Enhancing Meme Token Market Transparency: A Multi-Dimensional Entity-Linked Address Analysis for Liquidity Risk Evaluation

Meme tokens represent a distinctive asset class within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, characterized by high community engagement, significant market volatility, and heightened vulnerability to market manipulation. This paper introduces an innovative approach to assessing liquidity risk in meme token markets using entity-linked address identification techniques. We propose a multi-dimensional method integrating fund flow analysis, behavioral similarity, and anomalous transaction detection to identify related addresses. We develop a comprehensive set of liquidity risk indicators tailored for meme tokens, covering token distribution, trading activity, and liquidity metrics. Empirical analysis of tokens like BabyBonk, NMT, and BonkFork validates our approach, revealing significant disparities between apparent and actual liquidity in meme token markets. The findings of this study provide significant empirical evidence for market participants and regulatory authorities, laying a theoretical foundation for building a more transparent and robust meme token ecosystem.

Detecting Sybil Addresses in Blockchain Airdrops: A Subgraph-based Feature Propagation and Fusion Approach

Sybil attacks pose a significant security threat to blockchain ecosystems, particularly in token airdrop events. This paper proposes a novel sybil address identification method based on subgraph feature extraction lightGBM. The method first constructs a two-layer deep transaction subgraph for each address, then extracts key event operation features according to the lifecycle of sybil addresses, including the time of first transaction, first gas acquisition, participation in airdrop activities, and last transaction. These temporal features effectively capture the consistency of sybil address behavior operations. Additionally, the method extracts amount and network structure features, comprehensively describing address behavior patterns and network topology through feature propagation and fusion. Experiments conducted on a dataset containing 193,701 addresses (including 23,240 sybil addresses) show that this method outperforms existing approaches in terms of precision, recall, F1 score, and AUC, with all metrics exceeding 0.9. The methods and results of this study can be further applied to broader blockchain security areas such as transaction manipulation identification and token liquidity risk assessment, contributing to the construction of a more secure and fair blockchain ecosystem.
