Elliptic++ Dataset: A Graph Network of Bitcoin Blockchain Transactions and Wallet Addresses

The Elliptic++ dataset consists of 203k Bitcoin transactions and 822k wallet addresses to enable both the detection of fraudulent transactions and the detection of illicit addresses (actors) in the Bitcoin network by leveraging graph data.

Dataset Tutorials

We are sharing tutorial notebooks for users and researchers to explore, study, and learn from. The tutorial notebooks are available for both datasets and cover dataset statistics, graph visualization, model training and classification, case analysis, and feature refinement.

Transactions dataset statistics : overall transactions data statistics.

Actors dataset statistics : overall actors data statistics.

Transactions graph visualization : visualizations of the Money Flow Transaction graph (tx-tx graph).

Actors graph visualization (Actor Interaction) : visualizations of the Actor Interaction graph (addr-addr graph).

Actors graph visualization (Address-Transaction) : visualizations of the Address-Transaction graph (addr-tx-addr graph).

Transactions classification : model training and classification on the transactions data.

Actors classification : model training and classification on the actors data.

Transactions case analysis : unique case (EASY, HARD, AVERAGE) analysis using the transactions data.

Transactions feature analysis : feature importance analysis of the transactions data.

Actors feature analysis : feature importance analysis of the actors data.
