# Tracer

The Tracer is Arkham’s graph-based tool for following fund flows between addresses. It allows you to build custom traces of counterparties and transactions, and review the specific movements of funds across chains.

A new trace is created automatically when you open the Tracer from the top bar of the platform.

The Tracer consists of 6 key functions:

Trace creation and naming – Add an address by typing or pasting it into the bar on the left-hand side. Traces are saved automatically. Double-click on Untitled Trace to rename it.

Inflow and Outflow views – Toggle between the two modes to show the top addresses that have recently sent funds to, or received funds from, the selected node. Add counterparties directly to the trace using the green buttons. All values are displayed in USD.

Fetching flows – After adding a new address, click Fetch Flows to load its transaction data. Once flows are fetched, top counterparties can be added to the graph as normal.

Transaction log – Click on any line connecting two nodes to view the underlying transactions that make up the displayed flow volume. The log lists each transaction in detail.

Filters – Narrow down flows using the filtering panel on the left. Search by token, USD value, token amount, time, or chain to focus the tracer on specific types of movement.

Trace management – Review and reopen previous traces via the All Traces tab. Create a new trace at any time using the blue button at the bottom of the panel.

The Tracer provides a flexible, visual way to investigate addresses, counterparties, and fund flows across Arkham-supported blockchains.
