Recurring counterparties
The few personal wallets that make up most of this wallet’s transfers. Exchanges, contracts such as routers and tokens, and service wallets are left out: everyone uses those.
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”The people and wallets you deal with again and again form a circle that is hard to fake: a friend you pay, a wallet that pays you every month, your own second wallet. A known member of that circle says something about you, and two wallets with the same unusual circle look alike.
| Rule | Fires when | Severity | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
top | At least 10 transfers with personal wallets (exchanges, contracts and services left out), the top 3 of those wallets account for 40% or more of them, and the top one has at least 4. | medium from 60%, else low | 0.5 + transfers / 100, at most 0.9 |
The rule counts transfers, not their value. A counterparty is a personal wallet unless it is an exchange, a contract, a known service wallet, tagged publicly by the explorer, or a wallet that sent 2,000 or more transactions on that chain: a service is never a link.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”- Paying the same friend, employer or shop again and again looks the same as moving funds between your own wallets. This finding does not say which one it is.
- A counterparty that only shows up on chains the scan did not read, or before the newest 1,000 transactions of a chain, is not counted.
How to reduce it
Section titled “How to reduce it”- Keep repeated dealings with one person or service on a wallet you are fine having linked to them.
- Do not spread one relationship over wallets you want to keep apart.
