What should I do if crypto was stolen from my wallet?

Stop signing transactions or connecting the compromised wallet, preserve the first suspicious transaction hash, and move remaining assets to a fresh wallet from a clean device. Then document the fund route and prepare evidence for any identifiable service that receives the assets.

What matters

A blockchain transfer cannot be reversed, but its public route may be analyzed.

Never share a seed phrase, private key, or password; none is required for tracing.

Tracing cannot guarantee recovery, but it can identify intermediate addresses and possible destinations.

Safe next actions

  • Save the wallet address, transaction hash, network, asset, amount, and time.
  • Review and revoke dangerous token permissions with a trusted network tool.
  • Run a free Incident Scan without connecting the wallet.

When specialist help is useful

Use specialist support when funds cross several addresses, reach a centralized service, or require an evidence timeline.
