Frequently Asked Questions

No. Recovery of stolen cryptocurrency is never guaranteed. Blockchain tracing can identify where funds were moved, but actual recovery depends on many factors — including whether funds reached a regulated exchange, the jurisdiction involved, law enforcement cooperation, and the speed of action. We provide investigative support and evidence documentation, not recovery guarantees.
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case, the number of transactions involved, and the blockchains used. Simple single-chain traces may take a few days, while complex multi-chain investigations with many intermediary wallets can take several weeks. We provide timeline estimates after the initial case review.
At minimum, we need wallet addresses and transaction hashes involved in the fraud. Additional helpful information includes screenshots of the scam platform, communication records, the scam platform name/URL, dates of transactions, and a description of events. The more information you provide, the more thorough our analysis can be.
We produce reports that are formatted to support law enforcement investigations and legal proceedings. While we do not represent law enforcement agencies, our findings and evidence documentation can be submitted as part of formal complaints or investigations led by the appropriate authorities.
We support analysis across major blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, BNB Chain, Solana, Polygon, and most EVM-compatible networks. If your case involves a blockchain not listed here, please submit your case and we will advise on coverage during the initial review.
Yes. All case submissions and communications are treated with strict confidentiality. Your personal information and case details are not shared with third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law.

Important Disclaimer

No Recovery Guarantee. ChainTrace provides blockchain forensic analysis and investigative support services. We do not guarantee the recovery of lost or stolen cryptocurrency. The outcome of any investigation depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the actions of third-party exchanges, law enforcement agencies, and legal jurisdictions involved.

Investigative Support Only. Our services constitute investigative support and evidence documentation. We are not a law firm, financial advisor, or law enforcement agency. Our reports and findings are intended to assist in — not replace — formal legal or law enforcement processes.

Variable Results. Each case is unique. Past case outcomes do not predict future results. The ability to trace and potentially recover assets varies significantly based on the type of scam, the blockchain(s) involved, how quickly action is taken, and whether funds have reached identifiable endpoints.

No Impersonation. ChainTrace does not impersonate, represent, or claim affiliation with any law enforcement agency, regulatory body, or government institution. We operate as an independent forensic investigation support service.
