Ethereum & ERC-20 Token Recovery
Advanced blockchain forensics for Ethereum-based asset recovery with 89% success rate on mainnet transactions
Why Ethereum Recovery is Complex
Ethereum's programmable nature creates unique recovery challenges that require specialized expertise:
Smart Contract Interactions
Funds often routed through complex smart contracts (DEXs, bridges, lending protocols), making direct tracking difficult without contract bytecode analysis.
Cross-Chain Bridges
Wrapped ETH and ERC-20s bridge to L2s and sidechains (Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism), requiring multi-chain forensics and coordination.
ERC-20 Token Variations
Non-standard token implementations, proxy patterns, and upgradeable contracts require specialized analysis beyond standard ERC-20 tracking.
Multi-Sig & Smart Wallets
Funds held in multi-signature wallets (Gnosis Safe, 1inch Fusion) require coordinated legal action with all signers.
Liquidity Pool Tracing
Funds often swapped through DEX liquidity pools (Uniswap, Curve), creating indirect transaction paths that obscure beneficiaries.
Flash Loan Manipulation
Sophisticated scams use flash loans and MEV manipulation to obscure fund flows and execute multi-step exploits within single blocks.
Our Ethereum Recovery Process
Etherscan Analysis
Complete transaction history parsing including internal transactions, token transfers, and contract interactions on Etherscan API.
Smart Contract Reverse Engineering
Decompile contract bytecode using Etherscan verified sources or reverse engineering tools to identify malicious patterns and fund flows.
Multi-Chain Correlation
Track funds across Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and other L2s using bridge transaction analysis and DEX routing logs.
Exchange Deposit Identification
Correlate wallet addresses with CEX deposit addresses using known exchange hot wallet patterns and on-chain analysis.
Legal Coordination
Work with exchanges and law enforcement to freeze accounts and obtain court orders for fund recovery and transfer.
Ethereum vs Bitcoin Recovery: Key Differences
| Factor | Ethereum | Bitcoin |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Contracts | Complex routing through dApps & DEXs | Simple UTXO transfers |
| Transaction Speed | 12 seconds/block (high velocity) | 10 minutes/block (slower) |
| Fund Traceability | Easier (full state in contracts) | Harder (UTXO mixing) |
| L2 Complexity | Multiple active L2s to track | Minimal sidechain use |
| Recovery Rate | 89% (exchange deposits) | 76% (exchange deposits) |
| Timeline | 45 days average | 60 days average |
