Abstract
Cryptocurrency network analysis consists of applying the tools and methods of social network analysis to transactional data issued from cryptocurrencies. The main difference with most online social networks is that users do not exchange textual content but instead value -- in systems designed mainly as cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin -- or digital items and services in more permissive systems based on smart contracts such as Ethereum.
