Abstract

The task of fraud detection in blockchain requires a thorough exploration of the inherent temporal and spatial characteristics in historical transaction data. Existing fraud detection methods suffer from large prediction errors. To address this issue, this paper proposed a blockchain fraud detection method, named RGCN-SRG, based on reinforced graph convolutional network(RGCN) and spatiotemporal recurrent gate(SRG). Firstly, leveraging Bitcoin's historical transaction data for the construction of the transaction graph, the method used a reinforced graph convolutional network with different kernel sizes to comprehensively extract the graph's topology information and generate feature vectors. Additionally, considering the temporal characteristics of blockchain transactions, the method introduced a spatiotemporal recurrent gate structure that incorporated graph convolutional operations into the traditional gate structure to extract dependency information from multiple spatiotemporal dimensions of the transaction graph. Finally, it obtained the prediction results of money laundering detection through a linear layer and activation function. The proposed fraud detection method was evaluated by the constructed dataset. Compared with GCN, DEDGAT, EGT and GCN+MLP F1 by the proposed method improves 18.4, 10.7, 9.2 and 4.9 percentage points, respectively; the precision improves 11.5, 11.2, 7.7 and 3.7 percentage points, respectively.
