Reading blockchain evidence with care

A ledger records transactions

For a supported network, public data may show transaction timing, amounts and addresses. Tools can organise that activity, but their outputs should be checked against underlying records.

Identity is a separate question

Addresses are pseudonymous identifiers. Connecting an address to a person or organisation requires additional evidence, such as reliable provider records or independently corroborated information.

Avoid false certainty

A visual cluster or transaction path may suggest a lead. It is not proof of intent, beneficial ownership or recoverability.
