WalletDNA

For Lawyers & Litigation

Find, trace, and document
crypto for litigation.

Surface hidden holdings, follow the money across 18 chains, and turn it into a documented case dossier — dated, evidenced, and ready to file — for divorce, probate, fraud, and bankruptcy matters. No blockchain expertise required.

We trace and document. We are not your lawyer.

WalletDNA is an informational on-chain analytics tool — not legal advice, and not a substitute for retained counsel or a testifying expert. We produce a documented, independently verifiable record of what is on the public ledger. How it is used in any proceeding, and questions of admissibility, are matters for you and the court.

Where it fits in your practice

Divorce & family law

Surface undisclosed or hidden crypto holdings during discovery, trace transfers between wallets and exchanges, and document the value of what you find for equitable distribution.

Estate & probate

Identify and value a decedent's on-chain holdings, trace transfers near the date of death, and produce a documented record for the estate inventory.

Fraud & recovery litigation

Trace where misappropriated funds went across chains, identify exchange off-ramps where the recipient is identifiable, and build the evidence trail for freezing orders and claims.

Bankruptcy & insolvency

Trace debtor transfers, surface concealed assets, and document movements that may constitute preferential or fraudulent transfers.

Commercial & contract disputes

Establish what was sent, when, to whom, and where it ended up — turning an opaque on-chain dispute into a documented timeline.

What you get

Everything organized by matter

Group every report, trace canvas, and monitored wallet under a client matter — with a matter number and engagement type (divorce, probate, fraud recovery…). Run a conflict check before opening one, add your own analyst commentary to any report, put your firm's name and bar number on the PDF, and export the entire matter as a single branded file — or share a draft via an email-gated, watermarked “under review” link.

A documented case dossier

Fund-flow trace, entity attribution with confidence tiers, evidence links anyone can independently verify, and a risk score — a timestamped, tamper-evident record for the file, exportable as a clean PDF exhibit. Every report is reproducible from public on-chain data; how it was generated and verified is documented at walletdna.com/methodology.

Valuation as of any date

Pick the date that matters — date of separation, date of death, date of transfer — and get the wallet's balance and USD value on that day, computed from archive block data (EVM chains) or full history replay (Bitcoin, Litecoin) and priced from a stated source. Each valuation saves with the report and appears as its own page in the PDF.

Attribution you can explain

Where funds reached fiat exchanges — the off-ramps where a recipient can be identified through legal process — graded in three evidence tiers: dated direct deposits to known exchange addresses; probable deposit addresses inferred from sweep patterns, with the funding and sweep transactions cited and always stated as probable; and exchange endpoints reached anywhere in the multi-hop trace. The strength of each lead is explicit before you draft the subpoena.

Where the trail leaves the chain

When funds cross to another chain through a bridge, the report says so instead of the trail vanishing at an unlabeled contract — naming the destination chain for canonical bridges (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon) and stating plainly when a multi-destination router's destination can't be resolved on-chain. It marks the exit; following the funds onward is a fresh trace on the destination chain, and the report draws that boundary explicitly — the kind of honest limit that holds up under cross-examination.

Cryptographic proof of wallet ownership

Send a signing link; the wallet holder signs a challenge message with the wallet's key (browser wallet or offline/hardware) and WalletDNA verifies it cryptographically — the proof, method, and timestamp are embedded in the report. Works on Ethereum and all EVM chains, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Solana, and Tron. Useful when a party claims — or disputes — control of an address.

Language you can use

A plain-English summary you can adapt for a declaration, memo, or filing — no blockchain expertise required to read it.

An assistant that cites its evidence

Ask questions about the wallet in plain English — “which counterparties are exchanges?”, “where could these funds be subpoenaed?” — and every address, transaction, and amount in the answer carries a numbered citation you can click to see the underlying tool evidence, sources and limitations included. Answers that fail citation validation are never shown, and the assistant declines to speculate on wallet ownership, future movements, or legal conclusions — those judgments stay yours.

Findings in your voice, not chat logs

Nothing you ask enters the deliverable by itself. You choose which answers become findings, give each your own heading, and rewrite the text in your own words — re-validated against the evidence, so a finding can be rephrased but never un-grounded. The PDF presents them as Supplementary Findings prepared under your name and firm, with citations to the data sources; your questions and exploratory dead ends never appear. The complete transcript stays in your records if how the work was produced is ever formally at issue.

Courtroom-readiness kit

The documents that make an analysis defensible: an Evidence Foundation & Methodology Statement (how the analysis is generated, its data sources and versioned methodology), a template expert declaration, a Daubert/Frye reliability talking-points memo, and a content-hash & attestation verification guide. Free to download — the foundation package enterprise firms get, for the $50K divorce and the small-firm fraud case. See walletdna.com/courtroom-readiness.

CLE course coming

Crypto Forensics Fundamentals for Attorneys — a five-module course that satisfies the duty of technology competence and covers reading on-chain evidence, the assertion-versus-overreach line (what a service label lets you plead), tracing misappropriated funds to the exchange off-ramps, and the legal process that turns a trace lead into an identified defendant (John Doe filings and Rule 45 subpoenas, Norwich Pharmacal orders, freezing relief) — closing on authentication and admissibility (Daubert/Frye) and the boundary between on-chain fact and legal conclusion. Launching first as accredited CPE, with a CLE version to follow state by state. Join the waitlist at walletdna.com/academy to be notified when it's approved in your state.

Crypto tracing for lawyers — FAQ

Can you find cryptocurrency someone is hiding?

Often, yes — if you have a starting point. Blockchain transactions are public and permanent, so from a known wallet address, transaction hash, or an exchange account, we can trace transfers to other wallets and identify when funds reach exchanges where the holder provided identity. We cannot conjure a wallet from nothing, but addresses surface constantly in discovery, devices, emails, and exchange records.

Is a WalletDNA report usable in court?

The report is documentation: a dated, methodology-backed record of what is on the public ledger, with evidence links anyone can independently verify. Admissibility and weight are determined by the court and your jurisdiction's rules. WalletDNA is an informational analytics tool, not legal advice — we document and trace; how the documentation is used in proceedings is your call as counsel.

What do you need from me to start?

Any one of: a wallet address, a transaction hash (TXID), or an exchange withdrawal/deposit record. These usually appear in discovery, financial disclosures, devices, or correspondence. The more starting points you provide, the more complete the trace.

What does the report contain?

A fund-flow trace of where assets moved, entity attribution (with confidence tiers and a cited methodology), balance and USD valuation — current, plus as of any date you choose (date of separation, date of death) with sources stated — evidence links to public block explorers, a plain-English narrative, and a risk score — exportable as a PDF, or as an Excel workpaper if your forensic accountant prefers spreadsheets.

Can I prove that someone controls a wallet?

Yes — cryptographically. From a report, create a signing link and send it to the wallet holder. They sign a unique challenge message with the wallet's private key (in a browser wallet like MetaMask, Phantom, or TronLink, or offline with Electrum or a hardware wallet), and WalletDNA verifies the signature against the address. The proof — challenge, signature, method, and timestamp — is embedded in the PDF and independently verifiable. Supported on Ethereum and all EVM chains, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Solana, and Tron. Signing is free and cannot move funds. Note this proves control at the time of signing; it cannot compel an unwilling party to sign.

Can I organize work by client or matter?

Yes. Every report, trace canvas, and monitored wallet can be filed under a matter — a client or case with its own matter number and engagement type. A built-in conflict check tells you whether a wallet has appeared in any of your prior matters before you open a new one. You can add your own commentary to a report, brand PDFs with your firm name and bar number, export a whole matter as one file, and share drafts via an email-gated “under review” link that logs who viewed it.

Do you provide expert testimony?

WalletDNA is a tool that produces documented analysis; it is not a substitute for a retained expert. The report is built to support an expert or to give counsel a clear, verifiable record. If a matter requires sworn testimony, the documentation is designed to make that work straightforward.

Which blockchains and assets are supported?

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Tron, BNB Chain, Polygon, Litecoin, Cardano, Polkadot, Avalanche, Cosmos, Stellar, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, TON, and SUI. Tron (USDT-TRC20) — the most common rail for moving stablecoins — is fully supported.
