How to Trace Stolen Crypto Without Connecting Your Wallet
Trace outbound fund flows using only public blockchain data and a transaction hash or address — no wallet connect required.
Why wallet connect is risky after a drain
Victims are often pushed to connect wallets to unknown sites. Legitimate tracing only needs public addresses and transaction hashes already visible on explorers.
What you need
- The victim wallet address (0x…).
- One anchor transaction hash if you know the drain tx.
- The correct network: Ethereum, Arbitrum, HyperEVM, Base, BNB Chain, Monad, or Solana.
What a case file adds beyond Etherscan
- Recipient ledger with heuristic labels (CEX, bridge, mixer patterns).
- Fund-flow graph scoped to the incident window.
- Verification checklist before you forward links externally.
