When the funds moved
Value moved out of the tagged wallets each month (transfers of $10K or more).
Funds trail, step by step
| Step | Went to | Value |
|---|---|---|
| 1st hop | Contracts (swap services, bridges, other apps) | $114.4M |
The 2nd hop follows ETH sent on by the 10 wallets that received the most in the 1st hop. Funds can pass through the same wallets more than once, so these totals can be larger than the amount stolen. “Contracts” are smart contracts such as swap services, bridges and other apps without a public label in our lists; “plain wallets” are ordinary addresses. Laundering usually runs through many of both, and through other chains we don’t follow.
