What's New

    New capabilities and improvements to ChainHint, newest first. Updated monthly.

    October 2026

    One risk score everywhere, more official lists, and a page for people who have just lost funds.

    New
    • Seizures from U.S. forfeiture notices

      Crypto addresses named in the U.S. Attorneys' official forfeiture notices now show on the address page as seized under a court order, with the court, the case number and a link to the notice. Each one is matched against the original notice before it is shown.

    • Help for people who have just lost funds

      What to do first after a wallet drainer, a leaked seed phrase, a fake investment platform or a phishing site; the evidence an exchange will ask for; and where to report it in the US, EU, UK, Ukraine and Canada. ChainHint never sends private messages to victims and never asks for upfront fees.

      What to do first
    Improved
    • One risk score, everywhere

      An address now gets the same risk score and the same risk level on its page, in the Telegram bot and in the API. Before, the bot and the API could show a different number from the site for the same address. We now check every night that all three agree.

    • UK sanctions and Israeli seizure orders in screening

      Screening now covers the wallet addresses published on the UK Sanctions List, including some that are not on the U.S. OFAC list. Addresses named in Israel's counter-terror seizure orders are shown as seized under a court or ministerial order: a seizure, not a sanction, and labelled as one.

      Lists we screen
    • Bystanders stay anonymous on public hack graphs

      Public hack graphs no longer show the personal ENS or Farcaster names of private wallets. A personal wallet appears as "Personal wallet 0x1234…abcd".

    August 2026

    Improved
    • Every transfer valued on the day it moved

      A trace that spans months used to be priced on a single date, which misstates it by however much the market moved in between. Each transfer is now valued at its own day's price, tokens are priced by contract address rather than the symbol they claim, and a transfer we cannot price historically is reported as unpriced instead of quietly valued at today's price. On the Bybit trace that is the difference between $941M and $1.40B — the second figure agrees with the published loss.

    • Value when moved vs value today

      Every transfer also carries what it would be worth at today's price, so you can switch bases on the graph without re-running the trace, and a report can state which basis it used.

    July 2026

    A big month for tracing depth and compliance workflows.

    New
    • Source of Funds

      See who funded a wallet — named senders with USD amounts, entity labels, and risk categories. Direct senders from the most recent transfers, so you can tell where the money came from at a glance.

    • Counterparty Exposure

      Every address and investigation now shows an AML source-of-funds / use-of-funds breakdown by category, with a risk read that counts how much value went where — and an honest "not classified" state when there isn't enough attribution to judge.

    • Timeline playback & clusters

      Replay how funds moved over time on the graph, and collapse related addresses into clusters so a busy fund-flow graph stays readable.

    • Freeze-Request Packet

      Export a ready-to-send packet for exchange freeze requests in one click — the trace, the endpoints, and the numbers, formatted for a compliance team.

    • TRON tracing

      Full fund tracing, entity attribution, and monitoring for TRON — USDT-TRC20 and native TRX.

    • Proactive monitoring

      Watch any address and get email plus in-app alerts on new on-chain activity.

    • Node notes

      Annotate any address on the graph. Notes stay private to your investigation and persist across sessions.

    • Self-service account deletion

      Delete your account and its associated data at any time from your settings (GDPR right to erasure).

    Improved
    • Tracing that reaches KYC endpoints

      Traces now surface exchange deposit addresses (Bybit, Binance, WhiteBIT, HTX and more) and flag freeze candidates where funds ultimately land — the point where an identity can be requested.

    • Sharper attribution

      More counterparties are identified by name across chains, including live TRON tagging — so fewer nodes read as "unknown".

    June 2026

    New
    • Shareable investigations

      Share a read-only view of any investigation with a public link — graph, entities, and AI report, no sign-in required for the recipient. Revoke access at any time.

    April 2026 · Launch

    The foundation ChainHint launched with.

    New
    • Multi-chain fund tracing

      Fund-flow tracing across Ethereum, Bitcoin, BSC, Polygon, Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, Gnosis and more — identifying mixers, exchanges, bridges, and DeFi along the way.

    • AI incident reports

      Claude-powered attack classification, timeline reconstruction, and a recovery assessment for each investigation.

    • Address risk & entity attribution

      Paste any address for a risk assessment with entity attribution across tens of millions of labelled addresses and thousands of sanctioned entities.

    • Case-study library

      Detailed, sourced breakdowns of major exploits — Bybit, Ronin, WazirX, Euler, Nomad and more.

    • Wallet Reputation API

      A programmatic risk-check endpoint for compliance teams, on the Agency plan.

    • Annual plans

      Investigator and Agency available annually at −33% versus monthly.

    Improved
    • Trust & Security

      A plain-language Security overview, a Trust & Sub-processors page, and a drop-in GDPR Data Processing Addendum for B2B execution.
