DART combines proprietary forensic tooling with a purpose built custody infrastructure, so that vulnerable digital assets can be identified, protected, and carried through to a compliant, lawful return.
Recovering a digital asset is a technical problem end to end. DART builds the tooling and infrastructure for every stage, so nothing gets stuck waiting on the next.
Proprietary monitoring surfaces at risk and displaced digital assets, then builds a defensible on chain attribution record tying assets to their source.
Recovered assets move into a purpose built custodial system engineered to withstand challenge, keeping them protected while resolution is reached.
Our platform carries each recovery case to a defined endpoint, a negotiated, ordered, or otherwise lawful return, through infrastructure built for exactly that.
Monitoring tooling flags vulnerable or displaced assets in real time.
Forensic analysis builds an evidentiary chain of custody back to source.
Assets are moved into a compliant custody structure, removing further risk.
Claims are prepared and routed through the appropriate resolution channel.
Assets are lawfully transferred back to their rightful owner.
Technical recovery is only half the problem. Assets that are found but have nowhere secure to sit stay exposed. DART's custody infrastructure was engineered from the ground up to give recovered digital assets a protected, compliant home while resolution is reached.
Assets are held inside a purpose formed custodial trust, giving recovery a defined, auditable structure rather than an informal holding arrangement.
Every asset entering the platform carries a documented attribution and custody record supporting a clear claim to lawful ownership.
Custody and disposition tooling is built to operate within applicable regulatory requirements from intake through final return.
The platform is built toward a clear endpoint, a negotiated, adjudicated, or otherwise compliant transfer, rather than indefinite holding.
