BLOCKCHAIN LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS

TXRANK, a dynamic, real-time tool for detecting anomalous blockchain transactions, generates tracing representations of activity and trains a large language model as an Intrusion Detection System. Traditional models have well-defined search spaces, rules, and patterns, but TXRANK is unrestricted in these ways, enabling it to detect a broader set of anomalies. Tested on Ethereum transactions, it effectively identified abnormal transactions in a dataset of 68 million transactions with an average throughput of 2,284 transactions per second. Contributions to the crypto ecosystem through this work include custom data encoding, domain-specific tokenization, and a tree encoding method tailored for EVM trace representation.
