Who uses Tracely — protocols, traders, and the merely curious
"On-chain forensics" sounds like something only three-letter agencies need. In practice, the people opening Tracely every day look more like this.
Protocols screening deposits
A deposit arrives. Is it five hops from a sanctioned address? Did it touch a mixer last week? Compliance teams screen incoming addresses in bulk against 17 risk categories — OFAC, Tornado Cash, no-KYC exchanges, stolen funds — before the deposit becomes their problem. No contract, no per-seat license.
Teams watching their own treasury
Treasury wallets interact with dozens of counterparties. Monitoring them in Tracely shows exposure building up before an auditor, an exchange or a journalist points it out.
Sites embedding live risk data
Wallet checkers, DEX frontends, NFT markets and dashboards drop Tracely's risk scores and cluster graphs into their own pages with a single iframe. Their users get live AML context without leaving the site.
Traders checking counterparties
Before an OTC deal or a P2P swap: paste the other side's address. A cluster full of mixer flows and stolen-funds proximity is worth knowing about before the funds land in your wallet — because after that, their history is your problem.
People checking themselves
The least expected use case, and the most common one: what does my own address reveal? Which wallets are publicly linkable to you through shared deposits and gas funding? What would a centralized exchange's compliance desk see when you withdraw? One address says more than you think — better to read your own cluster before someone else does.
Anyone following an exploit
When news breaks, the addresses are public within hours — and anyone can follow them. The Bybit/Lazarus cluster ($1.5B, 5,147 wallets) and the Cetus exploit ($223M across three chains) are traceable live in Tracely, with the same tools you get for free.
Whichever column you're in: it starts with pasting one address.
