Trace cryptocurrency flow.
From wallet to exchange.

ChainWatch follows illicit crypto flows across mixers, coin-swap services, layering chains, and privacy-coin bridges. Investigators get Sankey visualisations of the money trail and AI-assisted lookup of the addresses that matter, all from a single case file.

Thanks. We will reach out from hello@chainwatch.in.

For law enforcement, cyber-crime cells, financial crime units, and AML compliance teams. We screen sign-ups before responding.

Capabilities

What investigators get out of the box.

01

Address & transaction lookup

Pull complete history for any address across BTC, ETH, BSC, and Tron. See balances, counterparties, first-seen, and exchange labels in one panel.

02

Multi-hop tracing

Follow funds through 100+ layers of obfuscation automatically. ChainWatch surfaces the path that matters and prunes the noise.

03

Mixer & layering detection

Recognise Tornado Cash, ChipMixer, peel chains, coin-swap services, and DeFi-based laundering patterns automatically.

04

Sankey-based fund-flow visualisation

The story of the money in one diagram. Edge widths show value flow; node colours show entity type. Print-ready for case files and court submissions.

05

Exchange identification & nodal contact

Identify the exchange where suspicious funds land. Generate a pre-filled nodal-officer notice with case number, address, and timestamp ready to send.

06

AI-assisted investigator

"Trace this address to its first off-ramp." Natural language queries against case data. Cuts a week of analyst work to an afternoon.

Built for

Investigators who don't have time to learn blockchain.

State Police Cyber Wings

Crypto-related FIRs, sextortion cases, romance scams, fake-investment schemes. Trace where the money went, who took custody, and where to serve notice.

Cyber-Crime Cells (district / metro)

Quick-turnaround investigation tooling for the desk that gets the call when a citizen reports a crypto fraud. Designed for officers who aren't blockchain analysts.

Financial Crime Units & ED

Cross-border crypto flows, ransom payments, dark-net business income, hawala-style layering. Generate ED-grade reports with full provenance.

AML / Compliance teams

Banks and PSPs vetting crypto-exposed customers. Decision-grade exposure scoring for a wallet or counterparty in seconds.

Same engine, broader market

Beyond law enforcement.

The same tracing infrastructure that catches criminals also keeps honest participants safe. Three adjacent surfaces, each a sellable product on the same engine.

Retail users hit by crypto fraud

When a citizen loses crypto to a scam, the next step today is a police FIR with months of waiting. ChainWatch shortens that:

  • Free address-risk lookup before they send funds (block scams pre-emptively)
  • Stolen-funds case registration with same-day tracing
  • Success-fee model: percentage of recovered funds. Pay nothing if we can't help.
  • We coordinate with the relevant exchange's nodal officer on the victim's behalf

Crypto exchanges (compliance & clean inflow detection)

Exchanges have legal liability when dirty crypto enters their orderbooks. ChainWatch sits in the deposit pipeline:

  • Real-time API check on every incoming deposit address (sanctions / mixer / known-scam exposure)
  • Auto-flag deposits originating from layering chains, peeling patterns, or stolen-funds wallets
  • Compliance-grade reports for FIU-IND, SEC, MAS, FCA, and other regulators
  • Integration patterns: REST API for deposit-time scoring, webhooks for alerts

Wealth funds, family offices, hedge funds

Crypto exposure is no longer optional in a serious portfolio. Wallet hygiene matters before, during, and after every position:

  • Pre-investment counterparty due diligence: scan the wallet of every entity you're transacting with
  • Portfolio-company wallet hygiene tracking (ongoing exposure scoring)
  • Quarterly board-grade risk reports on crypto exposure across holdings
  • Anomaly alerts when a previously clean wallet starts touching flagged counterparties
A note from the team

We've watched too many crypto-fraud FIRs go nowhere.

The single biggest gap between a citizen reporting a crypto fraud and an arrest is the technical step in the middle: tracing the flow, identifying the exchange, and serving notice in time. Most cyber-crime cells aren't staffed with blockchain analysts, and the existing global tools cost what an entire annual budget can't justify.

We've been working on this problem since 2022, through hackathons and police engagements, and a research grant is now supporting the productisation. ChainWatch is the tool we'd have wanted from day one.

If you're working in this space, we'd like to talk before we ship. Join the waitlist above.
