Wallet workflow

Review a crypto wallet address carefully.

A workflow for reading public blockchain records without making identity claims.

Passive and safe research workflow

When I use this

You have Wallet address and want to check it through safe, legal, source-based research.

What you get

Wallet context note, transaction summary, label source, and confidence level.

What I would be careful with here

The order I follow

Work through the steps in order.

  1. Record chain and address

    Write address, chain, and observation date.

    The address is checked on the correct chain.

  2. Read transaction context

    Look at inputs, outputs, timing, and major movements.

    One transaction is not turned into intent.

  3. Use labels carefully

    Record explorer or report labels with source names.

    Label uncertainty is stated.

  4. Add confidence

    Use verified, likely, possible, or unverified.

    Attribution is not too strong.

What I can and cannot say

Public blockchain data shows transaction traces; it does not identify a real person by itself.
