Ethereum-BSC-token-dataset

This repository contains the Token Dataset and Liquidity Pools Dataset used in the paper:

Token Spammers, Rug Pulls, and Sniper Bots: An Analysis of the Ecosystem of Tokens in Ethereum and in the Binance Smart Chain (BNB)

Moreover, it contains TokenScout a script to check whether an address is an ERC-20 (or BEP-20) compliant token and extract its information.

The full dataset contains all the ERC-20 (BEP-20) tokens and liquidity pools created on Ethereum (resp. BSC) from their inception to 2022-03-07. See the paper for a more detailed description of the dataset generation process.

The Datasets

The dataset is divided into four compressed files contained in the dataset folder. To extract the files, run the following command:

7z x "*_dataset_*.7z"

The files contain the same columns for Ethereum and BSC.

The Token Dataset (token_dataset.csv)

Each row of this file contains:

• address: The address of the token
• symbol: The symbol of the token
• decimals: The decimals
• total_supply: The total supply of the token
• tx_hash: The transaction hash of the transaction where the token was created
• from_tx: The address that sent the creation transaction
• creator: The address of the smart contract used to create the token, if it was created using a smart contract
• gas_price: The gas price of the creation transaction
• gas_used: The gas used by the creation transaction
• block_number: The number of the block containing the token creation transaction

The Liquidity Pool Dataset (lp_dataset.csv)

Each row of this file contains:

• liquidity_token: The address of the liquidity pool
• address: The address of smart contract that created the liquidity pool
• tx_hash: The transaction hash of the transaction where the liquidity pool was created
• from_tx: The address that sent the creation transaction
• token0: The address of one of the two tokens contained in the liquidity pool
• token1: The address of the other token contained in the liquidity pool
• gas_price: The gas price of the creation transaction
• gas_used: The gas used by the creation transaction
• block_number: The number of the block containing the liquidity pool creation transaction

TokenScout

Clone this repository and run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

To check if a token is ERC-20/BEP-20 compliant, run the token_scout.py script:

python3 token_scout.py -a address -b blockchain 

• -a: This argument indicates the address to check

• -b: This argument indicates the blockchain to consider

TokenScout indicates all the ERC-20/BEP-20 functions and events implemented by the address. Then, if it is ERC-20/BEP-20 compliant, it also provides the name, symbol, total supply, and decimal.

Two usage examples:

python3 token_scout.py -b bsc -a 0x2170Ed0880ac9A755fd29B2688956BD959F933F8

python3 token_scout.py -b ethereum -a 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7
