Blockchain Transaction
Tracing Service —
Track Stolen Crypto.
Our blockchain transaction tracing investigators deploy advanced on-chain analysis tools, wallet clustering, mixer de-anonymization, and cross-chain blockchain tracing to track exactly where stolen crypto moved — across every hop, every bridge, and every exchange account — building a court-ready blockchain forensics evidence trail.
Blockchain transaction tracing follows stolen crypto across every wallet, bridge, mixer and exchange on the public ledger. BlockTrace traces Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and 40+ chains using graph analysis, wallet clustering and mixer de-anonymization, then identifies the exchange deposit address where funds landed — producing a court-admissible evidence report for freeze requests and legal action.
Every Blockchain. Every Transaction.
Stolen crypto rarely stays on one network. Our blockchain tracing covers all major chains, Layer-2 networks, cross-chain bridges, and protocol wrappers — no matter how many hops the perpetrator uses.
How Blockchain Tracing Works
Blockchain forensics combines on-chain graph analysis with off-chain intelligence to reconstruct exactly where stolen funds traveled — and who controls the destination wallets.
Evidence Collection & Transaction Mapping
We begin with all available evidence: victim wallet addresses, transaction IDs (TXIDs), sending/receiving timestamps, and exchange records. Every identified transaction is added to a case graph — mapping wallet relationships from the very first hop.
Wallet Clustering & Ownership Attribution
Using heuristic clustering (common-input ownership, change-address detection, dust attacks), we group wallets controlled by the same entity. This dramatically expands the view of the attacker's infrastructure — often revealing dozens of related addresses from a single stolen transaction.
Mixer & Bridge De-anonymization
When funds pass through mixers (Wasabi, JoinMarket, Tornado Cash) or cross-chain bridges, we apply timing correlation, amount matching, and OSINT to link inputs to outputs. OFAC-sanctioned address databases and exchange VASP clustering further narrow attribution.
Exchange Endpoint & KYC Attribution
Most stolen crypto eventually reaches a centralized exchange to be cashed out. We identify the specific exchange, deposit address, and — where possible — the account using our proprietary VASP attribution database and direct exchange intelligence partnerships.
Forensic Report & Legal Action Support
You receive a comprehensive, court-ready blockchain evidence report: full transaction graph visualization, wallet attribution table, mixer hop analysis, exchange endpoint identification, chain-of-custody documentation, and expert-signed forensic certification.
Forensic Techniques We Deploy
We combine proprietary blockchain forensics analytics with industry-leading intelligence tools to trace stolen crypto that most investigations give up on.
UTXO Graph Analysis
For Bitcoin and UTXO-based chains, we reconstruct the complete input/output graph — identifying common ownership patterns across all unspent transaction outputs.
- Common-input-ownership heuristic clustering
- Change address detection and re-identification
- Dust attack correlation and tracking
- Peeling chain and consolidation detection
- Coinjoin input/output de-mixing
Mixer De-anonymization
Crypto mixers attempt to sever the link between source and destination. We apply timing, amount, and OSINT correlation to re-establish those links.
- Tornado Cash — timing + denomination matching
- Wasabi / JoinMarket — cluster propagation
- CoinJoin — change output fingerprinting
- OFAC-sanctioned address cross-referencing
- Peel chain tracking through layered hops
Cross-Chain Bridge Tracing
Perpetrators frequently bridge assets to complicate tracing. We track funds across every major bridge and identify destination wallets on the receiving chain.
- Wormhole, LayerZero, Across bridge mapping
- Same-amount output correlation on target chain
- Bridge contract event log analysis
- Wrapped asset unwrap tracking
- Cross-chain wallet ownership correlation
Exchange & VASP Attribution
We maintain a proprietary database of over 10,000 exchange deposit address patterns, enabling fast identification of the specific exchange holding stolen funds. Learn more about our crypto exchange intelligence services.
- Deposit address cluster fingerprinting
- VASP (exchange) ownership attribution
- Sub-account and OTC desk identification
- KYC disclosure request preparation
- Direct exchange compliance team coordination
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
On-chain data alone is often not enough. We combine blockchain forensics with OSINT to build a full picture of the attacker — linking wallets to real-world identities where possible.
- Telegram / Discord scam group infiltration records
- Domain & IP registration linkage
- Social media address mention correlation
- Darknet forum and marketplace cross-reference
- KYC data matching from historic exchange breaches
Smart Contract Forensics
DeFi exploits, rug pulls, and wallet drainers all leave forensic fingerprints in smart contract code and on-chain interactions. We decode them.
- Malicious approval & drain function identification
- Deployer wallet de-anonymization
- Contract code similarity analysis (repeat actors)
- Flash loan attack transaction reconstruction
- Rug pull liquidity removal tracing

Blockchain Tracing FAQ
Everything you need to know before starting a blockchain tracing investigation.
Can blockchain transactions actually be traced after they happen?
Yes — every transaction on a public blockchain is permanently, immutably, and publicly recorded. Unlike bank transfers, stolen crypto cannot be hidden retroactively. Our blockchain tracing tools reconstruct the complete fund flow across every hop, wallet, and exchange — no matter how long ago the transaction occurred. Blockchain forensics has successfully traced funds from years-old transactions.
How long does a blockchain trace take from start to finish?
Emergency blockchain tracing triage begins within 90 minutes of first contact. Simple single-chain traces (e.g., one USDT TRC20 stolen crypto transfer to an exchange) can be completed in 24–48 hours. Complex multi-chain blockchain forensics investigations involving mixers, bridges, and multiple exchange accounts typically take 3–7 days for a complete forensic report.
What information do you need to start a trace?
Minimum required: the wallet address you sent funds to and the transaction hash (TXID). More information helps — including the platform name, any emails or communications with the scammer, exchange receipts, and any other wallet addresses involved. Even incomplete information is enough to begin. We'll request additional details during triage.
Can you trace crypto through mixers like Tornado Cash or Wasabi?
In many cases, yes. Mixers attempt to obfuscate the link between sending and receiving addresses, but they don't make funds invisible. We apply timing correlation, denomination matching, and UTXO chain analysis to re-establish links. For Tornado Cash specifically, OFAC-sanctioned address databases and exchange compliance systems have made many linked wallets identifiable. We always clearly document confidence levels in our reports.
Is blockchain forensic evidence admissible in court?
Yes. Our forensic reports are prepared to court-admissible standards, including full chain-of-custody documentation, methodology disclosure, and expert investigator certification. They have been admitted as evidence in civil and criminal proceedings worldwide, including the UK, USA, EU, Australia, Canada, Singapore, and many other jurisdictions. Our senior investigators can also appear as expert witnesses.
What happens after you identify where the stolen funds are?
When we identify the destination exchange, we prepare a legal hold package — formatted specifically for that exchange's compliance requirements — and file it on your behalf or via your attorney. We also provide the forensic evidence report for law enforcement reporting (FBI IC3, Action Fraud, Europol), civil litigation, and asset freezing applications. Our legal support team can coordinate directly with exchange compliance teams to expedite the freeze process.
Can you trace funds that went through cross-chain bridges?
Yes. Cross-chain bridges are fully traceable. When funds cross a bridge (e.g., ETH → BNB Chain via Wormhole), we identify the bridge contract transaction, match the corresponding output on the destination chain, and continue the trace from there. Same-amount output correlation and bridge event log analysis make this highly reliable across all major bridges.
How much does a blockchain tracing investigation cost?
We offer an initial consultation to assess your stolen crypto case. Blockchain tracing fees depend on complexity — a single-chain USDT trace differs significantly from a multi-chain, multi-mixer, multi-year blockchain forensics investigation. We quote transparently before work begins, with no hidden fees. We do not operate on pure contingency as this would incentivize over-promising outcomes — but we offer structured payment options for complex crypto recovery cases.
Do you offer a Bitcoin tracing service?
Yes — our Bitcoin tracing service uses UTXO graph analysis, common-input ownership heuristics, and change-address detection to follow BTC across every wallet hop. Bitcoin is actually one of the most traceable cryptocurrencies because every UTXO transaction is permanently public. Our Bitcoin tracing has successfully identified exchange endpoints even after funds passed through mixing services such as Wasabi Wallet, JoinMarket, and other CoinJoin implementations.
Can you trace stolen Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens?
Yes. Our Ethereum tracing service follows ETH, USDC, USDT, and all ERC-20 tokens across wallets, DEX swaps, bridges, and smart contract interactions. We decode malicious approval transactions, identify drainer contracts, and trace funds through Tornado Cash using OFAC sanctions data and timing analysis. Cross-chain hops to BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other EVM networks are fully covered in our multi-chain blockchain tracing service.
