// the methodology
How we recover stolen crypto
Five steps, every time, in writing. No mystery, no "trust us", no hidden retainer. Each step has a defined output you can hold us to.
Free Case Review
You send the wallet, the transaction hashes, the platform, the dollar value, and a paragraph on what happened. We respond in under 24 hours, in writing.
You get: a written triage with go / no-go and the next step.
Trace the Funds
Address-graph traversal through every chain the funds touched. Tagging on bridges (Wormhole, Allbridge, deBridge), mixers (Tornado, Sinbad, eXch), and exchanges (binary classifier — CEX vs DEX vs P2P).
You get: a chain-of-custody trail rendered as a hop-by-hop map.
Identify the Off-Ramp
Which exchange the funds landed in, which compliance team owns that desk, which jurisdiction’s freeze process applies. Where the route went through a P2P platform, we identify the seller and the corridor.
You get: a list of named recovery pathways ranked by realistic odds.
Audit the Contracts
If the loss came through an approval, a malicious contract, or a fake LP, we read the bytecode, surface the exploit pattern, and identify upstream signers / proxies / admin keys.
You get: a contract dossier you can attach to filings.
File for Recovery
FBI IC3 + SEC TCR + FinCEN + Chainabuse + Etherscan abuse + the relevant CEX compliance desk. We monitor the freeze tickets and follow up on each one.
You get: a numbered filing list with copies and reference IDs.

Lines we don’t cross
// the boundaries that keep our work admissible
No remote-access
We will never request screenshare, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or browser-extension access to your wallet. A trace runs on public chain data, not your machine.
No seed phrase
We will never ask for your seed phrase, private key, or password. Anyone claiming to be from Digital Asset Den who asks is impersonating us.
No upfront cash
Triage is free. If we accept the case, costs are scoped in writing before work begins — never as a wire to a personal wallet.
No fake guarantees
If the trail terminates at a non-cooperative jurisdiction or a privacy-pool exit, we say so. We do not invent recovery odds to keep a claim open.
