Abstract:
Rug pulls have become a major threat to the integrity of blockchain ecosystems, with illicit activities surging and result- ing in significant financial losses. Existing approaches to prevent rug pulls focus on transaction graph analysis within blockchain networks, but these methods are limited. We propose Kosmosis, an incremental knowledge graph construction approach that integrates semantically-enriched blockchain data with social media insights into a unified knowledge graph to identify and prevent rug pulls. We demonstrate how Kosmosis can extract semantic information from blockchain transactions using the application binary interface to decode smart contract interactions and tag addresses based on their extracted relationships. We provide a technical description of the knowledge graph construction process, highlighting key components, such as address relation extraction, tagging, and entity resolution. Our research aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of blockchain ecosystems and contribute to the development of robust anti-fraud measures.
