What is blockchain forensics?
Blockchain forensics is the tracing and analysis of blockchain transactions, wallets, and fund flows to determine where digital assets moved, how wallets may be connected, and what the findings mean for incident response, fraud investigations, exposure assessment, and recovery strategy.
When to contact us?
Suspected crypto-related fraud, ransomware payments, wallet exposure, or urgent digital-asset tracing.
What clients receive?
Actionable intelligence, documented transaction tracing, and reporting suitable for management, counsel, and stakeholders.
Core services for business clients
We investigate and analyse transactions across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other blockchain networks. This includes mapping asset flows, identifying wallet interactions, following funds across hops, and turning raw on-chain data into a usable evidentiary picture.
Typical outputs: wallet mapping, transaction-flow analysis, and structured findings for management or external counsel.
Blockchain Forensics & Transaction Tracing
Ransomware & Crypto Extortion Response
When an incident involves a crypto payment demand or a suspected ransom flow, we support the response team with tracing and intelligence that can help assess exposure, understand counterparties, and document the event timeline.
Typical outputs: ransom-flow tracing, rapid fact-pattern reconstruction, and support for internal decision-making and escalation.
Crypto-native investigations
We work directly with blockchain data and use specialist tooling, including Chainalysis and proprietary methods, to analyse asset movements.
Practical, decision-oriented output
Our work is designed to help business teams act - whether the audience is management, compliance, counsel, insurers, or investigators.
Structured engagement model
For blockchain forensics work, we bill hourly and agree a cost cap in advance, helping clients retain visibility and budget discipline.
Interdisciplinary setup
The services are delivered by Bloctopus Intelligence together with Lemur Legal and Blokiments, enabling a strong bridge between technical findings and practical next steps.
Internal Fraud Investigations
We support businesses facing suspected misappropriation, unauthorised wallet use, or other crypto-enabled internal misconduct. The goal is to establish the facts quickly, preserve clarity, and identify the relevant asset path.
Typical outputs: reconstruction of events, tracing of diverted assets, and investigation support for management, counsel, and dispute strategy.
Incident Response Support
(NIS2 / DORA)
Where a cyber or operational incident intersects with crypto assets, we help organisations move fast on the financial-intelligence side of the response, especially where timelines, escalation duties, or supervisory expectations demand rapid situational clarity.
Typical outputs: incident timeline support, documented findings, and coordination-ready summaries for governance and compliance teams.
