// what we do

Three lanes of recovery work

🔍

Wallet Tracing & Recovery

Address-graph traversal across Ethereum, Bitcoin, Tron, Solana, BSC, and the major bridges. We map the route from your wallet to whatever exchange or mixer the funds touched, and we file the freezes that follow.

📜

Smart-Contract Investigations

If the loss came through an approval, a fake LP, or a compromised contract, we read the bytecode, surface the exploit pattern, and document the upstream signers. Your loss becomes a citable filing — not a forum thread.

Recovery Pathways & Filings

We package your case for the lanes that actually move funds: FBI IC3, SEC TCR, FinCEN SARs, exchange compliance teams, Chainabuse, Etherscan abuse, and counsel referrals where warranted.

// Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about crypto recovery.

Six honest answers to the questions claimants ask us first.

Is crypto recovery actually possible?
Yes, in many cases. Cryptocurrency transactions are permanently recorded on the blockchain, which means the money you lost left a public, traceable trail. Whether recovery is realistic depends on where the funds ended up: if they reached a regulated exchange (the off-ramp), exchange compliance teams or law enforcement can often freeze them. If the funds passed through a mixer like Tornado Cash, recovery becomes harder but is sometimes still possible at downstream reorg points. We tell you honestly which category your case falls into.
How much does it cost to work with Digital Asset Den?
The case evaluation is completely free. You send us your wallet, the transactions, and what happened. We respond within 24 hours with an honest read on whether recovery is realistic. If we move forward with a forensic engagement, we send a written scope describing deliverables and fees before any work begins. We never charge upfront “release”, “tax unlock”, or “liquidity” fees — those are scam patterns, not legitimate recovery practice.
What if the platform that scammed me has already disappeared?
This is one of the biggest misconceptions in crypto recovery. The website going offline does not mean the money is gone. The on-chain trail is permanent — the wallets, the transactions, the bridges and exchange deposit addresses where the funds eventually landed are all still readable. Digital Asset Den regularly produces forensic briefs on operators whose websites have been seized or abandoned. The trail follows the wallets, not the URL.
How long does the recovery process take?
The forensic trace itself typically takes 5 to 15 business days, depending on case complexity. After that, the timeline depends on the parties we file with: exchange-compliance freezes can happen in days when caught early, while regulatory investigations can take months. Mixer obfuscation typically completes within 24 to 72 hours of the initial theft, so engaging early matters a lot.
How is Digital Asset Den different from other recovery agents that contact me?
Most “recovery agents” that proactively contact crypto-loss victims are themselves scams. The pattern is: they ask for upfront unlock fees, request remote desktop access, or ask for your seed phrase. We do none of those things. Our case evaluation is free. We never ask for remote access or seed phrases. We engage exchange compliance and regulators, not the alleged scammer. We do not hold or transfer your funds. Our office address (1527 19th St, Bakersfield, CA) and direct email (support@digitalassetden.com) are public.
What information do I need to start my case?
Send us as much of the following as you have: (1) the wallet address you used to deposit or interact with the platform, (2) any transaction hashes, (3) approximate amount and date of the loss, (4) the platform / contract / domain name involved, (5) any communications you saved (emails, chat exports, screenshots). If you only have some of these, send what you have — we can usually start the trace from the wallet address alone.

Ready for a no-cost case review?

Send the wallet, the transaction hash, the platform, and what happened. You get a written triage in under 24 hours — whether or not we take the case.
