What is blockchain forensics?

Blockchain forensics is the discipline of producing evidence about cryptocurrency activity that holds up in court — not just tracing where funds went, but sealing the result with chain of custody, an examiner declaration, and self-authentication so it survives cross-examination. Investigation answers what happened; forensics answers whether you can prove it to a court. ForensicBlock produces the exhibit: court-ready, independently verifiable blockchain evidence.

Is ForensicBlock evidence court-ready?

ForensicBlock provides court-ready reports with cryptographic verification and chain-of-custody tracking designed for evidentiary workflows. Evidence quality and admissibility depend on proper handling, jurisdictional rules, case facts, and expert testimony in each proceeding.

Which blockchains does ForensicBlock support?

ForensicBlock supports AI investigation today on 7 live blockchain networks: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, and Tron (TRC-20) — each proven by per-chain on-chain probe receipts (Polygon and Arbitrum via Etherscan V2 multichain; Optimism and Base via Blockscout public instances). Two chains are in active development: BNB Smart Chain (no free Etherscan-compatible REST API today — BscScan V1 is deprecated and Etherscan V2 free tier excludes chainId 56; paid Etherscan plan or a JSON-RPC fetcher is the next step) and Bitcoin (per-address tracer pending). Solana, XRP Ledger, Cardano, Polkadot, and TON are on our roadmap and are not supported today. OFAC and Tron/TRC-20 sanctions screening is available across a broader set of chains. The full capability matrix is published at /chains.

How does ForensicBlock compare to Chainalysis?

Chainalysis, TRM, and Elliptic own intelligence and screening — what an address is and what your risk exposure is. ForensicBlock owns forensics: evidence engineered to survive a courtroom. Chainalysis sells the label; we seal the exhibit. Every finding is glass-box (sourced confidence, not a black-box score), cryptographically anchored into an append-only audit log, packaged for FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication, and independently verifiable from a browser without an account. Engagements are scoped per matter on a Statement of Work, not sold as a standing per-seat annual contract.

Can ForensicBlock trace stolen cryptocurrency?

Yes. ForensicBlock's AI agents trace stolen cryptocurrency across supported networks, following funds through mixers, bridges, DeFi protocols, and cross-chain swaps. Our workflows generate defensible evidence packages with chain-of-custody documentation to support asset recovery and law enforcement investigations.

Does ForensicBlock support AML compliance and sanctions screening?

Yes. ForensicBlock provides comprehensive AML compliance tools including OFAC sanctions screening, Know Your Transaction (KYT) monitoring, Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) support, and continuous address monitoring. Our risk scoring engine combines 13 ML models for accurate threat detection across all supported blockchains.

Tornado Cash

Tornado Cash is an Ethereum mixing protocol. It was sanctioned by OFAC on August 8, 2022 for facilitating money laundering including funds stolen by North Korea's Lazarus Group, and was removed from the SDN list on March 21, 2025 following Van Loon v. Treasury. It remains a high-risk privacy protocol in tracing analysis.
