METHODOLOGY
Our Forensic Investigation Capabilities
We employ a structured, multi-layered approach to deconstruct attacks, identify root causes, and provide actionable intelligence for recovery and prevention.
01
Transaction Flow Reconstruction
We trace and map the complete attack lifecycle across all involved protocols, wallets, and cross-chain bridges to identify the exact entry point, fund movement, and final exit strategy.

Trace Coverage
02
Smart Contract Vulnerability Analysis
Our experts perform a deep-dive code review to pinpoint the exploited vulnerability—whether it's a logic flaw, reentrancy, oracle manipulation, or access control failure—and document the exact exploit path.
