Visualizing Blockchain Transaction Behavioural Pattern: A Graph-based Approach

Abstract

<p>This paper proposes a novel graph-based visualisation approach to incorporating automated graph modelling and generalised graph algorithms from blockchain transactions. Our approach enables users to interact directly with the blockchain data using graph queries and provides exploration capabilities through graph patterns. Four case studies are presented, demonstrating the benefits of the proposed approach in identifying the behaviour of anomalous nodes. The visual assessment of behavioural patterns informs the challenges in classifying anomalous nodes. The proposed approach also has the potential to be used in other types of networks for inferring and verifying heuristics.</p>

Unlocking Blockchain UTXO Transactional Patterns and Their Effect on Storage and Throughput Trade-Offs

“…There are several definitions of the UTXO model, such as a Directed Acyclic graph. In this article, the definition provided by Jeyakumar et al [23] is highlighted for its ability to encompass the transactional model of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Definition 1.…”
