Law enforcement and government

From a victim report to a records request. In one platform.

Built by former federal prosecutors and FBI agents for the agencies doing the work. Glacier21 traces the funds to the exchange, crosses off-chain to identify the person behind the wallet, and keeps the evidence in a form that holds up when the defense asks how you know.

The workflow

Four steps every crypto case goes through.

Most tools cover the second one. Glacier21 covers all four, in the same case.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Open the case from whatever the complaint gives you: a wallet, a transaction, an email, a phone number, a handle or a name in any language.

  2. 02

    Trace

    Auto-trace follows the funds across chains and bridges to the exchanges, mixers and services they reached, with every unit accounted for.

  3. 03

    Identify

    Cross off-chain: web footprint, usernames, names in any language and, where granted, breach records that tie the wallet to a person.

  4. 04

    Request

    Take the exchange and the deposit address to a preservation request or subpoena, with the trace and its sources in the case file.

Trace

Find the exchange that can put a name to the account.

Auto-trace follows stolen funds hop by hop, across 28 bridge protocols, and books every unit into a bucket: exchanges, services, wallets still holding funds, and the paths it stopped on and why. Every cash-out names the exchange it reached. How auto-trace works →

  • FIFO or haircut, saved with the trace
  • Exact UTXO tracing on Bitcoin
  • The exchange named for the request

Identify

Your subject does not spell their name in English.

Cross-border cases stall on names. Type a name in Chinese, Cyrillic or Persian and Glacier21 matches it against legal names, aliases and sanctions listings as written. Here three characters return an OFAC-designated individual and the exchange deposit wallets tied to him. How identity search works →

  • Names, emails, phones and handles
  • Sanctions and law-enforcement flags up front
  • Web footprint and breach records, where granted

Work the case together

The analyst, the agent and the prosecutor on one case.

Teammates work the same trace board and see each other's cursors and edits live. Prosecutors and supervisors join as free viewers, so the case file they review is the one the team is working, not a screenshot of it.

  • Live cursors, comments and @mentions
  • Free viewers and case guests
  • Restricted cases for sensitive matters

Evidence integrity

Built for the question the defense will ask.

How do you know? Glacier21 keeps the evidence, the sources and the history together, so the answer is in the case file.

SOURCED

Every label cited

Each attribution shows the source that produced it, so it can be checked and explained.
INTEGRITY

Hashed evidence snapshots

Every pin saves a SHA-256 snapshot of what you saw and when, even if the data changes later.
AUDIT

Tamper-evident case log

Case activity is written to a hash chain. One click verifies nothing was edited or removed.
REPRODUCIBLE

Traces the defense can rerun

Each auto-trace saves its settings and a result hash. Same inputs, same answer.

Access controls

Need-to-know, enforced by the software.

Sensitive matters stay with the people assigned to them, and every change to who can see what is recorded.

RESTRICTED

Restricted cases

Lock a sensitive case to its members. Even investigators in your organization cannot open it.
ROLES

Organization and case roles

Owners, admins, investigators, viewers and guests, plus lead, contributor and viewer on each case.
PROSECUTORS

Free viewers and guests

Supervisors, prosecutors and outside counsel read and comment on cases without taking a seat.
SENSITIVE DATA

Breach access by grant

Breach intelligence is enabled per organization and per member, with a notice and a log of every lookup.
LOGGED

Organization audit log

Member, invite and key changes go into a hash-chained log admins can verify.
SHARING

Watermarked share links

Send a read-only view of a trace outside the team. Every view carries a watermark.

FAQ

Questions agencies ask us.

Is Glacier21 built for law enforcement?

Yes. Glacier21 was built by former federal prosecutors and FBI agents, and investigators are who it is built for first: police departments, federal and state agencies, prosecutors' offices and task forces.

How do we find out who to subpoena?

Auto-trace follows the funds until they reach a wallet or deposit address that Glacier21 labels as belonging to an exchange, and names the exchange. That exchange is the one that can identify the account holder.

Can we start from an email or phone number in a complaint?

Yes. One search box takes wallets, transactions, emails, phone numbers, handles and names in any language, and returns the wallets and records connected to them.

Can prosecutors see our cases without a paid seat?

Yes. Viewers and case guests are free. They can read cases and comment without editing, and guests only see the cases they are invited to.

Will the evidence hold up in court?

Every label is sourced, pins are saved as hashed snapshots, traces are reproducible and the case log is tamper-evident. Our team can also prepare expert reports and testify.

How do agencies buy Glacier21?

Units can start with per-investigator seats at published prices. Larger agencies usually contract on Avalanche, which includes a security review and invoicing. Request a demo and we will walk you through both.
