Transaction Structure Analysis

Transaction structure analysis involves deconstructing the technical layout of a transaction to understand its components and potential intent. This includes examining the input-to-output ratio, the presence of specific opcodes, and the inclusion of data payloads or scripts.

By understanding how a transaction is built, analysts can infer whether it was created by a standard wallet, a multi-signature contract, or a complex DeFi protocol. This analysis is fundamental for detecting non-standard transactions that might be associated with exploits or automated bot activity.

It allows forensic experts to go beyond simple address tracing and understand the mechanics of the transaction itself. This level of technical insight is required to investigate sophisticated attacks on smart contracts and liquidity pools.
