Investigations
Blockchain Forensics Services
Structured investigation of on-chain activity to establish what happened, where value moved and what the evidence can demonstrate.
Blockchain forensics is the structured investigation of on-chain activity to establish what happened, where value moved and what the evidence can demonstrate. Evident applies investigative discipline to blockchain analysis, separating verified fact from inference and open question.
Our work is designed for legal, regulatory and professional use: source-referenced, methodology-stated and explicit about the limits of what has been established.
How we approach it
01
Transaction reconstruction
We reconstruct movement across addresses, wallets, exchanges and blockchains, building a chronological and source-referenced picture of the activity in question.
02
Attribution and corroboration
We assess connections between on-chain activity and identifiable entities, testing blockchain findings against independent information and grading the strength of each connection.
03
Evidence assessment
We separate verified fact from supported inference and unresolved question, so the findings can be scrutinised, challenged and relied upon proportionately.
What to expect
From enquiry to deliverables
A clear, staged process from your first contact to the final report. You will always know what stage the matter is at and what comes next.
Step 01
Initial enquiry
You tell us, in outline, what has happened and what you need to establish. No sensitive account details are needed at this stage.
Step 02
Confidential discussion
We review your summary and arrange an initial confidential discussion to understand the matter and the evidence you already hold.
Step 03
Scope and proposal
We set out what can realistically be investigated, the approach we would take, and the likely cost. If an investigation is not justified, we say so here.
Step 04
Instruction and investigation
Once instructed, we carry out the investigation using our defined framework, keeping you informed at agreed points.
Step 05
Findings and deliverables
You receive a clear written report of the findings, with each conclusion graded as verified fact, supported inference or unknown, ready to share with your advisers.
Step 06
Debrief and next steps
We talk you through the report, answer questions, and outline the options the findings support.
