Wallet recovery

MetaMask

Trace and respond to MetaMask incidents — drained wallets, malicious approvals, or lost access to a seed phrase.

How MetaMask works at a glance

MetaMask is the most-used browser wallet on Ethereum and EVM chains. The wallet itself is non-custodial, so most incidents involve either a lost 12 or 24 word seed phrase, a forgotten password on a local install, or a malicious smart-contract approval that drained funds. Each path needs a different response.

Situations we commonly help with

If any of these sound like your case, we've handled it before.

Drained by a malicious approval

You signed something on a phishing site and tokens left the wallet. We trace the route and prepare an exchange-ready report.

Forgotten local password, seed available

You have your 12 or 24 word seed but cannot remember the password set on the local extension.

Partial seed phrase

You wrote down most of the words but one or two are missing or unreadable.

Compromised seed from a fake support agent

The seed was shared with someone posing as MetaMask support and the wallet is being actively monitored.

How it works

A transparent five-step process so you always know what's happening next.

  1. Step 1

    Case assessment

    We listen to your situation, review the basic facts, and decide together whether an investigation makes sense.

  2. Step 2

    Blockchain analysis

    We trace transactions across chains, cluster addresses, and identify exchange touchpoints and intermediaries.

  3. Step 3

    Evidence compilation

    Findings are turned into a clear, court-ready report you can hand to law enforcement or counsel.

  4. Step 4

    Authority coordination

    We work alongside law enforcement and compliance teams at exchanges to act on the evidence.

  5. Step 5

    Resolution & reporting

    You receive a final written summary outlining what was uncovered and the outcomes obtained.
