When a lookup is not enough, an expert takes the case.
ChainWitness shows where an address was published. Some cases need more: following the money across wallets, swaps and chains, finding where it reached an exchange, and putting it all in a report a lawyer, a compliance team or a court can use. Every case is handled by a person, not by a script.

Funds often move again weeks or months later, sometimes into an exchange where a freeze becomes possible. Both services include 12 months of monitoring of the investigated addresses and a report kept up to date for 12 months: when something relevant happens, you get an alert and, at most once a month, a new signed version of the report, at no extra cost.

How it works
You pay only after we confirm the case can be worked on.
Step 1
Tell us the case
Addresses, transaction hashes, dates and what happened. The form takes five minutes.
Step 2
Feasibility review
Free, within 2 business days. We say whether the trail can be followed and how far, or tell you honestly that it can't.
Step 3
Proposal and payment
Fixed price for the report, or a written proposal for consulting. Invoice from chainwitness.net only.
Step 4
Report and walkthrough
Signed PDF, evidence pack with hashes and a walkthrough call. Then 12 months of monitoring and updated versions of the report.
What to expect, honestly
An investigation shows where the money went and who received it. Recovering it depends on what happens next: an exchange agreeing to freeze an account, a lawyer, the police or a court. Our report is built to make those steps faster and stronger.
Traceable: funds that stayed on-chain, went through DEXs or bridges, or reached a regulated exchange.
Harder: mixers, privacy coins and instant exchangers without identification. We say so in the feasibility review.
Confidential: case details are never published on ChainWitness without your written consent.
What we will never do
Promise that your funds will be recovered
Ask for your recovery phrase, private key or wallet access
Charge a "release fee", "tax" or "unlock fee" to return funds
Contact you first offering to recover money
Ask for payment to anything other than an invoice from chainwitness.net
"Recovery agents" who do any of these are a second scam targeting victims. If someone claims to be ChainWitness, check through the contact page.

Questions
Can you get my money back?
No one can promise that honestly. We find where the funds went and document it so an exchange, a lawyer or the authorities can act. Speed matters: the sooner the trail is documented, the better the chance a freeze still works.
Who signs the report?
Every report is signed by an Expert Witness and Court-Appointed Forensic Expert in digital forensics, who can explain the findings to lawyers, authorities or a court. Reports are written in English, or in Portuguese or Spanish on request.
Is the report accepted in court?
The report describes the methodology, the sources and the limits of each finding, and every capture is preserved with its hash. How it is weighed depends on the jurisdiction and the court; many clients attach it to a lawyer's filing or a police report.
What if the trail goes cold?
The feasibility review tells you before you pay. If it stops later, at a mixer or a non-cooperating service, the report says exactly where and why.
What happens after the report is delivered?
For 12 months we monitor the investigated addresses. If the funds move, reach an exchange or a new public mention appears, you get an alert, and the report is updated with a new signed version (at most once a month). After 12 months you can renew the monitoring or keep the last version.
How do I pay?
By card, bank transfer or crypto (USDT, BTC), always against an invoice issued from chainwitness.net after the feasibility review.
