Abstract: The pseudo-anonymity is one of the main premises of public blockchain platforms. With growing popularity of blockchain technologies, the involved financial stakes are high. The attacks on these platforms are mounting. The majority of them are profit driven and leverage the fact that the identity of an adversary is hidden behind the account address. In this context, the ultimate question that arises is whether a de-anonymization of accounts addresses in blockchain is possible.
