Smart Contract Forensics

Smart contract forensics is the analysis of a contract's decoded internal calls, events, and state changes to reconstruct how it handled and routed funds.

Value on account-based chains often moves through contracts rather than plain transfers, so following it means reading internal calls and emitted events, not just top-level transactions. Smart contract forensics uses decoded on-chain data and archive trace access to reconstruct exactly how a contract received, transformed, and forwarded funds — critical for DeFi exploits, bridges, and complex laundering. It turns opaque contract execution into legible hops that fund-flow tracing can extend and that entity clustering can attribute. The reconstructed internal flow feeds the counterparty graph and exposure breakdown, ensuring value routed through contracts is not lost from a trace.
