For example, weather the address belongs to a centralised exchange, or whether the address is used by a DeFi project. +Thought for 9 seconds + +🏦 Crypto Account Annotation - Taxonomy and Schema +🌟 Introduction +Account annotation is critical for enhancing transparency and understanding within blockchain ecosystems. This process involves assigning metadata to blockchain addresses, providing insights into the identities, purposes, and behaviors associated with them. Account annotations are valuable across a range of applications, including: + +πŸ›‘οΈ AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Management: Account annotations help identify and monitor addresses involved in high-risk or illicit activities, such as money laundering or fraud. This enhances compliance with regulatory requirements and supports law enforcement investigations. +πŸ“ˆ On-Chain Marketing and Trend Analysis: By understanding user behavior and activity patterns, companies can conduct targeted marketing and analyze trends in user engagement, token usage, and DeFi participation. Annotated data allows for in-depth insights into audience segments and market trends. +⚠️ Risk Management: Financial institutions and crypto platforms leverage account annotations to assess risks associated with specific addresses, such as identifying potentially malicious or high-risk actors. This supports a proactive approach to security and compliance. +🌐 Reputation and Identity Systems: Account annotations contribute to building reputation scores and trust networks by marking addresses with a history of positive or negative actions. +The taxonomy and schema provided here are designed to standardize data across these use cases, facilitating reliable, reusable account data across the industry. + +Alternative Names: Account annotation is also known as address labeling, entity classification, and wallet tagging within blockchain communities. Each term refers to the practice of categorizing blockchain addresses with meaningful metadata. + +🀝 Call for Contributions +Codatta invites collaboration and contributions from research institutions, industry experts, and community members. If your organization or team is interested in enhancing these standards or proposing new use cases, please reach out. We welcome joint efforts to expand the taxonomy and address evolving industry needs. + +For inquiries, contributions, or to propose a collaboration, please contact us at dev-opensource@codatta.io. + +πŸ“‘ Source +The Source value provides information about how the given data entry was collected. We define five source values in the data model: + +🌍 Ground Truth: This method relies on conducting real-life transactions on-chain to identify blockchain addresses belonging to a specific entity. For example, depositing a small amount of ETH to identify addresses owned by a particular exchange. +πŸ” Heuristic: Clusters addresses using models based on publicly available information, such as transaction patterns. Examples include the Commonspend heuristic for UTXO chains. +πŸ€– Machine Learning: Utilizes machine learning algorithms with on/off-chain data to create address clustering models. +πŸ“š Research: Relies on thorough research over publicly available information, especially useful during significant events in the space. +πŸ“₯ External: Gathers metadata from other open sources, like Etherscan. +🌐 Chain +The Chain indicates the blockchain or network where the address resides. The protocol has a fixed list of values defined in the data model, with flexibility to add new chains to accommodate metadata from emerging networks. + +🏒 Entity +The Entity represents the owner of a given address, often at an organizational level. For instance, various Uniswap addresses for different purposes share the same entity name, "Uniswap." New entity values can be added as required by emerging networks. + +πŸ—‚ Category +The Category value provides detailed information about the purpose or sector of the address. The updated taxonomy is hierarchical, allowing for more precise classification and reducing overlap between categories.
