Crystal launches activity tracking feature

by the Crystal product team

We have just launched the “Activity” tool on the Crystal™ platform. This allows users to monitor activities of specific addresses and they can get notifications when balances for those addresses change. Users are able to set a minimum balance change, assign a name to every case, and they have the option to receive email notifications.

Example of the activity notification in Crystal interface

This solution is designed for users who need to track specific addresses over an undetermined period. In an investigation, funds or addresses may sit dormant for months until they are moved. The activity tool immediately detects this change and sends a notification to the users.

We used a beta version of the activity tool in our blockchain investigation into the Electrum Bitcoin Wallet theft case. When the alleged hacker began moving funds from addresses that were known to be compromised, the team received notifications that helped us to update the case as the weeks went on.

Get in touch if there are any features you’d like to suggest to the team, or if you’d like more information about the platform.
