Blockchain forensics in Cyprus

Tracing is the reconstruction of how value moved across a blockchain, starting from an address or a transaction hash and following the flow outward. Public chains record every transfer permanently, but the raw record is a list of hashes and amounts with no structure. Tracing turns that into an ordered account of what left an address, where it went at each hop, where it was converted or bridged, and where it came to rest. The output is an analysis, not a database export.

Sometimes — and honestly, not always. Recovery is realistic when the stolen funds land somewhere with a legal owner we can reach: a centralised exchange, a custodian, a payment processor, or a counterparty inside a cooperating jurisdiction. In those cases tracing plus a freezing order can return funds. Recovery is unlikely when funds have been through a mixer, converted to a privacy coin, or moved to a jurisdiction that will not act. We tell you which situation you are in after the initial trace, before you commit to a full engagement.

No, and no legitimate firm can. Recovery depends on where the funds went: assets that reach a regulated exchange can often be frozen through legal channels, while funds sitting in a private wallet cannot be seized by anyone without legal process against the holder. We tell you honestly what the trace shows and what your realistic options are. Treat any "guaranteed recovery" promise as a red flag for fraud.
