Abstract:In blockchain networks, topology discovery is a prerequisite when investigating the network characteristics (e.g., performance and robustness), which can provide a deeper comprehension of the behavior of the nodes and topology dynamicity. In this paper, we conduct a longitudinal study on the Bitcoin topology by collecting network snapshots from 2018 to 2022 with Node‐Probe, our topology discovery technique that uses recursive scanning to find all reachable nodes in the Bitcoin network. Using Node‐Probe, we hav… Show more
