Xerberus, an industry-leading cryptocurrency risk rating protocol, has launched its free crypto scam recovery tool, Siren, following months of rigorous beta-testing and continuous development. 

Siren puts the power back into the hands of everyday crypto users by allowing them to map and then report any scams they face whilst trading coins on a network. It is supported by a network of lawyers who can then litigate to recover funds for a fee. Siren allows all crypto users to report a transaction if they have been scammed. It then generates a free full on-chain report highlighting exactly where the coin or token went after the scam.

This report can then be shared with a growing network of specialist London law firms with a deep understanding of Blockchain technology to action the legal proceedings for recovery. In essence, Siren offers the first one-stop shop to recover scammed coins and tokens.

Siren algorithmically produces a map of wallet transactions using Xerberus’ Wallet Graph technology. It maps the movement of assets between all the involved wallets on the chain and highlights the ‘bystander’ wallets, as well as those that are unaffected, to give a holistic overview of the severity of the scam. Correlations identified across scams are used to better understand the behaviours of scammers, to make the industry safer, and to identify potential scams before anything is stolen.

If a case goes to court, all recovered funds from the scam are distributed across the affiliated parties, with the cost of recovery taken from the recovered funds, a 5% surplus is distributed to affiliated wallets on the coin network and the rest of the funds are returned to the scammed user. 

Siren delivers equity for all parties and seeks to stamp out scammers by making it easier for crypto users to report and raise awareness of their stolen funds. Xerberus is democratising justice and putting power back into victims’ hands by making the litigation process inclusive to all investors, not just high-net-worth individuals.
