Because transactions are recorded publicly, an address can be followed without access to the wallet itself. It describes a way of observing, not a verdict about what the movement means.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What it may indicate<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Sudden movement on a monitored address can be an indication that something is happening, but it need not mean anything. Sometimes it is regular use. What the movement really involves only emerges when the transaction is viewed in context.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<div class=\"pterm-ex\">An address that stood out earlier in an investigation is kept under watch. When movement occurs, it can be looked at in good time. Whether that movement is relevant only emerges after investigating the transaction.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What is address monitoring?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Keeping an eye on a wallet address to notice movement in good time, based on publicly recorded transactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>Can an address be followed without access to the wallet?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Yes. Because transactions are recorded publicly, an address can be followed without access to the wallet itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>What does address monitoring deliver in a case file?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">Monitoring produces a dated record of what moved, when, and to where. That record makes a later analysis reproducible, because every step can be checked against the public ledger. Paucitas sets up monitoring on the addresses that matter in your case and reports the movements in plain language, so the file stays readable for a lawyer or a bank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-block\">\n<h2>How does Paucitas start with address monitoring?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"pterm-p\">We begin with the addresses you already know and establish which of them belong together. From there we watch the outgoing routes and note each step towards an exchange or another service. The result is an investigation report; with that report a later police report has substance. The first step is a conversation with Paucitas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pterm-see\">\n<p><span class=\"lbl\">See also<\/span><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/tracing-transactions\/wallet\/\">Wallet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/tracing-transactions\/tracing-crypto\/\">Tracing crypto<\/a>.
