Wallet tracking is a method that helps track the movement of stolen crypto assets. Think of it as an alarm system that notifies you of any transactions involving marked funds.
Wallet tracking is especially important because, unlike a bank account, crypto funds can’t simply be frozen. For example, if stolen assets are stored in a hacker’s cold wallet (offline wallet), they can’t be retrieved or locked. However, once the scammer starts moving the funds, tracking can help:
- Monitor transactions – If funds are transferred from one wallet to another, you’ll receive an alert and can record the new address.
- Tag new wallets – Every new wallet receiving the stolen funds gets marked to ensure no transaction is missed.
- Wait for a vulnerable moment – Scammers often try to cash out through exchanges, swap services, or cross-chain bridges. These points offer a chance to recover funds, as exchanges and services can freeze assets.
Wallet tracking enables real-time tracking so you don’t miss the opportunity to intercept and recover stolen assets. You can
