Abstract
We analyze the token transfer network on Ethereum, focusing on accounts
associated with Alameda Research, a cryptocurrency trading firm implicated in
the misuse of FTX customer funds. Using a multi-token network representation,
we examine node centralities and the network backbone to identify critical
accounts, tokens, and activity groups. The temporal evolution of Alameda
accounts reveals shifts in token accumulation and distribution patterns leading
up to its bankruptcy in November 2022. Through network analysis, our work
offers insights into the activities and dynamics that shape the DeFi ecosystem.
