Tracing a darknet lead on HashKey Chain starts with the right network. The check cannot read the network from a 0x address, so first confirm that the activity sits on this one.
Reading the flow
The free check shows the HSK balance and the activity count. A high count on a fresh address tells you the trail is worth following. Then open the public explorer and walk outward through counterparties, one hop at a time.
Keeping the trace usable
Write each hop with its address, the network name and the time. A string copied without its network label can send a colleague to the wrong chain. Label first, then trace.
