ChainWitness finds where a crypto address was published — sanctions lists, exchange disclosures, research, paste sites, victim reports — and preserves the proof: dated, hashed and ready to show an investigator, a compliance officer or a court.
No card, no plan, no black-box score. Every claim links to its source.
Figures of October 2026.
Every page where an address appears is captured on the spot: full-page screenshot, web archive (WARC), HTML and a manifest with the SHA-256 of each file. If the source changes or disappears, the original capture stays — and anyone can check the hash.
Three datasets repeating one tweet are one source. ChainWitness traces each label back to where it really came from and only calls an attribution corroborated when independent origins agree. When sources disagree, you see both.
Wallets come from the exchanges' own proof-of-reserves — OKX, Binance, Bitfinex, HTX. Where the exchange signs each address, ChainWitness checks the signature. A wallet seen only in third-party lists is shown as a probable exchange, never as fact.
Scam and bait findings from paste sites, and every report from a victim, are read by a person before they go public. Seed phrases and private keys are never shown. Anyone can request a review, and every decision is recorded next to the report.
Sanctions lists, exchange reserves, research, public datasets and paste sites, on a schedule.
Every address checked by format and checksum, on the network the source declares.
Screenshot, WARC, HTML and SHA-256 manifest, stored and never edited.
Independent origins counted; conflicts surfaced, not hidden.
On-chain exposure to sanctioned and scam wallets, and to the exchanges where funds can be frozen.
Exchanges, banks and fintechs screening a counterparty before funds move — with a record of what was known, and when.
Police, expert witnesses and lawyers who need dated, verifiable evidence — exportable as PDF or JSON with every hash.
People tracing where their money went and warning the next person; journalists following scams, hacks and sanctions.
Built from the demands of real cases involving crypto-assets, where chain of custody is non-negotiable and the ecosystem rarely makes it easy.
A finding links an address to published content, not to a person. It tells you where to look; you decide what it means. Read the full disclaimer.
Every list is named, dated and linked. Nothing is scored by a model you cannot inspect.
