Cybercrime on the Ethereum Blockchain
by Prof. Dr. Paul Momtaz
A taxonomy of cybercrime and how it impacts risk-taking.

Whale Alert continuously collects and analyzes millions of blockchain transactions in real-time and combines them with off-chain data from hundreds of sources. The result is the world's largest and most up-to-date database containing billions of transactions and hundreds of millions of addresses. Our transaction data is stored using a single format regardless of protocol, meaning that no in-depth technical knowledge of blockchains is needed to use it. Our data is used by both amateur and professional quantitative traders and researchers worldwide and is key in giving you the insight you need to be successful in an exciting new economy.

Uncover market trends by not only tracking which assets are actually being used on the blockchain, but also how popular they are.
Monitor assets cross-chain for unusual behaviour and uncover potential sell-offs, hacks or buying opportunities before they materialize.
With over 400 entities tracked and more than 100,000 scam addresses identified, our analytics system is the perfect data provider for any compliance solution.
Our mission at Whale Alert is to bring trust and transparency to the blockchain ecosystem. To achieve this we have created a one-of-a-kind blockchain tracking supercomputer that goes far beyond the capabilities of any other blockchain analytics system: a vast network of computers dedicated to collecting, analyzing, storing and distributing processed blockchain transaction data in real-time. Being future-proof and blockchain agnostic were central to our designs meaning that we can track any protocol no matter the throughput.
Stable coins represent one of the most successful innovations on blockchain to date with billions in transactions happening every day in #USDT and #USDC alone. Blockchain based stable coins offer cheaper transfers and more transparency and are set to replace much of the outdated traditional banking system in both international trade and consumer transactions. At Whale Alert we track and analyze stable coin transactions across blockchains and use this data to create the most complete and up to date live and historical data set of international monetary traffic in the world with more than 90% of stable coin transactions tracked.
Our awesome data powers one of the largest and fastest growing and most active crypto social media presences in the world and informs amateurs and professionals alike of important and interesting transactions.
