Educational context
These entries are vocabulary notes for learning. They are not project endorsements, token recommendations, exchange rankings, or trading signals.
Address Labeling
Address labeling is associating blockchain addresses with entities, services, or behaviors using disclosures, heuristics, and curated intelligence to support monitoring and investigations.
Risk Scoring
Risk scoring combines multiple signals (such as exposure paths, behavioral patterns, and counterparties) into a numeric or categorical score used to prioritize reviews and controls.
Anomaly Detection
Anomaly detection is a set of methods for identifying unusual activity patterns, such as abnormal flows or contract interactions, for monitoring and risk review.
Event Logs
Event logs are records emitted by smart contracts that make it easier to track contract activity (like swaps or transfers) without scanning all internal state changes.
Wallet Clustering
Wallet clustering is an analytics approach that groups addresses that may be controlled by the same entity using heuristics and activity patterns.
