions within Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other blockchain networks. Our blockchain forensics services include monitoring and interpreting the flow of crypto assets on blockchains. We employ Chainalysis and other latest technologies and proprietary tools to ensure the best possible service for our clients. 

Our approach

 

1. Assessing the chances of success

Our policy is that we require no upfront payment for our services. We only charge a success fee as a percentage of retrieved funds. So, before we start working on specific forensics, we quickly assess the potential success in recovering stolen, frozen, or lost funds. We have complete discretion on which forensics we will be working on.

2. Transaction Tracking


We start our customized service by tracing the transactions' origin and destinations. This activity includes identifying wallets, transaction times, amounts, and, in some cases, associated IP addresses.

3. Blockchain Transaction Analysis

(pattern analysis)


Using Chainalysis and other sophisticated tools and techniques, our forensic experts trace and analyze blockchain transactions across an extensive range of crypto assets.

4. We act fast

In case of stolen funds, we monitor specific crypto wallets and use our extensive network of contacts at various crypto exchanges and crypto custodial service providers to stop the transfer of crypto funds over the blockchain networks. If successful, the funds are frozen until we prove they were stolen. 

5. If needed, we play slow

Sometimes, stolen funds take time to move. In such cases, we “color” the stolen crypto funds and monitor any movements from the wallets where these funds are stored. Once funds transfer to a crypto exchange, we act. In the best-case scenario 

6. What we deliver

At the end of our work, we deliver a forensics report that explains the flow of digital assets, including visual diagrams. The report can be readily used by law enforcement.

How do we charge our services?

Our core business policy is that we offer our support only in cases we believe our services would benefit our clients. For our services, we charge only a success fee, which ranges between 15-30% of retrieved assets.

For other services, where the goal of our service is not supported in retrieving stolen or frozen assets, we charge based on our hourly rate fee of 200,00 EUR/h. 

  • What is blockchain forensics?
    Blockchain forensics, a subdivision of digital forensics, employs blockchain data analysis to investigate criminal behavior, including illegal transactions and fraud within blockchain networks. To conduct the forensics, different tools are used. Some are publicly available (Blockchain Explorer, Etherscan), and some are professional analysis platforms, such as Chainalysis.
  • What can blockchain forensics uncover?
    Blockchain forensics can uncover suspicious transactions, trace the flow of crypto funds, identify crypto addresses associated with criminal activities, and provide insights into the movement of digital assets on the blockchain.
  • What types of blockchains and cryptocurrencies does your service support?
    Our blockchain forensics service supports a wide range of blockchains and cryptocurrencies, including popular ones like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and others.
  • What information or data do you require to conduct blockchain forensics?
    We typically require blockchain transaction data, wallet addresses, and any relevant information related to the investigation. The more information provided, the more comprehensive our analysis can be. Once we start communication with you, we will be providing you with the instructions on which information we need and in what format.
  • How long does it take to complete a blockchain forensics investigation?
    The duration of an investigation varies depending on the complexity of the case and the volume of data involved. We strive to provide timely and efficient results, and the timeline will be communicated at the outset.
  • Can your service recover lost or stolen cryptocurrency?
    While we can help trace the movement of cryptocurrency on the blockchain, the recovery of lost or stolen funds may involve additional legal and procedural steps that are beyond the scope of blockchain forensics alone. We use the network to do all we can in order to prevent further movement of the stolen funds and their final recovery.
  • How can I get started with your blockchain forensics service?
    To get started, simply contact us via email or phone, and our team will guide you through the process, including the required information and the scope of the investigation.
  • Is my identity and the information I provide during the investigation kept confidential?
    Yes, we prioritize the confidentiality of our clients and the information they provide. We maintain strict data protection measures to safeguard your identity and the sensitive data involved in the investigation.
  • Can your blockchain forensics service assist in resolving disputes or recovering lost funds in cryptocurrency transactions?
    While we can provide valuable insights into cryptocurrency transactions, dispute resolution, and fund recovery may require legal assistance or collaboration with relevant authorities.
  • Does your blockchain forensics service cover smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps)?
    Yes, our service extends to the analysis of smart contracts and activities on decentralized applications, allowing us to identify potential vulnerabilities and suspicious behavior.
  • Can your blockchain forensics service track privacy-focused cryptocurrencies or transactions conducted on privacy-oriented blockchains?
    While some privacy-focused cryptocurrencies pose unique challenges, our team utilizes advanced techniques to trace and analyze transactions even in privacy-oriented blockchains.
  • What is the cost structure for your blockchain forensics service?
    Our fee model is simple - we get a certain percentage of the retrieved crypto funds (“success fee”). The total percentage depends on the complexity of the investigation, the volume of data to be analyzed, and the resources required. We offer transparent pricing and can provide a tailored quote after assessing your specific needs.
  • Can your service provide expert testimony in court if required?
    Yes, our team comprises experts who are well-versed in blockchain forensics and can provide expert testimony in legal proceedings when necessary.
  • Is your blockchain forensics service limited to criminal investigations, or can it also assist in fraud prevention for businesses?
    Our service can be utilized for both criminal investigations and proactive fraud prevention in various sectors, including financial institutions, e-commerce, and cryptocurrency businesses.
