摘要翻译:
加密货币是一种成熟的区块链技术应用,是当前全球的热点话题。交易历史的公开可用性为分析和比较不同的加密货币提供了机会。本文对三种具有代表性的基于区块链的加密货币:比特币、以太坊和Namecoin进行了动态网络分析。通过分析累积的网络增长,我们发现,与大多数其他网络不同,这些加密货币网络并不总是随着时间而变密,它们一直在变化,节点和边缘重复率相对较低。因此,我们每月构建一个独立的网络,跟踪典型网络特征(包括度分布、度匹配性、聚类系数和最大连通分量)随时间的变化,并对三者进行比较。我们发现,这些月交易网络的度分布不能用著名的幂律分布很好地拟合,同时,不同的货币仍然具有不同的网络性质,如比特币和以太坊网络都是重尾的不协调混合,但只有前者可以被视为一个小世界。这些网络特性反映了这三种加密货币的演化特征和竞争能力,为今后的研究提供了基础。

英文摘要:
Cryptocurrency is a well-developed blockchain technology application that is currently a heated topic throughout the world. The public availability of transaction histories offers an opportunity to analyze and compare different cryptocurrencies. In this paper, we present a dynamic network analysis of three representative blockchain-based cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Namecoin. By analyzing the accumulated network growth, we find that, unlike most other networks, these cryptocurrency networks do not always densify over time, and they are changing all the time with relatively low node and edge repetition ratios. Therefore, we then construct separate networks on a monthly basis, trace the changes of typical network characteristics (including degree distribution, degree assortativity, clustering coefficient, and the largest connected component) over time, and compare the three. We find that the degree distribution of these monthly transaction networks cannot be well fitted by the famous power-law distribution, at the same time, different currency still has different network properties, e.g., both Bitcoin and Ethereum networks are heavy-tailed with disassortative mixing, however, only the former can be treated as a small world. These network properties reflect the evolutionary characteristics and competitive power of these three cryptocurrencies and provide a foundation for future research.
