Ethereum Phishing Detection Using Hyperbolic Neural Networks and Temporal Information

Abstract

In recent years, the frequent occurrence of phishing scams on Ethereum has posed serious threats to transaction security and the financial safety of users. This paper proposes an Ethereum phishing scam detection method based on Hyperbolic Neural Networks (HGNNs) and temporal information. The method maps the Ethereum transaction network to hyperbolic space for structural feature extraction, effectively capturing hierarchical structures and complex relationships within the graph, thereby improving the accuracy of phishing scam detection. The model includes a structural feature extraction module and a temporal feature extraction module. It uses HGNN and self-attention mechanism to extract the structural features of the transaction graph, and uses a multi-head attention mechanism to capture the dynamic evolution pattern of the graph. Experimental validation on real Ethereum datasets demonstrates that the proposed model outperforms benchmark models, showcasing its effectiveness.
