On-chain reading — wallet flow for GrayAssets:

• Claimant deposit hashes — provided in the case submission and verified against the public ledger for GrayAssets.
• 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.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for GrayAssets:

• GrayAssets off-ramps consistently to centralised exchanges — Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini appear less often than the offshore venues; the casefile names the actual endpoint.
• The GrayAssets off-ramp address is matched to known compliance feeds — the Professor’s standing dataset plus chain-analytics references.
• Compliance leverage is applied at the named counterparty for GrayAssets — the packet meets the off-ramp’s published compliance standard.
• When the GrayAssets off-ramp does not respond, escalation runs through IC3 (for US claimants), state AG, and (above a dollar threshold) civil-discovery overlay.

Pathway to recovery — what happens after the trail is mapped:

1. Triage on GrayAssets — submission read against a no-go checklist, written go/no-go returned to the claimant inside one business day.
2. Trace on GrayAssets — deposit pathway mapped across chains, captured with chain-of-custody hashes.
3. Identify on GrayAssets — off-ramp endpoint matched to a named exchange counterparty.
4. File the GrayAssets packet — IC3, state AG (where loss meets state thresholds), off-ramp compliance desk, and civil-discovery overlay where dollar value supports it.
5. Follow-through on GrayAssets — the Professor stays on the casefile until a documented next step exists.

What the on-chain reading covers:

• Deposit-side chains in GrayAssets casefiles — typically the major chains (BTC, ETH) and the high-throughput stablecoin chains (Tron USDT, BSC USDT) — with bridge crossings noted.
• Off-ramps named in GrayAssets packets — centralised exchanges that accept regulator-grade compliance filings.
• Filing options on GrayAssets — IC3 (US), state AG, off-ramp compliance desk, civil-discovery KYC where the dollar value warrants it.
