Everything you need to know about using FlowTrace to investigate crypto fraud.
Yes. Enter the transaction hash of the transfer you made. FlowTrace traces the BFS path the scammer took, identifies known exchanges and mixers along the way, and produces a comprehensive investigation PDF you can submit to authorities.
You need three things: (1) The transaction hash (TxHash) of the transaction where you sent crypto to the scammer; (2) Your wallet address; (3) The chain the transaction was on β Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain, or Polygon.
Open your wallet app (MetaMask, TrustWallet, etc.), go to your transaction history, find the relevant transfer, and tap it to see the details. Look for "Transaction Hash" or "TxID" and copy it. You can also search the hash on a blockchain explorer like Etherscan or Tronscan.
Free plan allows 2 hops of tracing. Pro plan ($100/month) supports up to 5 hops. The 5-hop cap is designed to keep large fund-splitting graphs usable and reviewable.
Yes. The PDF report includes an Investigation Reference No, on-chain transaction data, labeled addresses (e.g., Binance hot wallets, known mixers), and a legal disclaimer. Many victims and investigators use it as a starting point when filing police reports or contacting legal counsel.
No. FlowTrace NEVER asks for, stores, or accesses your private keys, seed phrases, passwords, or any wallet credentials. We only read public on-chain data. Your sensitive information stays on your own device.
Take the PDF investigation report from FlowTrace (which identifies the exchange the scammer used) and contact both your local police and the exchange's compliance team. Provide the report as supporting evidence. Exchanges sometimes freeze suspicious accounts upon verified law enforcement requests.
Mixers (like Tornado Cash) are tools that anonymize cryptocurrency flows by mixing multiple users' funds together. When the FlowTrace trace reaches a mixer, the trail becomes opaque. This is important evidence β it indicates the scammer is actively laundering funds, which is a key finding for AML (anti-money laundering) reports and law enforcement.
