Address Board v Transaction Board

As blockchain-related crime grows in complexity, so too must the tools used to investigate it. Merkle Science Tracker is purpose-built to address the diverse and evolving needs of crypto investigators by offering two distinct types of investigation boards — the Address Board and the Transaction Board. Each serves a specialized purpose within the investigative workflow, ensuring that users can effectively handle both broad relationship mapping and precision asset tracing.

The Address Board is optimized for mapping connections and uncovering hidden associations between addresses and entities, making it ideal for exposure assessments and early-stage investigations. In contrast, the Transaction Board is engineered for pinpoint accuracy in tracking asset movement across complex and layered transactions, supporting scenarios like fund tracing, asset recovery, and seizure preparation.

By providing these two tailored views, Tracker empowers investigators to adapt their approach to the unique demands of each case — whether they are identifying networks of suspicious behavior or zeroing in on a single trail of illicit transactions.

When creating a new board, users will have the option to choose between creating an Address Board or Transaction Board
