What does the free check do?

You paste a message, wallet address, transaction hash or link. The check compares it with documented fraud patterns and screens any addresses and links against the OFAC sanctions list and public scam and phishing lists. It shows the warning signs it found, how strong they are, and what it could not check. The result is automated information to help you decide, not a finding of fraud.

How much does a blockchain trace cost?

The check and the case assessment are free. A Trace Report starts at $750 and a Full Investigation starts at $3,500, with a $1,750 deposit when work starts and the balance on delivery. Every fee is fixed and agreed in writing before you pay, and is never a percentage of any recovery.

Does Blockchain Fraud recover funds?

No. We do not recover funds and we do not promise, estimate or imply any recovery. Recovery, if it happens, depends on exchanges, stablecoin issuers, courts and law enforcement. A fee to 'release' or 'unlock' your funds is a common warning sign.

Free check · automated · no account

Check an offer, wallet or message before you send money.

Blockchain Fraud — a UnyKorn system. Paste what you were sent and see the known warning signs it contains. The result is information to help you decide, not a finding.

Never paste a seed phrase (recovery words) or private key. Anyone who has them can empty your wallet. We will never ask for them.

Limit 8,000 characters. The pattern check runs in your browser. Wallet addresses, transaction hashes and links we detect are sent to our server, and on to the list sources named on our Methodology page, for screening; your message text is not. The free check does not trace wallet history, inspect token contracts or involve a person. Privacy

Free, no account A seed phrase or private key stops the check; nothing is sent Every result shows what was and was not checked

Encrypt this in my browser before it's sent optional

Optional: encrypt your account in your browser before sending. It can be opened with your passphrase or with our case-handling key, which we store separately from your data. Authorized staff can read it; outsiders who gain access to the stored file cannot. We store the encrypted package and a SHA-256 digest you can recompute yourself; the digest is appended to your case's evidence chain. Your wallet address, chain, and amount stay readable so the automated trace can run.

Passphrase (12+ characters, keep it somewhere safe)

If you lose the passphrase, our case-handling key can still open the package. This is encryption with keys we hold separately from your data, not a promise that nobody at all can read it.
