ChainWise is a Toronto-based blockchain forensics firm. We trace stolen digital assets across exchanges and chains, prepare a court-ready evidence package, and assist you in filing complaints with the appropriate international fraud-reporting authorities and exchange compliance desks.
Global victims reported over US$5.6B lost to crypto-related fraud in 2024. Fewer than one in twenty victims file a formal complaint — yet on-chain funds typically move within 72 hours.
Coverage of Canadian crypto-fraud cases handled by our investigators between 2022 — 2025.
Our case managers in Toronto and Montréal handle every dossier the same way: precise, documented, and built so authorities can act on it.
You file a short encrypted report — wallets, dates, platform, transaction hashes. A Canadian case manager calls you within 48 hours.
Our forensics team traces stolen funds through mixers, bridges, and exchanges using industry-leading blockchain analytics platforms.
We compile a court-ready file: wallet attribution, exchange KYC subpoena targets, AML flags, and a written investigator statement.
We submit your dossier to the appropriate international fraud-reporting authorities and follow up with the receiving exchanges' compliance desks.
Scammers route stolen crypto through mixers, cross-chain bridges, and offshore exchanges to break the trail. Our investigators use the same forensic platforms relied on by law enforcement — and the outcome is a wallet-by-wallet attribution map that turns an anonymous theft into a documented financial crime.
They had me convinced for nine months. ChainWise traced 73% of the funds to an exchange sub-account in three weeks and walked me through the next steps.
I was too embarrassed to call the police. The case manager treated me with dignity and prepared everything. The authorities accepted the report the same day.
Their forensic report was the basis for a sanctions referral. Funds frozen on a regulated exchange within sixty days of filing.
“I had given up. The bank told me it was gone, the police took a statement and never called back. ChainWise traced the wallet to a Binance sub-account in eleven days and walked me through every filing. Three months later, 76% of it was returned through the exchange's compliance team. I still cry when I think about it.”
“I was 67 years old and ashamed. My case manager — a woman named Priya — never once made me feel stupid. She prepared the dossier in plain English, sat on a call with me when I filed it, and stayed in touch every two weeks. The funds were frozen at OKX after 41 days.”
“We're a small family office. We thought we'd done our diligence. The ChainWise forensic report was the basis for a sanctions referral and a civil claim — funds were ringfenced on a regulated exchange inside 60 days of filing. The report is now an exhibit in two jurisdictions.”
“Tout en français, du premier appel jusqu'au dépôt du dossier. Le rapport était précis, daté, signé — rien à voir avec ce qu'on me proposait ailleurs. Une partie des fonds a été récupérée via Kraken. Pour le reste, on continue.”
“Smaller case — I thought no one would take it seriously. ChainWise did. They traced the funds to a wallet that had just deposited to Crypto.com. Full amount returned. I paid them nothing until after recovery. That tells you everything.”
“Honest review: my funds went through Tornado and were not recovered. But ChainWise told me that up-front, refused to take a recovery fee, and still produced a full dossier I used for my tax write-off and insurance claim. They were the only honest people I spoke to.”
* Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Recovery depends on chain of custody, exchange cooperation, and jurisdiction. Quotes are edited for length and clarity; originals on file with the corresponding case ID and retained for seven years.
You will not be passed between agents or routed to an offshore call center. Your matter is assigned to a named senior investigator within 24 hours of intake, supported by our forensic-accounting and legal team in Toronto and Montréal.
“We can not always recover the funds. What we can always deliver is the truth on paper — every wallet, every transfer, every exchange — built so authorities can act on it.”
ChainWise operates across most major jurisdictions and works with the appropriate fraud-reporting authorities and exchange compliance desks in each. We screen every intake against international sanctions and decline matters originating in restricted jurisdictions.
