Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) refers to the process of collecting, analyzing, and making use of information that is publicly available. This information can come from a wide variety of sources, including media outlets, public databases, internet forums, social media platforms, and more. OSINT is a crucial tool in the world of intelligence and investigation, providing valuable insights that can inform decision-making and strategy.
Blockchain transactions and cryptocurrency activities, while offering a degree of transparency, often present a partial view of the activities of individuals and entities. This is where OSINT becomes invaluable. By supplementing on-chain investigation and analysis with off-chain OSINT, we can provide a fuller, more comprehensive picture about the individuals and entities that are the targets of investigation or due diligence.
OSINT allows us to delve into the off-chain activities of these entities, uncovering relevant information that might not be immediately apparent from on-chain data alone. This could include identifying connections between individuals, uncovering hidden off-chain assets, or revealing potential risks or opportunities.
At Crypto Investigators, our experienced investigators understand the nuances of OSINT and are adept at executing legally-defensible OSINT investigations. We adhere to the highest ethical standards and legal guidelines, ensuring that the intelligence we gather is not only accurate and relevant, but also obtained in a manner that respects privacy laws and regulations.
Our team’s deep understanding of both the blockchain landscape and the intricacies of OSINT allows us to provide a unique service that combines these two critical areas. We leverage our expertise to provide you with a more complete understanding of the entities you are investigating or conducting due diligence on.
At Crypto Investigators, we’ve honed a unique approach to Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) that sets us apart in the industry. While our capabilities extend to all facets of OSINT gathering, analysis, and investigation, our true strength lies in the seamless integration of OSINT with on-chain analysis.

Our focus is on those cases that stand to benefit most from this dual approach. By combining the transparency and traceability of on-chain data with the breadth and depth of off-chain OSINT, we can illuminate the full picture in a way that neither approach could achieve on its own. This fusion of on-chain and off-chain intelligence allows us to delve deeper, uncover hidden connections, and provide our clients with actionable insights that are grounded in a thorough understanding of both the blockchain landscape and the broader digital world.
In a world where data is abundant yet often fragmented, our approach ensures that no stone is left unturned. Whether we’re investigating a complex cybercrime, conducting due diligence on a potential investment, or assessing the threat landscape for a high-profile individual, our unique approach to OSINT ensures that our clients have the most complete and accurate information at their disposal.
