Unit 4 · Level 1 · First investigations
Your investigation toolkit
Every investigation you've run this league (the swap, the rug, the reserves) followed the same skeleton: define the question, find the entry point, read the transaction, zoom out to the wallet, follow the money, then write a verdict from evidence. Master this loop and any hash, headline, or hot tip becomes checkable.
Free to play. No ads, no token, no account needed to start.
What you get asked
Assemble the universal investigation workflow
Question → entry point → close read → context → trail → verdict. Six steps that scale from 'was I hacked?' to million-euro forensics.
Match the tool to the question it answers
Pick the tool by the question, not the other way round. Most dead-end investigations started at the wrong page.
What separates a good on-chain verdict from a bad one?
'The funds moved to a labelled exchange wallet' is evidence. 'So the CEO stole them' is a leap. The best analysts mark exactly where the chain's knowledge ends.
The chain shows what happened, but it rarely shows ___. Motives live off-chain.
Timestamps, amounts, and destinations are all on the ledger. Intent never is: a transfer to an exchange could be a sale, collateral, or payroll.
How does this toolkit change how you read crypto news and hype?
'Whale buys millions', 'reserves fully backed', 'team tokens locked'. You no longer have to take anyone's word. One boss fight left: bring the whole toolkit. 🐜
