Chain Trace Labs helps financial crime units, cybercrime teams, and asset recovery officers trace crypto funds, review case intelligence, organise evidence, generate freeze-support documents, and prepare structured law-enforcement packages from a single investigative workflow.
Law enforcement teams often know crypto was involved but still need a reliable way to trace funds, preserve evidence, organise case intelligence, and prepare exchange or legal outreach without juggling multiple disconnected tools.
Funds can move across wallets and exchanges quickly. Investigators need a workflow that can trace movement, preserve context, and highlight likely exchange endpoints before the trail becomes harder to interpret.
Investigators need more than explorer screenshots. Reports, evidence records, custody notes, and supporting documentation all matter when a case is being escalated internally or externally.
Funds frequently cross blockchain networks, move through exchanges in multiple jurisdictions, and involve suspects in different countries. Building a multi-jurisdictional evidence picture requires specialist multi-chain capability most units lack in-house.
Tracing, evidence handling, freeze-support drafting, monitoring, and case notes are more useful when they sit in one case workflow instead of being spread across separate tools and documents.
Six practical ways financial crime units, cybercrime teams, and asset recovery officers can use the platform for tracing, evidence handling, monitoring, and case preparation.
When a trace reaches a likely exchange endpoint, investigators can organise the flow evidence, review jurisdiction context, and generate exchange-facing preservation or freeze-support documents directly from the case workflow.
Prepare structured reporting outputs from the case record, including trace summaries, evidence indexes, methodology notes, document drafts, and LE package materials that can be reviewed before external use.
Investigators can trace victim or incident-related wallets, review path quality, store secondary branches, and build a more complete intelligence picture around exchange exposure, sanctions risk, and cross-case recurrence.
Use case intelligence, indicator review, and available dark-web or risk signals to capture investigative context around wallets, emails, domains, handles, and infrastructure linked to the case.
Where a case starts from a victim report, investigators can use the same workflow to review submitted evidence, trace the relevant transactions, preserve outputs, and decide whether escalation, monitoring, or exchange outreach is warranted.
The agency workflow supports team access, case assignments, tasking, evidence review, and structured handoff so investigators can work from one case record instead of passing material across disconnected spreadsheets and email threads.
Chain Trace Labs fits into the investigation process by helping teams move from intake to tracing, evidence handling, monitoring, and document preparation inside one case record.
A wallet address or transaction hash is identified during the investigation - from a victim report, intelligence source, open source research, or exchange cooperation. The identifier is the starting point for the trace.
The investigator submits a wallet address, transaction hash, or related case data into the agency workflow, adds context, and selects the relevant chain or case path for review.
The forensic engine can trace up to 300 hops on advanced workflows, retain meaningful branches, classify wallets and entities, and highlight sanctions, mixer, bridge, exchange, and other case-relevant signals where available.
The investigator can review the trace output, evidence records, monitoring status, freeze-support drafts, legal-support documents, and law-enforcement package materials generated from the case data.
Use the reporting outputs, evidence records, and support documents to progress exchange outreach, internal review, partner-counsel coordination, or agency escalation according to your own procedure.
Advanced workflows can continue beyond shallow routing so investigators can review primary and secondary paths instead of stopping at the first superficial conclusion.
Any officer can submit a case. The platform handles tracing, screening, classification, reporting structure, and document generation in a more accessible workflow for operational teams.
Agency plans from $ 149/month. Investigate every crypto case - not just the highest-value ones - within your operational budget.
Each advanced case can generate structured outputs from the underlying trace, evidence vault, intelligence records, monitoring status, and document workflow rather than leaving investigators with raw explorer screenshots.
Primary and reviewed secondary branches, transaction identifiers, timestamps, amounts, and explorer references captured from the tracing workflow, with support for deeper advanced tracing.
Wallets can be reviewed for sanctions, mixer, exchange, and related risk signals where available so investigators can see why a path matters, not just where it moved.
Generate exchange-facing drafts and supporting summaries from the case file so investigators can prepare preservation or freeze outreach with the relevant case context attached.
Visual fund-flow summaries support internal briefing, investigative review, and structured reporting around where funds moved and where meaningful endpoints were reached.
Methodology summaries, case notes, and supporting narrative can be generated from the investigative workflow to give teams a clearer record of how the trace was reviewed.
Uploaded files, hashes, timestamps, uploader details, review notes, and custody-linked records help teams preserve a cleaner chain of evidence inside the case workspace.
A practical view of what the platform adds to an investigation workflow compared with manual handling alone.
| Capability | Manual handling | Separate specialist tools | Chain Trace Labs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Case-based tracing workflow | Fragmented | Depends on stack | Built into each case |
| Evidence vault and custody records | Manual | Often separate | Included |
| Multi-chain coverage | Limited | Varies | Supported across major chains |
| OFAC / sanctions screening | Manual lookup | Yes | Automated, every hop |
| Methodology and reporting outputs | Rarely | Yes | Structured and case-linked |
| Freeze request letters generated | Manual drafting | Extra cost | Included in Tier 3 |
| Monitoring and follow-up alerts | No | Often separate | Available in-platform |
| Audit trail and case notes | No | Yes | Case-linked workflow record |
| Multi-officer case access | No | No | Agency plan - team access |
| No specialist training needed | Blockchain knowledge needed | Handled externally | Any officer can submit |
Each case can keep trace outputs, evidence records, review notes, and supporting documents together so investigators are not reconstructing the file later.
Case data is isolated per unit. No inter-agency data sharing without explicit case sharing. Encryption at rest and in transit. Suitable for sensitive and covert investigations.
Tracing does not stop at a single route. Teams can review branches, monitoring, freeze-support drafting, and legal-support outputs from the same case workflow.
No blockchain certification. No specialist training. Any officer submits a transaction ID and selects the chain. The platform handles all technical analysis and produces plain-English results.
Use one operational workflow for tracing, evidence handling, monitoring, freeze-support drafts, and law-enforcement package preparation. Agency subscriptions include team access and onboarding support.
