Question 1

What is blockchain forensics?

Accepted Answer

Blockchain forensics is the process of analyzing blockchain transactions to trace cryptocurrency movements, identify suspicious patterns, and gather evidence for legal proceedings. It combines data analysis, pattern recognition, and investigative techniques.

Question 2

Is ForensicBlock evidence court-ready?

Accepted Answer

ForensicBlock provides court-ready reports with cryptographic verification and chain-of-custody tracking designed for evidentiary workflows. Evidence quality and admissibility depend on proper handling, jurisdictional rules, case facts, and expert testimony in each proceeding.

Question 3

Which blockchains does ForensicBlock support?

Accepted Answer

ForensicBlock supports AI investigation today on 7 live blockchain networks: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, and Tron (TRC-20) — each proven by per-chain on-chain probe receipts (Polygon and Arbitrum via Etherscan V2 multichain; Optimism and Base via Blockscout public instances). Two chains are in active development: BNB Smart Chain (no free Etherscan-compatible REST API today — BscScan V1 is deprecated and Etherscan V2 free tier excludes chainId 56; paid Etherscan plan or a JSON-RPC fetcher is the next step) and Bitcoin (per-address tracer pending). Solana, XRP Ledger, Cardano, Polkadot, and TON are on our roadmap and are not supported today. OFAC and Tron/TRC-20 sanctions screening is available across a broader set of chains. The full capability matrix is published at /chains.

Question 4

How does ForensicBlock compare to Chainalysis?

Accepted Answer

ForensicBlock is an AI-first alternative to Chainalysis. While Chainalysis uses rule-based tools requiring trained analysts and costs $37,000+/year, ForensicBlock uses autonomous AI agents that conduct investigations independently — starting at $49. Our AI analyzes behavioral patterns rather than relying solely on labeled address databases, enabling detection of novel threats.

Question 5

Can ForensicBlock trace stolen cryptocurrency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ForensicBlock's AI agents trace stolen cryptocurrency across supported networks, following funds through mixers, bridges, DeFi protocols, and cross-chain swaps. Our workflows generate defensible evidence packages with chain-of-custody documentation to support asset recovery and law enforcement investigations.

Question 6

Does ForensicBlock support AML compliance and sanctions screening?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ForensicBlock provides comprehensive AML compliance tools including OFAC sanctions screening, Know Your Transaction (KYT) monitoring, Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) support, and continuous address monitoring. Our risk scoring engine combines 13 ML models for accurate threat detection across all supported blockchains.
