Find the right record
Start with the full identifier and network. Distinguish an address page from a transaction page, and preserve any ambiguity instead of guessing.

Blockchain Investigation Guides
Follow practical blockchain investigation guides: identify a record, verify its context, trace supported relationships and write a clear evidence note.
Use this sequence for learning or a narrowly scoped public-record inquiry. It does not establish legal admissibility, identify every account owner or guarantee an outcome. For consequential matters, seek appropriately qualified review.
Read the network correctly
Choose a chain-specific guide. Solana account roles, Ethereum event records and Bitcoin outputs should not be collapsed into one generic transfer story.
Cryptocurrency Block Explorers: What Each View Really Shows →Verify the asset
A ticker is a clue, not a complete identity. Compare the network-specific contract or mint before reconciling amounts.
Stablecoin Block Detective: Research USDC and USDT Transfers →Trace only supported relationships
Keep each selected edge tied to a record or label it as a hypothesis. Cross-chain links need connecting evidence, not matching amounts alone.
Stablecoin Transaction Explorers: Research Across Chains →Document the finding and the limit
Write the question, sources, observed facts, calculations and unresolved issues separately. Keep the executive summary no stronger than the evidence.

making a real claim.
The illustrative workspace lets you select a sample edge, inspect its note, switch to the table and export the invented dataset. No real address is represented.

of every label.
Use the methodology to distinguish source observations from calculations and interpretations. An external label is a sourced claim, not a fact encoded in a transaction hash.
