# Analyze

## Analyze (Intelligent Analysis)

The default analysis feature of MetaSleuth. In addition to retrieving basic asset transfer data, **Analyze** incorporates intelligent techniques to facilitate the user's analysis process. Therefore, we also refer to it as "Intelligent Analysis."

You can access the Analyze feature in two main ways: through the search box on the homepage or by selecting an address node on the canvas.

### Analyzing a Transaction

When analyzing a transaction, MetaSleuth displays all the asset transfers that occur within the transaction on the canvas.

The currently supported chains for transaction analysis include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BSC, TRON[^1], Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Avalanche, Base, Fantom, and Linea.

### Analyzing an Address

Analyzing addresses involves a more complex algorithm. When analyzing an address, MetaSleuth applies intelligent search and filtering techniques to enhance the efficiency of data retrieval and presentation.

#### 🙋‍♂️ What data does Analyze retrieve for an address?

* Recent asset transfers: Analyze retrieves information about the most recent asset transfers associated with the address (small amounts will be filtered out). If a transfer is identified as a cross-chain transfer, you can utilize the "InterChain Tracker" to locate the bridged assets. For more details, please refer to the [InterChain Tracker Panel](/user-manual/canvas-and-panels/interchain-tracker-panel.md) section.
* Critical paths: Analyze also provides information about reachable paths within two hops between the address and centralized exchanges or mixers. Currently, this feature is only supported for Ethereum.

For addresses with high transaction volumes, you may encounter the ⚠️ prompt on the address node, indicating that MetaSleuth has not retrieved all transfer data. In such cases, you can consider the following options if you want more data:

1. Utilize [Advanced Analysis](/user-manual/trace-funds-ways-to-retrieve-transfer-data/advanced-analysis.md) to retrieve additional data.
2. Import data through [Add Address/Tx](/user-manual/trace-funds-ways-to-retrieve-transfer-data/add-address-tx.md) to ensure comprehensive analysis.
   {% endhint %}

#### 🙋‍♀️ What data does Analyze prioritize displaying?

Not all retrieved data is displayed on the canvas. There are certain data types that we prioritize for display:

* Interactions with high-risk addresses.
* Interactions with centralized exchanges, mixers, and cross-chain bridges.
* The earliest and latest interactions.
* Interactions with known entities.
* Contract creation relationships.

{% hint style="info" %}
How to display the unshown interactions?

To view the unshown interactions, navigate to the address panel where you can find all the interactions listed. Additionally, there are several handy tools available to filter the interactions based on criteria such as direction, token, datetime, and more.
