Effectively captures behavioral patterns through combined static and dynamic graph analysis.
Abstract
The scaled Web 3.0 digital economy, represented by decentralized finance (DeFi), has sparked increasing interest in the past few years, which usually relies on blockchain for token transfer and diverse transaction logic. However, illegal behaviors, such as financial fraud, hacker attacks, and money laundering, are rampant in the blockchain ecosystem and seriously threaten its integrity and security. In this paper, we propose a novel double graph-based Ethereum account de-anonymization inference method, dubbed DBG4ETH, which aims to capture the behavioral patterns of accounts comprehensively and has more robust analytical and judgment capabilities for current complex and continuously generated transaction behaviors. Specifically, we first construct a global static graph to build complex interactions between the various account nodes for all transaction data. Then, we also construct a…
