Trace funds
Follow transfers across addresses, assets, exchanges and bridges to reconstruct the path of value.
Start an inquiry →Map relationships
Study wallet clusters, counterparties and recurring patterns instead of isolated transactions.
Start an inquiry →Build the case
Bring timelines, transaction references and observations into one readable research record.
Start an inquiry →Research the network, not just the token.
Compare cryptoassets through technology, market structure and on-chain behavior.
Compare the mechanics behind crypto.
Explore differences in consensus, supply design, programmability, settlement and typical on-chain use. The comparison below is qualitative and intended as a research starting point.
A simple crypto comparison lens.
Use this as a starting point for deeper research—not as financial advice.
| Dimension | Bitcoin | Ethereum | Solana | Stablecoins |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary role | Value / settlement | Programmable network | High-throughput network | Dollar-denominated token |
| Smart contracts | Limited | Native ecosystem | Native ecosystem | Depends on issuing chain |
| Supply design | Fixed maximum | Protocol-managed | Protocol-managed | Issuer / reserve dependent |
| Research lens | UTXO flows, holders, exchanges | Contracts, tokens, bridges | Programs, tokens, throughput | Issuer exposure, redemptions, flows |
Advanced recovery research.
Structured research for compromised wallets, misdirected transfers and complex on-chain asset trails.
Asset tracing
Reconstruct transaction paths across wallets, exchanges, bridges and supported networks to identify where assets moved.
Open recovery inquiry →Cross-chain analysis
Connect activity across multiple chains and identify continuity between addresses, contracts and transfer events.
Open recovery inquiry →Recovery intelligence
Produce a documented evidence trail that can support exchanges, legal teams, investigators or other authorized recovery processes.
Open recovery inquiry →Start with the transaction evidence.
Provide public wallet addresses, transaction hashes, dates, networks and a concise description of the incident. Never submit seed phrases, private keys or passwords.
