Recognize, Trace, and Report On-Chain Activity. A framework-driven, NICE KSA-aligned course for investigators.
What you'll learn
⚡ Identify wallet types, UTXO vs. account-based models, and address clustering techniques
⚡ Trace fund flows across chains, detect change outputs, and follow multi-hop transaction paths
⚡ Interpret on-chain context: exchange deposit patterns, DeFi interactions, mixer usage, and bridge flows
⚡ Build a defensible transaction baseline before analyzing any target wallet or address
⚡ Recognize surface-level signatures of common exploit patterns, including reentrancy, flash loans, and governance attacks
Requirements
❗ No prior blockchain or coding experience required
❗ Familiarity with basic financial concepts (transactions, ledgers, wallets) is helpful but not essential
❗ Curiosity about how value moves and how to prove it
Description
What separates a finding from a guess?
Every day, billions of dollars move across public blockchains that are visible to anyone but interpretable by almost no one. Law enforcement, compliance teams, and financial crime analysts are increasingly expected to read on-chain data, flag anomalous behavior, and produce findings that hold up under scrutiny. Most have never been formally trained to do it.
This course changes that.
Blockchain Analysis Foundations walks you through a five-step investigative framework: Identify, Trace, Interpret, Validate, Report, which is built around one core discipline: the difference between what you can observe and what you can conclude. Every module enforces that standard. Every case study demands it.
You will work through real on-chain data, including the Glupteba botnet Bitcoin C2 channels, the Abracadabra DeFi exploit, DAO governance manipulation patterns, and multi-hop laundering flows. You will not just be shown what happened, you will be shown how to see it, how to document it, and how to explain it to someone who wasn't there.
By the end of this course, you will know how to build a baseline, recognize when something deviates from it, and write a flag that is defensible, not just dramatic.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
• Identify wallet types, UTXO vs. account-based models, and address clustering techniques
• Trace fund flows across chains, detect change outputs, and follow multi-hop transaction paths
• Interpret on-chain context: exchange deposit patterns, DeFi interactions, mixer usage, and bridge flows
• Build a defensible transaction baseline before analyzing any target wallet or address
• Distinguish anomalous behavior from malicious behavior and explain the difference in writing
• Apply the three-part flag standard: Observed / Deviation from baseline / Next step needed
• Recognize surface-level signatures of common exploit patterns, including reentrancy, flash loans, and governance attacks
• Produce evidence-calibrated findings suitable for compliance reports, legal briefings, and expert testimony
• (DAO Track) Identify healthy governance activity vs. Sybil attacks and vote manipulation
REQUIREMENTS
• No prior blockchain or coding experience required, but helpful
• Familiarity with basic financial concepts (transactions, ledgers, wallets) is helpful but not essential
• Curiosity about how value moves and how to prove it
Who this course is for
⭐ Investigators & Law Enforcement Detectives, federal agents, and financial crime units who encounter cryptocurrency in cases and need to read on-chain evidence without relying entirely on vendor tools.
⭐ Compliance & AML Analysts BSA officers, AML analysts, and FinCrime practitioners at banks, exchanges, and fintechs who need to understand what their blockchain monitoring tools are actually flagging.
⭐ Forensics Practitioners & Expert Witnesses Digital forensics professionals adding blockchain analysis to their toolkit, and practitioners who may be called to explain findings in legal or regulatory proceedings.
⭐ Analysts-in-Training Students and career-changers entering crypto forensics, FinCrime, or cybersecurity who want a structured, credentialed foundation aligned to the NICE KSA framework.
