【Abstract】Cryptocurrency is a relatively mature application of blockchain technology. The openness of transaction records provides researchers with the opportunity to analyse and compare various cryptocurrencies. The EOS public chain based on EOS.IO supports millions of transactions per second, with billions of transactions, and provides data analysts with a large quantity of analysable transaction data. Combined with the Ethereum platform data of the same period, this paper focuses on the transaction data in the EOS.IO blockchain and analyses the data in the Ethereum and EOS.IO chains from a complex network perspective. By constructing cumulative networks and time-slicing methods, constructing transaction networks of different scales, and dynamically analysing the laws of transaction network changes over time, we find that many transactions, such as transaction volume and transaction relationships, exhibit heavy-tail characteristics and conform to a power-law distribution. In particular, with the change in time and the growth in network scale, the power-law distribution is time-invariant. Our research can verify and predict the progress of blockchain development. Through graph analysis, we also obtained some other observations and discovered some interesting mathematical characteristics that explain the actual interactions that occurred on the blockchain.
