Mapping crypto wallet addresses using OSINT – forensically linking wallet addresses to public sources
Cryptocurrency wallet addresses are sometimes mentioned in publicly accessible sources such as forums, social media platforms or blackmail letters, which may make it possible to link them to other identifying details.
We conduct structured research into such public references within the context of existing cases and document any links we find in a manner that is forensically verifiable.

We investigate public mentions of a relevant wallet address and document any identifiable links to further identity characteristics in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
This is how a crypto wallet mapping works
The relevant wallet address is systematically researched via search engines, forums and other publicly available sources. Any mentions found are documented along with their context and source.
Why is crypto wallet mapping relevant from a forensic perspective?
Publicly disclosing a wallet address can provide important clues as to the identity or modus operandi of the individuals behind it.
When combined with transactional analysis, this can help to provide a more comprehensive picture of a payment transaction.
