Trace My Funds
You have a suspicious Solana transaction and one question: where did the funds go? Paste the signature and VikingIntel traces the movement in plain language — every claim backed by on-chain evidence, nothing dressed up.
How to trace stolen Solana funds
Six steps from a suspicious transaction to a cited evidence record you can hand to someone who can act.
- 01
Gather the transaction signature
Copy the base58 string from your wallet app, exchange notification, or Solana block explorer. This is the unique identifier for the transfer you want to trace. You need exactly one signature to start.
- 02
Paste it into VikingIntel
No account required. Paste the signature into the trace field and hit run. Your trace is queued and you can watch it resolve hop by hop — most finish quickly, and you will see its queue position at busy times.
- 03
Read the decoded transaction
The first result shows the exact flow: who sent what, to which addresses, how much SOL (or SPL tokens) moved, and when. Each destination is checked against a verified registry of exchanges, bridges, and known entities.
- 04
Follow the fund movement hop by hop
Click through each subsequent destination to expand the trace. VikingIntel walks outward from the original transaction, checking every new address against the registry. Unlabeled addresses stay unlabeled — never guessed, never assumed clean.
- 05
Check for truncation and gaps
If the trace hits its depth budget or a destination is behind a bridge with no public data, the result says so explicitly. TRAIL_TRUNCATED means the trail ran out of verifiable hops — it does not mean the funds disappeared or were recovered.
- 06
Claim the trace into a case
Create a free account and claim any trace. Claimed traces become cases with their own timeline and evidence log. Hand the case to an investigator, exchange fraud team, or law enforcement — every claim on the page carries its citation.
- Read-only — VikingIntel never asks for wallet connections or private keys
- No signup required to run your first trace
- No credit card required — completely free to start
- No recovery promises — evidence you can act on, not false hope
From signature to story in four steps
Paste the transaction signature
The one from your wallet app, an exchange notification, or a block explorer — the long base58 string that identifies the transfer you want to understand. No account needed to start.
Read what happened
VikingIntel decodes the transaction and narrates the fund movement in plain language: who sent what to whom, where it went next, and which destinations are known entities like exchanges or bridges.
Follow the hops
The trace walks outward hop by hop within a documented depth budget. Every destination is checked against the verified known-destination registry, and unlabeled addresses are shown as unlabeled — never guessed.
Keep or share the evidence
Every claim on the result page arrives with its citation — transaction signature, timestamp, and label. Create a free account and claim the trace into it, and it becomes part of a case you can keep working on or hand to someone who can act.
What makes this different from pasting a signature into an explorer
Explorers show you a transaction. VikingIntel tells you a story about it — and the difference between those two things is exactly where most tracing tools overpromise.
Observed, derived, attributed — always labeled
Every statement in the trace narrative is typed: OBSERVED facts come straight from the transaction; DERIVED conclusions are computed from them; ATTRIBUTED statements identify a destination because a verified registry shows it. Nothing reads as proven when it is inferred.
Unlabeled means unchecked, not clean
Destinations are checked against a verified registry of exchanges, bridges, and mixers. An address with no label is shown as unlabeled — it never silently looks safe.
Truncation is disclosed
If the trace hit its depth or fetch budget before resolving, the result says TRAIL_TRUNCATED rather than implying the money vanished or was found.
Values appear only when pricing earns them
Dollar figures show up only when independent pricing data agrees enough to meet a confidence policy — SPL tokens included. Where pricing cannot meet the bar, the trace shows raw amounts without inventing a dollar value.
No accusations, no recovery promises
The narration never names thieves, never promises recovery, and never draws legal conclusions. It describes what the chain shows.
Free to start, yours to keep
Anonymous visitors can run traces free. No credit card, no account, no trial period that converts into a subscription. Create a free account and claim any trace into it — claimed traces become cases with their own timeline and evidence, so the work you did while investigating survives the session.
Questions from theft and fraud victims
Straight answers. No marketing language.
What do I need to trace stolen Solana funds?▼
One transaction signature. That is the base58 string (about 88 characters) you get from your wallet, an exchange email, or a Solana explorer like Solscan. You do not need your seed phrase, private key, or any account credentials. VikingIntel reads only public ledger data.
Can VikingIntel recover my funds?▼
No. VikingIntel is an investigation tool, not a recovery service. It produces evidence — labeled fund movements, known destination addresses, and cited transaction histories — that you or someone with authority can act on. We do not contact exchanges on your behalf, freeze assets, or make legal claims. If someone promises recovery without evidence, be cautious.
Is my transaction data kept private?▼
Anonymous traces are not tied to any account. If you create a free account and claim a trace, only you can see it — unless you choose to share it. VikingIntel never sells user data. The blockchain itself is public; what VikingIntel adds is the interpretation and registry lookup, not the underlying transaction.
How is this different from just checking Solscan or SolanaFM?▼
Explorers show you raw transaction data — accounts, token balances, instruction data. VikingIntel reads those same transactions but adds context: where the funds went next (hop-by-hop), which destinations are known exchanges or bridges, and a narrative that labels every claim by its evidence type. It is the difference between a map and directions.
What if the trace shows TRAIL_TRUNCATED?▼
That means the trace reached its depth budget or encountered a destination it could not verify (a bridge with no public registry, a mixer, a fresh address with no known association). It is a factual statement about the limit of the trace, not a conclusion about the funds. An investigator can continue from any truncated endpoint inside a case — for example by starting a new trace onward from that address.
Can I use this evidence in a police report or legal filing?▼
VikingIntel provides cited, labeled evidence — every claim links to a transaction signature and timestamp. Whether that evidence is admissible depends on your jurisdiction and the specific legal context. What it gives you is a structured, verifiable record that a lawyer, investigator, or law enforcement analyst can evaluate. We do not provide legal opinions.
How deep can a trace go?▼
VikingIntel traces outward hop by hop, checking each destination against its verified registry. The exact depth depends on the transaction pattern — a direct transfer to an exchange resolves in one hop; a fund that hops through ten wallets before reaching a bridge may hit the depth budget. Every trace discloses where it stopped and why.
