Is Serving Your Defendant Proving Impossible?

Critical litigation stalled by defendants hiding behind pseudonymous crypto wallets? Traditional service methods (personal, mail, email) are often impossible when physical and verifiable digital contacts are unavailable.

Case Stalled Indefinitely

The inability to meet fundamental service requirements grinds your client's pursuit of justice to a halt, potentially risking statute of limitations issues.

Wasted Resources

Billable hours and client funds are consumed by investigative efforts that yield no viable service address, leading to client pressure and budgetary concerns.

Annonymous Defendants

Perpetrators exploit blockchain's pseudonymity, believing they are beyond the law's reach. This creates an uneven playing field and undermines the legal process.

Frequently asked questions

This is a rapidly evolving area of law, but courts in several key common law jurisdictions have authorized or are considering service via blockchain notification when traditional methods are impracticable. Notable examples include:

  • United States: Cases like LCX AG v. John Doe Nos. 1-25 in New York and adversary proceedings in the Celsius Network LLC bankruptcy where service via NFT was authorized.
  • United Kingdom: Landmark cases such as D’Aloia v Persons Unknown & Others and Osbourne v Persons Unknown & Ors in the High Court have allowed service by NFT.
  • Hong Kong: The High Court has permitted NFT airdrops with links to court documents.
  • Singapore: The Singapore High Court has allowed substituted service via cryptocurrency wallet addresses in cases involving digital assets.

While these precedents are encouraging, the legal acceptance often depends on the specific facts presented, a clear demonstration that other service methods are unworkable, and how well the proposed blockchain method satisfies due process.

Courts are increasingly recognizing the necessity for innovative service methods when traditional means are impracticable against unknown defendants in cryptocurrency cases. Service via blockchain notification has been authorized in pioneering U.S. cases (e.g., LCX AG v. John Doe, NY; Celsius Network LLC bankruptcy, SDNY). We provide support for your motion to the court, demonstrating how our method is ‘reasonably calculated to provide notice’ and aligns with these emerging precedents.

Our process is designed with due process as a core consideration. By directing notice to an active cryptocurrency wallet address linked to the defendant’s activities (especially if it holds disputed assets), the method is ‘reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise interested parties of the pendency of the action.’ We provide comprehensive documentation of the service attempt to support this.

While actual viewing cannot be guaranteed (similar to service by publication), delivery to an active wallet address provides strong presumptive evidence of notification, especially if the wallet is associated with ongoing activity or holds assets the defendant is likely to monitor. The immutable blockchain record irrefutably proves the service attempt was made to the known digital address, which is often the only link to an otherwise anonymous defendant.

Minimal to none. Our service is a “done-for-you” solution. You provide the necessary case information and the target cryptocurrency wallet address; we manage all technical aspects of creating and delivering the blockchain notification and compiling the evidentiary support for your affidavit of service.
