Stolen crypto tracing

Stolen crypto tracing starts with the outgoing transactions from your wallet and follows the route across the blockchain.

Have you fallen victim to theft or fraud and want to have your stolen crypto traced? Paucitas is an independent blockchain expertise agency that follows stolen or misappropriated cryptocurrency across the blockchain and records what it finds. Paucitas establishes, factually and verifiably, where the assets went and which leads are available for further steps.

What is the problem with stolen crypto?

After theft or a scam, funds are often moved on quickly through a chain of wallets, mixers and exchanges to obscure their origin. For victims this is hard to follow, but the underlying transactions remain visible on the blockchain. The challenge is not whether the data exists, but how to interpret it correctly and translate it into a usable, verifiable account.

How Paucitas traces stolen crypto

We reconstruct the transaction history from the last moment the funds were demonstrably in your possession. We follow the chain of transactions, map which services the funds flow towards, and record where possible leads lie, such as a regulated exchange where identification requirements apply. This relies on how a chain reconstruction exposes transaction flows and what blockchain analysis involves, building on the structure of a blockchain transaction.

Why speed is decisive

The longer funds remain in motion, the more often they pass through laundering routes such as mixers and exchanges, making the picture harder to read. By starting to trace stolen crypto promptly, you increase the chance that our investigators capture the relevant steps before the trail becomes obscured. We advise against attempting to recover funds yourself and against engaging anyone who promises to do so, as this is a hallmark of a recovery scam that causes victims further harm. Keep all available data: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, emails and screenshots. Where the trail continues, an address can also be followed over a longer period through the address monitoring service.

Our approach step by step

An investigation begins with an intake conversation in which we establish what happened and which data is available. We then reconstruct the transaction history, follow the chain, map where the funds flow, and record any points where they connect to identifiable services. The findings are brought together in a report that is factual and verifiable, and that, where relevant, is aligned with the needs of lawyers, trustees and investigative authorities.

Frequently asked questions about stolen crypto tracing

Can you recover my stolen crypto?

Paucitas investigates and records the facts. Our role is to trace and document where the funds went, so that you and your advisers have a factual, verifiable basis for any further steps, such as a police report or legal action.

How quickly should I act?

As soon as possible. The earlier tracing begins, the greater the chance that funds can still be followed before they pass through services that obscure their path. Preserve all data and avoid taking action yourself.

Can every transaction be traced?

Movements on a public blockchain can be followed, but the trail does not in every case lead to a recognisable party. Where funds pass through services that pool or obscure transactions, the route can be established only up to a certain point. The report states explicitly where that point lies and why.

What do I need to start?

The transaction hashes or the wallet addresses involved, the dates and amounts, and any statements or screenshots from the platform you used. A single transaction hash is often enough for a first assessment; the more complete the material, the sooner a traceable picture emerges.

What do I receive at the end of the investigation?

A report setting out the addresses and transactions examined, the route followed, the sources used and the date of the data, together with an explicit statement of what could and could not be established. It is written so that a lawyer, a court or another expert can retrace the steps. You then file your criminal complaint with that report.
