Quick Start
This guide walks you through Cognivo in five steps. You will create an account, send your first message, run an on-chain lookup, and open your first wallet trace.
Time to complete: Under 5 minutes.
Step 1 — Create an Account
Go to chat.cognivolabs.io and choose how you'd like to sign in:
- Email and password for a standard account setup. See Sign Up with Email.
- Wallet login if you prefer signing in with your Ethereum wallet. See Sign In with Wallet.
Step 2 — Start a Conversation
Once signed in, you will land in Chat. Type a question and press Enter or click Send.
Try something like:
What is a blockchain mixer and why does it appear in fund flow traces?
The AI responds in the same conversation, so you can keep asking follow-up questions as you work.
Step 3 — Try a $COGNI Gateway Tool
$COGNI Gateway is Cognivo's built-in set of on-chain analysis tools. You activate it by asking naturally. No commands or code are required.
Try one of these in chat:
Look up the last few transactions for 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
What tokens has this wallet received recently? 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
Analyze the safety of this contract: 0x5B38Da6a701c568545dCfcB03FcB875f56beddC4
Cognivo selects the right tool, runs the lookup, and returns the result in your conversation.
$COGNI Gateway tools consume credits. Free accounts receive 10 credits per day. See Credits & Billing for details.
Step 4 — Trace a Wallet
Ask the AI to trace a wallet's fund flows:
Trace the outgoing transactions from 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
Cognivo runs the trace and returns a link to open the interactive Bubble Map in Wallet Tracer.
Step 5 — Explore the Bubble Map
In Wallet Tracer, your trace appears as an interactive graph. Each circle is a wallet or contract address. Arrows show fund flows between them.
From here you can:
- Click any node to see address details and type
- Click any arrow to see the transaction hash, value, and token
- Switch to Journey View to step through the trace in sequence
- Open the Terminals tab to see where the trace stopped
- Share the trace from the header
When you're ready, click Back to Chat to return to your conversation.
