Terms and notices
What ChainWitness does, what its reports mean, how to ask for a review, and how we handle personal data. Last updated 10 October 2026.
About ChainWitness reports
ChainWitness is an open-source-intelligence collection and preservation tool. Our work consists of locating, recording and preserving, with verifiable date and integrity, publicly accessible content that mentions a given cryptoasset address.
The link presented is between an address and a published piece of content, not between an address and a person. Collected content may be inaccurate, outdated, biased, satirical or deliberately false. Third-party publications may contain typographical errors, reused addresses, mistaken attributions or unproven accusations.
Furthermore, the presence of an address in a given context does not imply that its holder took part in the events described there. Addresses are frequently cited by victims, researchers, journalists and authorities, and a single address may pass through many hands over time.
Accordingly, the results presented here constitute leads to be investigated, not conclusions. They should be read alongside other evidence and submitted to qualified technical and legal analysis before supporting any decision, whether commercial, editorial, disciplinary or judicial.
The notice on every report
Every address report and preview carries this notice:
This report documents public mentions of a cryptoasset address found on the internet. ChainWitness attests that the cited content was accessible at the stated URL on the stated date, and preserves the corresponding capture. ChainWitness does not attest to the truth of third-party content, and does not assert that the address holder committed any unlawful act.
Reviews and corrections
If you believe a link recorded here is mistaken, incomplete or harmful to your rights, you may request a review through our contact channel. We will examine the request, record it alongside the report, and correct or annotate the entry where warranted. Because our captures document what third parties published, we will not alter the preserved evidence itself, but we will make any contest or correction visible next to it.
Use the review request form. If you control the wallet, you can sign a message with it to prove control; that proves control today, not at the time a source was published. If an IP address, domain, email or file hash listed next to the address is yours, say which one. Every request is read by a person; nothing is removed or changed automatically. A decision can add a note next to an item or take it off the public pages; the preserved capture itself is never edited.
Privacy and personal data
ChainWitness follows Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law 13,709/2018). Our privacy policy explains what personal data we process, why, for how long, where, and your rights.
Our crawler
ChainWitnessBot collects only from a short, hand-curated list of public sources and respects robots.txt, except where a site's owner authorized us or its terms of use expressly allow automated collection. See how it works and how to opt out.
Price
ChainWitness is currently free: no card, no plan. We may offer paid services in the future. If we do, we will announce them in advance, and nothing that is free today will start charging without your consent.
