An interpretable ensemble model framework for real-time anomaly detection and prediction of Ethereum blockchain transactions

Abstract

Blockchain is a growing technology nowadays. This technology is often associated with the terms "distributed" and "decentralized" technology that does not require a central authority (CA) to control certain processes Therefore, the acceptance of this technology is increasing with the introduction of some of the latest applications in the world of decentralized financial (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFT), and metaverse. Previously, blockchain technology was widely adopted in several popular domains, such as digital government [2], health [3], business management [4], and smart cities The understanding of blockchain is linked to several main functions: public key, private key, hash value, and peer-to-peer (P2P) network.
