论文摘要
加密货币（例如比特币和以太坊）越来越普遍，主要是由于其匿名性，分散，透明度和安全性。但是，只要揭示了公共地址背后的身份，完全公共分类账使每个帐户的跟踪和分析成为可能。从理论上讲，当使用包含个人信息的帐户在社交网络平台上发布地址时，社交网络可以实现这一目标。为了验证这种可能性，我们从两个主要平台（即Twitter和Reddit）收集了公共数据，旨在在ETH公共地址背后找到潜在的隐私泄漏。最后，还构建了一个易于使用的检索应用程序，以更好地说明。
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are becoming increasingly prevalent mainly due to their anonymity, decentralization, transparency, and security. However, the completely public ledger makes the trace and analysis of each account possible as long as the identity behind the public address is revealed. Theoretically, social networks could make that happen when addresses are posted on social network platforms using accounts containing personal information. To verify such a possibility, we have collected public data from two major platforms, i.e. Twitter and Reddit, aiming to find potential privacy leakage behind the ETH public address. In the end, an easy-to-use retrieval application is also built for a better illustration.
