Smart contract classification holds significant application value in the field of blockchain. However, existing methods suffer from inefficiencies and high computational complexity when dealing with smart contract data. To address these issues, this paper proposes a cluster-BERT model based on neural clustering techniques. The model reduces the computational burden of self-attention mechanisms by clustering attention heads, thereby improving training efficiency. The cluster-BERT model comprises multiple modules. Module 1 preprocesses smart contract data, converting abstract syntax trees and graph structure features into text representations suitable for BERT models. Module 2 serves as the core of the model, introducing neural clustering methods to reduce computational complexity. Module 3 further optimizes the model by finding the optimal number of centroids, achieving a balance between training efficiency and classification accuracy. Experimental results show that our proposed cluster-BERT achieves an accuracy of 91.42%, a recall of 91.44%, and an F1 score of 91.43%, which indicates a noticeable improvement over the baseline model. Our model reduces computational complexity from quadratic to linear, resulting in an average reduction of 8.48% in training time and 7.88% in prediction time compared to the baseline model. On the smart contract dataset, the accuracy and precision of our model outperformed other models proposed in recent years by 1–2 percentage points on average.
智能合约分类在区块链领域具有重要的应用价值。然而,现有方法在处理智能合约数据时存在效率低下和计算复杂性高的问题。为了解决这些问题,本文提出了一种基于神经聚类技术的聚类- bert模型。该模型通过对注意头进行聚类,减少了自注意机制的计算负担,从而提高了训练效率。cluster-BERT模型由多个模块组成。模块1对智能合约数据进行预处理,将抽象语法树和图形结构特征转换为适合BERT模型的文本表示。模块2作为模型的核心,引入神经聚类方法降低计算复杂度。模块3进一步优化模型,找到最优的质心个数,达到训练效率和分类精度之间的平衡。实验结果表明,本文提出的聚类bert的准确率为91.42%,召回率为91.44%,F1分数为91.43%,与基线模型相比有了明显的提高。我们的模型将计算复杂度从二次型降低到线性,与基线模型相比,训练时间平均减少8.48%,预测时间平均减少7.88%。在智能合约数据集上,我们的模型的准确度和精密度比近年来提出的其他模型平均高出1-2个百分点。

Faced with multiple societal challenges, the healthcare sector has been compelled to leverage recent and emerging technologies to adapt. Blockchain is one of the leading technologies, offering transparency, process automation, immutability of traces and the ability to scale up in terms of both the volume of processes and the number of players interacting. The goal of the paper is to show the potential of blockchain technology—alone or merged with other technologies—to help the healthcare system evolve and provide scalable, efficient, and secure solutions to four healthcare applications: electronic health record (EHR) storage, health data sharing, remote patient monitoring, and pharmaceutical supply chains. After identifying the functional and security requirements of healthcare systems, the paper conducts an in-depth review of the literature. The survey assesses the effectiveness of blockchain-based solutions in meeting functional, privacy, and security needs. It is completed by an analysis of the synergies that can be expected between blockchain and emerging technologies, e.g., artificial intelligence, federated learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and large language models (LLMs), to the benefit of security or privacy in healthcare.

Smart contracts are Turing-complete programs that run on blockchain technology, are capable of managing on-chain assets according to predefined logic, and become immutable once deployed on the blockchain. In recent years, the value of smart contracts on blockchains, notably Ethereum, has been on the rise. However, the hiding vulnerabilities make the substantial value of smart contracts a target of many hackers, leading to numerous attack incidents. Therefore, vulnerability detection in smart contracts before deployment is essential. Currently, many fuzzers for detecting smart contract vulnerabilities can identify vulnerabilities only based on the execution patterns of the underlying opcodes, overlooking the financial semantic properties of the contracts, which leads to many vulnerabilities being difficult to detect or resulting in a high rate of false positives. To this end, we focus on the financial characteristics of contracts, define contract vulnerability patterns starting from the high-level semantic properties of contracts, and combine fuzzers using evolutionary algorithms and symbolic constraint solving to detect vulnerabilities, culminating in the development of FinanceFuzz. Specifically, FinanceFuzz defines invariant and equivalence properties of finance that contracts should satisfy. Using these properties, FinanceFuzz can generate transaction sequences for testing and identify vulnerable contracts that violate the properties. We conduct experiments on a dataset containing 437 smart contracts from the real world, and the experimental results demonstrate that our tool outperforms other state-of-the-art tools in detecting vulnerabilities, achieving a higher recall rate without false positives.
智能合约是运行在区块链技术上的图灵完备程序,能够根据预定义的逻辑管理链上资产,并且一旦部署在区块链上就变得不可变。近年来,区块链上智能合约的价值一直在上升,尤其是以太坊。然而,隐藏的漏洞使智能合约的巨大价值成为许多黑客的目标,导致了许多攻击事件。因此,在部署智能合约之前进行漏洞检测是至关重要的。目前,许多检测智能合约漏洞的fuzzers只能根据底层操作码的执行模式来识别漏洞,而忽略了合约的金融语义属性,这导致许多漏洞难以检测或导致误报率很高。为此,我们专注于合约的金融特征,从合约的高级语义属性开始定义合约漏洞模式,并使用进化算法和符号约束求解结合fuzzers来检测漏洞,最终开发了FinanceFuzz。具体来说,FinanceFuzz定义了契约应该满足的金融的不变和等价属性。使用这些属性,FinanceFuzz可以生成用于测试的事务序列,并识别违反属性的易受攻击的合同。我们在包含来自现实世界的437个智能合约的数据集上进行了实验,实验结果表明,我们的工具在检测漏洞方面优于其他最先进的工具,在没有误报的情况下实现了更高的召回率。

As cloud computing gains widespread adoption, cloud storage services have become the primary means of data management for users. Authenticated data structures (ADS) are a novel computational model designed to address data authentication problems in distributed environments. With the growing demand for robust data security, vulnerability detection in storage systems has become a critical area of focus to ensure resilience against potential threats. However, traditional ADS, while ensuring consistency between cloud data and source data, have limitations in handling dynamic data operations on multiple types of files, storage space expansion, and single-point failure issues. To tackle these issues, this paper proposes a blockchain-assisted classifiable data auditing scheme with dynamic operations. First, trapdoor hash functions are used to construct a binary tree. During dynamic data operations, the impact of hash updates is confined to a subset of nodes, ensuring global stability and reducing computational resource consumption. Second, innovative data structures and verification mechanisms are introduced, reducing the risk of single-point failures by decentralizing the dependency on verification paths. Finally, data types are confirmed based on data identifiers, and corresponding path information is recorded, enabling efficient and rapid dynamic operations on specific types of files within multi-source data. Both security analysis and performance assessment demonstrate that BCDAS conducts data auditing with reliability and efficiency.
随着云计算的广泛采用,云存储服务已经成为用户数据管理的主要手段。身份验证数据结构(ADS)是一种新的计算模型,旨在解决分布式环境中的数据身份验证问题。随着对数据安全性的需求日益增长,存储系统的漏洞检测已成为一个关键领域,以确保对潜在威胁的弹性。传统的ADS在保证云数据与源数据一致性的同时,在处理多类型文件的动态数据操作、存储空间扩展、单点故障等方面存在局限性。为了解决这些问题,本文提出了一种区块链辅助的动态操作分类数据审计方案。首先,利用trapdoor散列函数构造二叉树。在动态数据操作期间,哈希更新的影响被限制在节点的子集内,从而确保全局稳定性并减少计算资源消耗。其次,引入了创新的数据结构和验证机制,通过分散对验证路径的依赖来降低单点故障的风险。最后,根据数据标识符确定数据类型,并记录相应的路径信息,实现对多源数据中特定类型文件的高效快速动态操作。安全性分析和性能评估均表明BCDAS的数据审计工作可靠、高效。

The scope of this work focuses on the digital assets of citizens and their personal and private inheritance. The aim is to protect such digital assets after your death, for example, personal email accounts, not those within the corporate domain, which are neither inheritable nor owned by the employee. It is based on blockchain technology due to the intrinsic need to govern hereditary information. These needs include a public and secure record of transactions that cannot be altered, confidence in the integrity of stored data, decentralization of information, the immutability of records, efficiency, and speed. These features empower users with greater control over their data and transactions. Users, as beneficiaries of their digital assets, will be able to establish specific, planned, and transparent conditions for their digital assets after death safely and transparently, ensuring that the records of these transactions are secure and auditable. By adopting these solutions and planning their digital estate in advance, users can ensure that it is managed securely and effectively for future generations.
这项工作的范围侧重于公民的数字资产及其个人和私人遗产。这样做的目的是在你死后保护这些数字资产,比如个人电子邮件账户,而不是那些属于公司领域的账户,这些账户既不能继承,也不属于员工所有。它是基于区块链技术,因为内在需要控制遗传信息。这些需求包括不可更改的公共和安全的交易记录、对存储数据完整性的信心、信息的分散、记录的不可变性、效率和速度。这些功能使用户能够更好地控制他们的数据和事务。用户作为其数字资产的受益人,将能够安全透明地为其死后的数字资产建立具体、有计划和透明的条件,确保这些交易记录的安全性和可审计性。通过采用这些解决方案并提前规划他们的数字资产,用户可以确保为子孙后代安全有效地管理数字资产。

An empirical study on deployment in cross-chain decentralised autonomous organisations 跨链分散自治组织部署的实证研究

Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) are self-governing democratic entities that operate and provide services via smart contracts on behalf of their users. Certain DAOs, particularly Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs), have recently expanded their market reach through cross-chain deployment and integration, giving rise to Cross-chain DAOs (XDAOs). These XDAOs face unique governance, deployment, and operations challenges, introducing added complexity and risks compared to traditional single-chain DAOs. While existing research has focused primarily on single-chain DAOs, we observe a shift in practice with DAOs to favour cross-chain deployments. The three largest protocols, Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap, which together represent over half of the total value locked in DEXs, have been deployed across 22, 17, and 9 chains, respectively. This creates a research gap that our study addresses. In this study, we review 48 cross-chain deployments and numerous XDAO interactions, using data primarily from their respective discussion forums. Through thematic and root cause analysis, we identify eight requirements, deviations between DEXs, seven lessons learned for cross-chain deployment, and a framework to generalise the governance and deployment processes in XDAOs. As a result, we provide an improved classification of XDAO governance, highlighting limitations and future directions for cross-chain expansion.
去中心化自治组织(dao)是自治的民主实体,代表其用户通过智能合约运营和提供服务。某些dao,特别是去中心化交易所(DEXs),最近通过跨链部署和集成扩大了其市场范围,从而产生了跨链dao (xdao)。这些xdao面临着独特的治理、部署和操作挑战,与传统的单链dao相比,引入了额外的复杂性和风险。虽然现有的研究主要集中在单链dao上,但我们观察到dao在实践中的转变有利于跨链部署。三大协议Uniswap、Curve和PancakeSwap,分别部署在22条、17条和9条链上,占DEXs锁定总价值的一半以上。这就造成了我们的研究要解决的研究空白。在本研究中,我们回顾了48个跨链部署和大量XDAO交互,主要使用了来自各自论坛的数据。通过主题和根本原因分析,我们确定了八个需求、DEXs之间的偏差、跨链部署的七个经验教训,以及一个概括xdao中治理和部署流程的框架。因此,我们提供了一种改进的XDAO治理分类,强调了跨链扩展的局限性和未来方向。

Economic DAO governance: A contestable control approach 经济DAO治理:一种可争议的控制方法

In this article, we propose a new form of decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance that uses a sequential auction mechanism to overcome the entrenched control issues that have emerged for DAOs by creating a regime of temporary contestable control. The mechanism avoids potential public choice problems inherent in voting approaches but at the same time provides a vehicle that can enhance and secure value that inheres to DAO voting and other DAO non-market governance procedures. It is robust to empty voting and is code feasible. The mechanism not only facilitates the ability of DAOs to meet their normative and operational goals in the face of diverse regulatory approaches, but also strengthens the case for creating a less burdensome but at least equally effective regulatory regime for DAOs that employ the mechanism. Designed to shift control to the party with the most promising business plan, at the same time, it deters value destruction by control parties, maximizes social surplus, and distributes that surplus in a way that tends to promote investment by other parties both at start up and on an ongoing basis.
在本文中,我们提出了一种新的去中心化自治组织(DAO)治理形式,它使用顺序拍卖机制,通过创建临时可争议控制机制来克服DAO出现的根深蒂固的控制问题。该机制避免了投票方式固有的潜在公共选择问题,同时提供了一种工具,可以增强和保护DAO投票和其他DAO非市场治理程序固有的价值。它对空投票具有鲁棒性,并且代码可行。该机制不仅促进了dao在面对各种监管方法时实现其规范和运营目标的能力,而且还加强了为采用该机制的dao创建一个负担较少但至少同样有效的监管制度的理由。它旨在将控制权转移给最有希望的商业计划的一方,同时,它阻止了控制权方的价值破坏,最大化了社会剩余,并以一种倾向于促进其他各方在启动和持续基础上投资的方式分配剩余。

Cryptocurrency has transformed finance and investment, with platforms like Uniswap facilitating billions of dollars in trades. However, malicious smart contracts and scam tokens have led to significant financial losses for decentralized finance (DeFi) users. Code analysis alone cannot detect rug pulls using social engineering tactics. To address this issue, machine learning algorithms can leverage the vast amount of transactional data stored on the blockchain, particularly time series data, to identify scam tokens. This study aims to determine the optimal timeframe for detecting rug pulls and highlights the importance of token volume and transaction count features. The findings suggest that shorter timeframes are sufficient for detecting rug pull tokens since most incidents occur soon after token creation. This research offers new insights into scam token classification and prevention and contributes to a broader understanding of this field.
加密货币已经改变了金融和投资,像Uniswap这样的平台促成了数十亿美元的交易。然而,恶意智能合约和诈骗代币给去中心化金融(DeFi)用户带来了重大的经济损失。仅靠代码分析无法发现使用社会工程策略的作弊行为。为了解决这个问题,机器学习算法可以利用存储在区块链上的大量事务数据,特别是时间序列数据,来识别诈骗令牌。本研究旨在确定检测rug pull的最佳时间框架,并强调令牌数量和交易计数特征的重要性。研究结果表明,较短的时间范围足以检测rug pull令牌,因为大多数事件发生在令牌创建后不久。这项研究为诈骗令牌分类和预防提供了新的见解,并有助于更广泛地了解这一领域。

Privacy-preserving and automated intellectual property license agreements over heterogeneous blockchain networks 异构区块链网络上的隐私保护和自动知识产权许可协议

This paper considers the application scenario of Intellectual Property (IP) management, a business process yet to fully embrace digitisation and the advantages it brings. We propose to leverage Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) to digitise license agreements management by providing automated and trustworthy royalty computation, transaction execution, and payment distribution. This can be achieved by employing smart licenses, i.e., bundles of smart contracts implementing the royalty logic of license agreements. To provide scalability, flexibility, and resilience, we propose to deploy smart licenses on a network of networks model, i.e., a set of heterogeneous networks potentially running different DLT protocols and connected by cross-chain information exchange protocols. A novel advantage of the network of networks approach is that it allows for the use of private values for royalty computation, which is impossible in the traditional model. Of course, supporting private DLT networks requires privacy-preserving cross-chain schemes, a still open problem in the literature. This is why we present two alternative privacy-preserving cross-chain schemes for our considered application scenario of license agreements management, one based on Homomorphic Encryption (HE) and the other on Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs. Besides discussing their theoretical advantages and drawbacks, we present an experimental evaluation of a prototype implementation of smart licenses based on both schemes.
本文考虑了知识产权(IP)管理的应用场景,这是一个尚未完全拥抱数字化的业务流程及其带来的优势。我们建议利用分布式账本技术(DLT),通过提供自动化和可信的版税计算、交易执行和支付分发,将许可协议管理数字化。这可以通过使用智能许可来实现,即,实现许可协议的版税逻辑的智能合约束。为了提供可扩展性、灵活性和弹性,我们建议在网络模型的网络上部署智能许可,即一组可能运行不同DLT协议并通过跨链信息交换协议连接的异构网络。网络的网络方法的一个新优点是它允许使用私有值进行版税计算,这在传统模型中是不可能的。当然,支持私有DLT网络需要保护隐私的跨链方案,这在文献中仍然是一个开放的问题。这就是为什么我们为许可协议管理的应用场景提出了两种可选的保护隐私的跨链方案,一种基于同态加密(HE),另一种基于零知识(ZK)证明。除了讨论它们的理论优缺点外,我们还对基于这两种方案的智能许可原型实现进行了实验评估。

The rapid expansion of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications has catalyzed the emergence of new blockchain systems at an unprecedented pace. However, these systems are largely evolving in isolation, hindering the development of a cohesive ecosystem where value and data can flow seamlessly across networks. Blockchain interoperability technologies are introduced to break down these communication barriers and facilitate effective interactions between different blockchain systems. In recent years, numerous approaches and solutions to blockchain interoperability have been proposed. While some reviews have attempted to categorize cross-chain solutions based on blockchain standards and architectures, a more in-depth analysis is warranted. In this work, we investigate mainstream cross-chain solutions from the perspective of their principles, applications, protocols, and performance. To clarify the concept of blockchain interoperability, we propose a conceptual model that characterizes both asset interoperability and data interoperability. Furthermore, we introduce a hierarchical architecture to categorize and analyze representative cross-chain solutions, covering both academic research and industrial implementations. To maximize the utility of this review for a wide audience, we also highlight open challenges and identify future directions in the field of blockchain interoperability, expecting to provide a comprehensive overview of cross-chain solutions.
去中心化金融(DeFi)应用的迅速扩张,催化了新的区块链系统以前所未有的速度出现。然而,这些系统在很大程度上是孤立发展的,阻碍了价值和数据可以在网络上无缝流动的凝聚力生态系统的发展。区块链互操作性技术的引入打破了这些通信障碍,促进了不同区块链系统之间的有效交互。近年来,已经提出了许多实现区块链互操作性的方法和解决方案。虽然一些评论试图根据区块链标准和体系结构对跨链解决方案进行分类,但有必要进行更深入的分析。在这项工作中,我们从其原理、应用、协议和性能的角度研究了主流的跨链解决方案。为了阐明区块链互操作性的概念,我们提出了一个概念模型,该模型同时描述了资产互操作性和数据互操作性。此外,我们引入了一个层次结构来分类和分析具有代表性的跨链解决方案,涵盖了学术研究和工业实现。为了最大限度地为广大受众提供本综述的效用,我们还强调了区块链互操作性领域的开放挑战并确定了未来的方向,期望提供跨链解决方案的全面概述。
