Data

I have previously spend time doing Network Analytics on Farcaster, and while great, I wanted to devote some energy into doing this on mainnet chains. Below is an image of a graph community from a very large Ethereum network. You can see it's just chains of payments as if people are moving funds back and forth between a group of accounts, but doing it in long chains.

I would go pretty far in saying this is completely botted.

I'm starting to hit the point where if I had a few billion dollars lying around, I would start an activist short fund where we basically look at the data and write journalist articles about how many of these protocols have obviously fake user interactions, and short the market on those tokens.

Who wants to be the Micheal Burry of crypto? Can that guy send me a message ASAP?

cool visualization, does this exclude smart contract accounts?

wonder if these patterns could be related to some defi protocol or programmatic strategy
