In the realm of cryptocurrencies, the transparency of the blockchain technology allows for comprehensive on-chain data analysis. This dashboard serves as a critical tool for investigating and assessing the claims made by Elliptic and BitOK  regarding the financial aid to the Hamas militant groupt in the matter.

The central focus of this dashboard is to delve into the veracity of these claims by scrutinizing the blockchain data related to 26 addresses provided by Elliptic and 51 addresses provided by BitOK, all of which operate on the Tron network. By doing so, we aim to provide an independent and fact-based evaluation of the events surrounding the alleged crypto funding of Hamas and its affiliates.

🗝️ Key Components of the Investigation:

Elliptic's Claim: Elliptic initially asserted in July 2023 that the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) had received a substantial sum of $93 million through specific addresses (Israel counter terror seizure order). Our investigation will seek to verify the accuracy of these claims by analyzing the provided addresses and their connections to PIJ or other entities.

BitOK's Claim: BitOK put forth a claim of $41 million in crypto funding to Hamas based on addresses disclosed in Israeli counter-terror seizure orders ([1][2]). Our analysis will examine these addresses and their potential association with Hamas.

🎯 Objectives of the Dashboard:

This dashboard aims to provide a comprehensive and transparent exploration of the blockchain data associated with the claims made by Elliptic and BitOK, with a focus on the critical task of characterizing the addresses disclosed in the Israeli seizure orders. By doing so, we hope to contribute to a more informed understanding of the situation and its implications. We encourage the use of data visualization and other work products that can aid in a holistic comprehension of the entire narrative.

Ultimately, our goal is to provide an impartial and evidence-based assessment that can help stakeholders, policymakers, and the general public make informed judgments about the crypto funding claims and their potential impact on the cryptocurrency industry.

Data Collection and Analysis

This section of the dashboard is focused on the collection and analysis of data related to the receiving and sending of assets for reported addresses on the Tron network. To accomplish this, the following data sources and methods are utilized:

⚡ Flipsidecrypto LiveQuery:

• Data Query: The Flipsidecrypto LiveQuery is employed to query data directly from a range of APIs. It allows for real-time access to information related to asset transactions involving the reported addresses under investigation on the Tron blockchain using the Bitquery API.

• Bitquery APIs: Bitquery's APIs are used to index data from a multitude of blockchains, including the Tron network. These APIs enable the retrieval of specific data, such as transaction details and wallet balances, pertaining to the addresses of interest. They provide an essential source of data for the investigation.

Tronscan APIs

• Address Tagging: Tronscan APIs are leveraged to obtain address tags, which are labels or descriptors associated with specific wallet addresses on the Tron blockchain. These tags help in attributing the addresses to particular entities or organizations, contributing to the contextualization of the data

Token Analysis

In addition to monitoring asset transfers, the dashboard also checks for specific tokens, including USDT, USDC, and TRX, within the transactions associated with the reported addresses. This token analysis aids in understanding the nature and purpose of these transactions and their significance in the broader investigation.
