Services
Paucitas is an independent Dutch investigation agency, specialised in blockchain investigation into crypto assets. We follow the traces that transactions leave on the blockchain, map out what can be seen there and record our findings in a clear and verifiable investigation report. That report is written so that your lawyer, a judge, a bank or another authority can work with it directly. Individuals, companies, law firms and insolvency practitioners engage us when questions arise that they cannot answer themselves: a suspicion of fraud, questions about the origin of crypto assets, or matters concerning access to their own wallet. Whatever your question, you can count on a confidential, careful and fully personal approach.
Whether you are an individual or a business, you can count on fully personalized services tailored to your unique needs. Can’t find what you’re looking for in our service offerings below? No worries. We specialize in creating services based on your specific needs and ideas. Feel free to contact us for more information or to discuss how we can develop a custom service for you.

Training
Paucitas provides training for professionals in every sector who encounter cryptocurrency in their files, from the role of crypto in fraud and money laundering cases to the workings and security of wallets. Paucitas has previously delivered the NOvA-accredited course for criminal defence lawyers and criminal law specialists, a closed lecture for insolvency practitioners, a training for an asset manager and a lecture for a venture capital firm.
Every training starts from a clear foundation and is then tailored to the practice of the group. Training is given on location, at our office or digitally and can be personalised for any sector.
Origin of assets
Paucitas links the crypto assets, together with the documents provided by the client, to the data on the blockchain. This allows us to verify whether the assets were obtained in a manner that meets the standards of the financial institution requiring demonstrability.

Wallet investigation
Paucitas factually investigates whether restoring access is technically possible, exclusively on a wallet you lawfully own. We assess your situation without obligation and are always honest about what is realistic in your case. If you are unsure whether what you still have is usable, feel free to get in touch. If you need help reading out or restoring your wallet, we guide you through it entirely, without us needing to see that sensitive information ourselves.

We check whether personal data has been misused, think along with you about your digital security and carry out manual computer checks where needed. Paucitas also offers a service subscription with periodic checks, direct support and one-to-one contact. Everything is tailored to your situation, aimed at peace of mind, clarity and preventing further harm.

Source of funds review: blockchain investigation work to support international compliance, tax and inheritance questions about the legitimate origin of crypto holdings.
Investment fraud analysis: blockchain investigation of boilerroom operations, fake trading platforms, pig butchering schemes and other investment fraud constructions in which cryptocurrency plays a role.
On-chain due diligence: pre-transaction or pre-litigation review of a counterparty, project or token to surface red flags before a decision is taken.
Our blockchain investigation work supports cross-border crypto fraud cases and cooperates with the priorities of international law enforcement bodies such as Europol on economic crime and Interpol on financial crime, helping clients and their advisors act on clear, well documented findings.
Our blockchain investigation services for international clients
Paucitas provides independent blockchain investigation services from Amsterdam to clients across Europe and beyond. Our blockchain investigation work typically falls into a few related categories, but every engagement is tailored to the case at hand.
Crypto fraud and investment fraud investigations. When individuals or companies have lost crypto to a fraudulent platform, a boilerroom operation, a pig butchering or romance scam, or a fake broker, our blockchain investigation traces the movement of funds across blockchains and documents the flow in a clear report. That report can support civil claims, criminal complaints, tax declarations or compliance reviews in multiple jurisdictions. Read more about who we are.
Cross-border crypto tracing. Cryptocurrency rarely respects borders. Our blockchain investigation follows on-chain activity from one jurisdiction to another, across exchanges and intermediaries, and produces documentation that international law firms, trustees and corporate teams can act on. See our team for the experts behind this work.
Wallet and transaction reviews. When a wallet has been compromised, a transaction is disputed, or a counterparty needs to be assessed, our blockchain investigation delivers focused analysis with clear conclusions.
Source of funds and compliance support. For private clients, family offices and corporate compliance teams, we produce blockchain-based source of funds documentation that meets international compliance, tax and inheritance expectations. Explore our latest insights and blogs on these themes.
How we approach a blockchain investigation
Every Paucitas blockchain investigation starts with a confidential intake. We listen to what happened, look at the available data, and agree with you what a useful outcome looks like. Only then do we scope the blockchain investigation services, so you know what to expect in terms of approach, timeline and reporting.
From there, our blockchain investigation team works on public blockchain data, exchange responses where available, and any additional information you can share. We document findings in structured reports written for international use, in English. Where appropriate we coordinate with your law firms, advisors or compliance team, while remaining independent of them.
We are explicit about what we do not do. Paucitas is not a law firm and not an investigative agency in the regulated sense. Paucitas does not provide legal advice and focuses on investigation and factual reporting. We provide blockchain investigation, cryptocurrency analysis and investment fraud expertise so that you, and your advisors, can make informed decisions. Get in touch to start the conversation.
Frequently asked questions about our services
Do you handle international crypto fraud cases?
Yes. Most of our work involves international elements, with funds moving across exchanges and jurisdictions. We work in English with clients across Europe and beyond.
What does a Paucitas blockchain investigation deliver?
Typically a written report setting out the relevant on-chain facts, the methodology used, and clearly framed findings. Where useful we also provide working files, transaction lists and visualisations that international law firms, trustees and compliance teams can use directly.
Do you work with law firms and trustees abroad?
Yes. International law firms, trustees in cross-border insolvencies and corporate compliance teams are among our regular clients. We act as an independent blockchain specialist and crypto expert alongside their own legal and financial work.
How do you work with international clients and their advisors?
We work alongside law firms, trustees and corporate compliance teams across multiple jurisdictions. Our blockchain investigation and cryptocurrency tracing support their own compliance, tax and legal processes, and we document our findings clearly so clients and their advisors can act on them.
What does a blockchain investigation cost?
The cost follows from the scope of the question and the number of transactions involved. A single route with a clear starting point takes less work than a file spread across several wallets and platforms. We set out the scope and the fee before we start, so there are no surprises afterwards.
How long does a blockchain investigation take?
A straightforward tracing question is often ready within a few working days. Larger files, with cross-chain hops or many addresses, take longer. We tell you at the outset what is realistic and we make no promises about the outcome.
