Wallbrook is the trusted partner for investors and innovators in cryptocurrency and DeFi

We were first introduced to crypto through financial crime investigations and the proliferation of digital financial frauds affecting our clients. Having worked with clients to mitigate initial financial crime concerns, we have remained involved as crypto and digital assets have emerged as a new asset class. As a B Corp and leading ESG advisor we remain extremely concerned by the environmental impact of proof of work consensus mechanisms but fully support the rapid maturity of blockchain technologies and DeFi protocols fuelling the growth of web 3.0.

Defi diligence

Wallbrook’s DeFi team combine deep technical diligence of blockchain and layer 2 projects with qualitative insight into development teams, project maturity, community incentives, and the potential for large scale adoption and tokenomics. Excited by the development of DeFi and a multi-chain future, many of the DAOs and projects we analyse are buoyed soley by the bull market and often enjoy limited scrutiny from VCs and launchpads. By helping early users and investors avoid weak projects and teams we provide a critical contribution to the crypto community, bringing unique investigative rigour and insight. Our focus is on identifying high-quality projects and founders throughout development, token allocation and post-launch adoption, and to both support and protect these projects through their rapid growth.

Crypto DILIGENCE & Investigations

We continue to support our clients in various crypto-related investigations where major frauds have been perpetrated following the failure of exchanges, counterparties or through oracle and smart contract disputes. Wallbrook has worked on a wide variety of assignments and investigations involving some of the most prominent DAOs, as well as a range of decentralised (DEX) and centralised exchanges or wallets, miners and other anonymous and pseudonymous market participants.
