Transaction Velocity Spike

The wallet processes an unusually high number of transactions per hour over the analyzed window.

Why it matters

Abnormally high transaction velocity is associated with bots, automated layering, or programmatic fund distribution rather than manual human activity.

How we detect it

Measure transactions-per-hour over the tracked window and flag wallets that exceed a materiality floor with enough transactions to be statistically meaningful.

Example evidence

A cluster of transfers with a short average interval sustained across enough transactions to rule out coincidence.
