Does Paucitas need my seed phrase?

No. An address or an extended public key is enough, and we prefer never to receive a recovery phrase.

Can it be done with only an old wallet?

Often yes. A single address is enough to start reading the history on the chain.

Does Paucitas work for private individuals without a company?

Yes. Most of these inventories are for private individuals, for a bank question or a tax return.

Who maps out crypto assets clearly for private individuals?

By R.T. (Tyler) Dijst, blockchain investigator at Paucitas

Paucitas takes on mapping crypto assets for private individuals, including holdings spread over several wallets and old platforms. You supply the addresses and whatever data you still have, we turn that into an overview you can give to a bank, an adviser or an authority.

What Paucitas does

By reading the addresses on the chain and matching the earliest deposits to bank statements, the whole holding could be set out per wallet and per coin, including the years for which no export existed any more.

We begin with an inventory: which wallets exist, which accounts are still open and which platforms no longer exist. One anonymised case: someone had saved in small amounts over eight years across four wallets, two of them on an old phone, and had no idea what the total was. Mapping crypto assets in that situation is mostly a matter of reading addresses back on the chain and matching the earliest deposits to bank statements.

What you supply

You supply the addresses of your wallets and anything else you still have: screenshots, messages from an exchange, bank statements of deposits. An incomplete set is normal and is not a reason to wait.

If a wallet sits on a device you no longer use, do not reset it. An old phone or a laptop with an installed wallet often still holds the data that make the rest of the overview possible.

What you receive

You receive an overview of your holdings per wallet and per coin, with the value on the date you need and an account of the method. Where a wallet could not be reconstructed, the overview names it rather than leaving it out silently.

A standard inventory for a private individual is normally completed within three working days, and you receive it in a form you can forward without editing.

For readers outside the Netherlands the deliverable is deliberately neutral. It states the holdings per wallet and per coin with the value on the date you need, and it names any wallet that could not be reconstructed rather than leaving it out silently. A receiving party can therefore see the limits of the overview as clearly as its contents.

Every figure carries a source reference, so a bank or an adviser can check a line without coming back to you. That is usually the difference between an overview that is accepted and one that triggers a second request.

How to get started

You contact us with a short description of your situation and the purpose: a bank, a tax return, or simply your own overview. We will tell you what is achievable with the data you have. Use the contact page for a first message.

A standard inventory for a private individual is normally completed within three working days, and you receive it in a form you can forward without editing. Tell us the purpose in your first message: a bank, a tax return, or simply your own overview.

Whether a receiving party finds the overview sufficient is for that party itself.
