Crypto forensics company AMLBot has launched AI Tracer, a tool designed to help users track stolen digital assets without specialist knowledge [1, 2].
The service aims to democratize blockchain forensics by removing the technical barriers that typically prevent individual victims from locating their missing funds. By automating the tracing process, the company intends to allow anyone to identify the movement of stolen coins quickly [1, 2].
Blockchain analysis usually requires deep technical expertise or the hiring of expensive professional firms. AI Tracer uses artificial intelligence to simplify this process, enabling non-technical users to conduct self-service investigations into their lost assets [1, 2].
The tool currently supports 14 different blockchains [2]. This cross-chain capability allows users to follow assets as they move across different networks, a common tactic used by attackers to obscure the trail of stolen funds.
AMLBot developed the service to address the gap between the occurrence of crypto theft and the ability of victims to gather evidence. The AI-enabled system processes complex ledger data to provide a clearer picture of where assets have been transferred [1, 2].
“trace stolen digital assets without specialist knowledge”
The introduction of self-service AI tracing tools marks a shift in the crypto ecosystem from exclusive professional forensics to accessible consumer tools. While these tools help victims gather evidence, they do not provide the legal authority to freeze funds or reverse transactions, meaning users still rely on law enforcement and exchange cooperation to recover assets.
