On-chain reading — wallet flow for Vital Markets:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for Vital Markets.
• Forwarding wallets on the deposit chain — each hop documented with the forwarding tx hash and the consolidating wallet.
• Bridge events into chains where the operator can off-ramp at scale.
• Mixer or privacy-service interactions, where present, listed with the contract address and the deposit/withdraw side.
• Off-ramp endpoint — the centralised exchange deposit address holding the compliance lever.

The annotation continues — off-ramp endpoint:

• On the Vital Markets casefile, the off-ramp endpoint resolves to a centralised exchange — Bitfinex, MEXC, or Crypto.com seen often in this segment, with the larger venues routed through under stress.
• The off-ramp wallet for Vital Markets is run against chain-analytics datasets and the Professor’s own compliance feeds.
• A regulator-ready packet is delivered to the named counterparty — the Vital Markets casefile is built to the off-ramp’s compliance standard.
• Where the off-ramp will not engage, Vital Markets escalates to IC3, state AG, and civil-discovery overlay.
