论文摘要
假货的生产历史悠久。它是指未经政府法律制裁而产生的模仿货币的创建。随着加密货币生态系统的增长，有广泛的证据表明伪造的加密货币也已经出现。在本文中，我们从经验上探讨了对以太坊上的假冒加密货币的存在并衡量其影响。通过分析以太坊上超过190k的ERC-20代币（或加密货币），我们已经确定了2、117个伪造的令牌，这些令牌针对100个最受欢迎的加密货币中的94个。我们对假冒代币生态系统进行端到端表征，包括其知名度，创造者和持有人，欺诈行为和广告渠道。通过此，我们已经确定了与假冒令牌和设计的技术相关的两种类型的骗局，以识别此类骗局。我们观察到，在这些骗局中欺骗了7,104名受害者，总体财务损失总额为1700万美元（74,271.7 ETH）。我们的发现表明了识别假冒加密货币并减轻这种威胁的紧迫性。
The production of counterfeit money has a long history. It refers to the creation of imitation currency that is produced without the legal sanction of government. With the growth of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, there is expanding evidence that counterfeit cryptocurrency has also appeared. In this paper, we empirically explore the presence of counterfeit cryptocurrencies on Ethereum and measure their impact. By analyzing over 190K ERC-20 tokens (or cryptocurrencies) on Ethereum, we have identified 2, 117 counterfeit tokens that target 94 of the 100 most popular cryptocurrencies. We perform an end-to-end characterization of the counterfeit token ecosystem, including their popularity, creators and holders, fraudulent behaviors and advertising channels. Through this, we have identified two types of scams related to counterfeit tokens and devised techniques to identify such scams. We observe that over 7,104 victims were deceived in these scams, and the overall financial loss sums to a minimum of $ 17 million (74,271.7 ETH). Our findings demonstrate the urgency to identify counterfeit cryptocurrencies and mitigate this threat.
