TLDR
The architecture of most blockchains in the market relies on anonymity of pseudonymity as a mechanism to protect the privacy of its nodes and enable decentralization. The more anonymous a blockchain dataset is, the more difficult to extract meaningful intelligence from it. Identities provide context and context is a key building block of interpretability. The challenge of deanonymizing blockchains is more related to identifying key labels or attributes of a blockchain address rather than understanding specific identities. We can settle for identifying and understanding the behavior of known actors like exchanges, OTC desks, miners and other parties.via the TL;DR App
