ChainwatchCrypto—blockchain intelligence and investigative operationsAll systems operational
For law enforcement

Crypto asset recovery for law enforcement.

Blockchain forensics support for investigators and prosecutors: fund-flow reconstruction, entity attribution with stated confidence, and evidence written to survive disclosure and cross-examination.

What we are, and are not

We are an analytical provider. We hold no police powers and no statutory authority. We cannot seize, freeze, arrest, compel or search, and we do not represent ourselves as able to.

What we produce is analysis an authority can act on, with its reasoning and its uncertainty both on the record.

How does blockchain forensics support law enforcement?

Blockchain forensics reconstructs how funds moved between addresses and services, attributes activity to known entities with a stated confidence level, and identifies the regulated service where an investigative request can realistically be directed. It produces analytical evidence for warrants, disclosure and court. It does not itself seize, freeze or compel anything.

Capabilities

What we can provide to an investigation.

01

Fund-flow reconstruction

Transaction paths across addresses, bridges and services on supported networks, with every hop referenced to the underlying on-chain record so the analysis can be independently reproduced.

02

Attribution with confidence levels

Clustering and entity attribution presented with the heuristic used and the confidence it warrants — not as bare assertion. Where a label is inferred rather than observed, the report says so.

03

Intervention-point identification

Identification of the regulated services along a path, so a request for records or a preservation demand can be directed to a party who can actually act on it.

04

Evidentiary reporting

Reports structured for disclosure: methodology stated, data sources identified, limitations declared, and findings separated from inference. What a report contains.

05

Monitoring and alerting

Continuous monitoring of addresses of interest, with alerting on movement and exposure change during a live investigation.

06

Review of third-party analysis

Independent assessment of blockchain analysis produced by another party, including whether its stated confidence is supported by the underlying data.

Constraints

The limits, stated before you rely on us.

An analytical provider that does not publish its constraints is a liability in a proceeding, not an asset.

What we cannot do

×Seize, freeze, arrest, compel or search — we hold no police powers
×Compel cooperation from any exchange or service
×Identify the natural person behind an address from chain data alone
×Reverse a settled transaction
×Provide legal advice, or substitute for prosecutorial judgement

Where analysis degrades

×Mixing services and privacy tooling, which break linkage by design
×Cross-chain transfers where no destination transaction can be matched
×Attribution that has aged — service address sets change, and stale labels are wrong labels
×Clustering heuristics defeated by CoinJoin and similar constructions

Each of these is documented in our published research rather than discovered mid-proceeding.

Working with us

Evidentiary standards we hold ourselves to.

StandardHow it is met
ReproducibilityEvery figure traces to an on-chain record another analyst can independently verify. No conclusion rests on a proprietary number that cannot be checked.
Stated methodologyReports name the heuristics applied and the assumptions behind them, so the method can be examined rather than merely the conclusion.
Confidence expressionFindings are graded. Observed facts, supported inferences and speculation are separated and labelled, never blended into a single assertion.
Declared limitationsEvery report states what it does not establish. A trace that ends at a mixer is reported as ending at a mixer.
Chain of custodyEvidence handling is logged, versioned and attributable, so the provenance of an exhibit can be demonstrated.
Model governanceRisk model weights and bands are published and versioned, so a score produced on one date can be explained on a later one.
Data honesty

Every address, hash, score and case identifier shown in our product interface is synthetic, illustrative data, marked as such. We publish no success rates, recovered-funds totals or case counts. If a figure is not evidenced, we do not publish it — a standard we would rather be held to in a witness box than have to explain.
