FININT
Financial and blockchain traces
FININT here means reading financial claims through public records and blockchain data with care. Attribution and ownership claims should always carry confidence levels.
First steps
- Separate the claimed person, company, wallet, or transaction.
- Record the official source or block explorer used.
- Separate ownership claims from transaction observations.
- Add uncertainty and limits to the report.
Limits
- Do not tie a wallet to a real person without strong evidence.
- Do not publish private financial information unnecessarily.
- Do not treat one explorer label as final attribution.
