Detecting Bot Activity in Crypto Blockchains

Detecting Bot Activity in Crypto Blockchains

Automated anomaly detection for investigating suspicious blockchain wallet activity

2 min read

Opportunity

The project explored how automated analysis could flag patterns associated with suspicious or bot-driven activity across blockchain networks for further investigation.

Challenge

  • Market Manipulation: Users employing fake activity to manipulate crypto market dynamics.
  • Large-Scale Analysis: The challenge of monitoring wallet activity across several blockchain networks.
  • Real-Time Detection: Need for an efficient, automated system to promptly identify suspicious behaviors.

Solution

1D.works developed a sophisticated BigQuery-based machine learning system:

  • Data-Driven Detection: Utilized reference datasets of known malicious activities to train machine learning models.
  • Daily Monitoring: Automatically scans and analyzes wallet activities across blockchain platforms, identifying anomalies and suspicious behaviors.
  • Multi-Blockchain Compatibility: Built data workflows for Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, and BNB.

Delivered Capabilities

  • Scheduled Monitoring: Automated recurring analysis of wallet activity.
  • Investigation Flags: Identified anomalous patterns for review rather than asserting malicious intent automatically.
  • Cross-Blockchain Data Workflows: Applied a common analysis approach across Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, and BNB.
  • Traceable Analysis: Produced structured outputs that could support follow-up investigation.

The system provided detection and review capabilities. Its effect on market manipulation, investor confidence, or market stability has not been claimed without supporting outcome data.
