Crypto disputes should be assessed by facts, evidence, forum and urgency. Familiarity with tokens is useful, but the team also needs the appropriate dispute and enforcement capability.[1][2]
Understanding the question
Preserve transaction records, communications, account details and the relevant agreements. Identify parties and locations before assuming which court or dispute mechanism applies. Ask who can act in the relevant forum and whether immediate preservation or protective steps need local counsel.[1][2]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Evidence | What records connect transactions, people and obligations? |
| Forum | Which contract, jurisdiction or procedure is relevant? |
| Urgency | What deadlines or asset movements may affect the strategy? |
Put it into practice
A wallet address can be a valuable evidence lead without itself proving the identity or liability of a person.
