# StellarChainAnalysis – Customizable Graph-Powered Threat Intelligence Platform for Stellar Blockchain
2+
3+
![Stellar Logo](./static/Stellar-1.png)
4+
5+
**StellarChainAnalysis** is a **highly customizable, modular, and user-configurable** blockchain analytics and threat intelligence platform for the **Stellar Network**. It ingests raw on-chain data, builds a **dynamic, queryable graph model**, and empowers users to **interact with, extend, and personalize the resulting graph** based on their specific use case — whether security, compliance, research, or business intelligence.
6+
7+
Unlike rigid tools, StellarChainAnalysis is designed as a **flexible infrastructure**:
8+
- Users can **define custom node types, relationships, and properties**
9+
- **Create personalized risk models** using configurable rules and ML pipelines
10+
- **Interact directly with the graph** via APIs, visual queries, or embedded dashboards
11+
- **Export, extend, or integrate** the graph into external systems (BI tools, SIEM, notebooks)
12+
13+
Built for **security teams, auditors, researchers, and enterprises**, it supports **mass customization** — enabling each deployment to evolve into a **tailored on-chain intelligence engine**.
14+
15+
16+
## Project Vision
17+
18+
To create a **trusted, scalable, and extensible security operations platform** that empowers the Stellar ecosystem with proactive threat intelligence, forensic capabilities, and transparent risk assessment.
19+
20+
## Core Objectives
21+
22+
- **Enable users to define and detect** any custom transaction pattern in real time using **configurable rules, Cypher queries, or ML models**
23+
- **Allow full control over graph enrichment** — users can **add custom node types, properties, relationships, and enrichment pipelines** to model domain-specific logic
24+
- **Support dynamic, user-defined risk scoring** — combine built-in heuristics with **custom formulas, external signals, or trained models**
25+
- **Provide deep, interactive graph exploration** — users can **query, filter, traverse, and manipulate the live graph** through visual tools or direct API access
26+
- **Deliver fully configurable alerting** — route alerts based on **user-defined thresholds, channels, and enrichment context** (Slack, email, SIEM, webhooks)
27+
- **Empower advanced forensic workflows** — with **custom graph snapshots, time-travel queries, export formats, and integration hooks** for Jupyter, BI tools, or internal platforms

## Data Model – Graph-First Design
96+
97+
StellarChainAnalysis treats the blockchain as a **living, user-extensible graph** — not a fixed schema. While it starts with a minimal core model for Stellar transactions, **every aspect of the graph is designed for mass customization and direct user interaction**.
98+
99+
### Core Model (Starting Point)
100+
- **Accounts** – Public keys with balance and activity metadata
101+
- **Transactions** – Ledger operations with fee, sequence, and result
102+
- **Assets** – XLM or custom tokens involved in payments
103+
104+
### User-Defined Extensions
105+
Users can **freely extend** the graph at runtime:
106+
- Add **custom node types** (e.g., `SuspiciousCluster`, `ComplianceTag`, `UserProfile`)
107+
- Define **new relationship types** (e.g., `FLAGGED_BY`, `LINKED_VIA_MEMO`, `PART_OF_CAMPAIGN`)
108+
- Attach **arbitrary properties** (e.g., `kyc_status`, `risk_source`, `user_notes`)
109+
- Create **virtual nodes/edges** via Cypher projections for analysis
110+
111+
### Live Graph Interaction
112+
Through the **Graph Studio** and **Query Console**, users can:
113+
- **Traverse** the graph with custom Cypher queries
114+
- **Merge, split, or relabel** nodes in real time
115+
- **Create persistent views** (e.g., "All accounts linked to address X in last 7 days")
116+
- **Export subgraphs** in JSON, CSV, or GEXF for external tools
117+
118+
> The graph is **not just storage** — it's a **collaborative workspace** where analysts, compliance officers, and data scientists build and refine intelligence together.
119+
120+
## Threat Detection Capabilities
121+
122+
StellarChainAnalysis identifies a wide range of malicious or suspicious behaviors:
123+
124+
| Threat Type | Detection Method |
125+
|-----------|------------------|
126+
| **Money Laundering** | Cycle detection in payment paths |
127+
| **Pump & Dump** | Sudden volume surges + rapid sell-off |
128+
| **Wash Trading** | Self-referential transaction loops |
129+
| **Account Takeover** | Anomalous login or signing patterns |
130+
| **Phishing Drains** | Outbound flows to known malicious sinks |
131+
| **Memo Abuse** | Encoded commands or C2 communication |
132+
133+
Each detection contributes to a **dynamic risk score** (0–100) updated in real time.
134+
135+
## Real-Time Dashboard
136+
137+
The web-based dashboard delivers an **intuitive, analyst-friendly interface** with:
138+
139+
- **Live Activity Feed** – Chronological view of incoming transactions
140+
- **Risk Leaderboard** – Top 50 highest-risk accounts with trend indicators
141+
- **Interactive Network Graph** – Explore transaction flows with zoom, search, and filtering
142+
- **Heatmap View** – Geographic or cluster-based risk density
143+
- **Alert Timeline** – Visual log of triggered notifications
144+
145+
All visualizations update instantly via **WebSocket push technology**.
146+
147+
## Machine Learning Integration
148+
149+
StellarChainAnalysis combines **unsupervised and graph-aware ML models**:
150+
151+
### Anomaly Detection
152+
- **Isolation Forest** on transaction velocity, volume, and counterparty diversity
153+
- **Autoencoders** for learning normal behavioral embeddings
154+
155+
### Graph Neural Networks
156+
- Trained on historical subgraphs to predict node-level risk
157+
- Leverages structural patterns invisible to traditional models
158+
159+
Models are retrained periodically using labeled datasets and feedback loops.
160+
161+
## API & Integration
162+
163+
The platform exposes a **versioned REST API** for integration with external tools:
164+
165+
### Example Endpoints
166+
- `GET /api/v1/accounts/{address}` → Full profile, risk score, and recent activity
167+
- `GET /api/v1/transactions/{hash}` → Transaction details + local graph context
168+
- `GET /api/v1/alerts?since=24h` → Recent high-risk events
169+
- `GET /api/v1/export/graph?center={address}&depth=2` → Export ego-network in JSON
170+
171+
All responses follow **OpenAPI 3.0** specification.
172+
173+
## Deployment & Operations
174+
175+
StellarChainAnalysis is fully **containerized** and designed for both development and production:
176+
177+
### Local Development
178+
- Uses **Docker Compose** to spin up Neo4j, Redis, and the application
179+
- Pre-configured datasets for rapid prototyping
180+
181+
### Production Readiness
182+
- Structured logging (JSON format)
183+
- Health checks and metrics endpoints
184+
- Rate limiting and API key authentication
185+
- Secure configuration via environment variables
186+
- CI/CD pipeline with automated testing
187+
188+
Future versions will support **Kubernetes** and **cloud-native observability**.
189+
190+
191+
## Getting Started
192+
193+
### Prerequisites
194+
- Docker & Docker Compose
195+
- Python 3.11+
196+
- Internet access to `horizon.stellar.org`
197+
198+
### Quick Start
199+
200+
1. **Clone the repository**
201+
```bash
202+
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/StellarChainAnalysis.git
203+
cd StellarChainAnalysis
204+
```
205+
2. Copy environment template
206+
```bash
207+
cp .env.example .env
208+
```
209+
210+
3. Launch services
211+
```bash
212+
docker-compose up -d
213+
```
214+
215+
4. Access the platform
216+
- Dashboard: http://localhost:5000
217+
- Neo4j Browser: http://localhost:7474
218+
- API Docs: http://localhost:5000/api/docs
219+
220+
## Testing & Quality
221+
222+
The project includes a comprehensive test suite:
223+
- **Unit tests** for individual components
224+
- **Integration tests** with live Neo4j containers
225+
- **End-to-end scenarios** simulating real attack patterns
226+
227+
All code adheres to **PEP 8** and is validated via **Flake8** and **Black**.
228+
229+
## Security Considerations
230+
231+
- API keys required for all external access
232+
- Input validation on all public endpoints
233+
- Secrets never committed to version control
234+
- Regular dependency scanning (Safety, Bandit)
235+
- Principle of least privilege in database permissions
236+
237+
