Deconflict is a free, tool‑agnostic platform for law enforcement that shows when other agencies are working the same cryptocurrency wallets. It is not a tracing tool. It exists to help investigators coordinate, reduce duplication, and collaborate on complex crypto cases.
Free Crypto Deconfliction Platform
Crypto shows up in more reports and case files every year. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center has reported billions of dollars in annual losses tied to cryptocurrency‑related fraud, and those losses continue to grow. Behind those numbers are victims, open cases, and investigators trying to keep up with a fast‑moving digital landscape using limited time and resources.
Most agencies have responded by adding new tracing tools, training “crypto experts,” or joining task forces. Those steps matter, but they leave a specific operational problem unsolved: multiple agencies can be investigating the same wallets, on‑ and off‑ramps, and exchanges without knowing it. That is not a tracing problem. It is a deconfliction and collaboration problem.
Deconflict is a free, tool‑agnostic platform built to address that specific gap.
The first thing to understand about Deconflict is what it is not. It is not another tracing product. It does not replace your blockchain analytics tools, case management system, or evidence platforms.
Instead, Deconflict sits beside the tools you already use and answers a simpler question: “Is anyone else already working this wallet, and how can we coordinate if we need to?”
Deconflict does not require you to change the tools you already use. It works alongside your existing systems. You keep doing your investigations the same way, while Deconflict adds a shared layer that shows when cases overlap and allows agencies to collaborate securely.
Here is how Deconflict works at a high level:
- Investigators register the wallet addresses and related identifiers they are actively working.
- The platform checks whether other verified agencies have registered the same wallets.
- When there is overlap, it reveals that fact and provides a way to connect with the appropriate contact at the other agency.
- Agencies can then choose how much to collaborate, from simple deconfliction (“we will avoid stepping on each other”) to deeper joint work.
Crucially, Deconflict does not require you to upload case narratives, criminal histories, or personally identifiable information. You do not move case files into the platform. You can think of it as a simple “Google Search”.
In the words of one investigator:
“Before Deconflict, I had no visibility into other agencies’ investigations. Now, I can easily see when there’s overlap.”

What this looks like in practice
A realistic workflow for many detectives and agents looks like this:
- Receive a complaint, tip, or referral that includes a crypto wallet, QR code, or transaction hash
- First step: check Deconflict.com and report the identifier so it is instantly visible across 800+ law enforcement agencies
- If no overlaps appear, proceed as usual
- Run the identifier through your existing investigative tools and begin building the case
- If overlaps are identified, Deconflict shows which agencies are working the same wallets and how to contact them
At no point are you required to give up control of your case. Deconflict is there to help you avoid surprises and duplicated work, not to dictate who leads the case.
Why this matters now
Crypto‑related fraud and other crimes involving digital assets are not going away. As more victims report losses and more cases span multiple jurisdictions, the risk of uncoordinated work grows.
When three agencies are unknowingly tracing the same wallets and contacting the same exchanges, several things can happen:
- Investigative time is wasted on duplicated steps.
- Victims receive conflicting messages and timelines.
- Financial institutions see unsynchronized requests, which can slow or complicate responses.
Getting started with Deconflict
Access to Deconflict is free for verified law enforcement agencies. The onboarding process is straightforward:
