This page covers the patterns Wavy Node detects and how to interpret the results you receive from the Scan Risk endpoint. For an overview of how risk scores work, see Risk scores.

​
Detected patterns

The analysis engine identifies the following risk patterns in the transaction graph:
PatternSeverityDescription
mixingCriticalUse of mixing services to hide fund origins
peel_chainHighTransaction chains to fragment and obscure funds
structuringHighSplitting amounts to avoid reporting thresholds
round_trippingMediumFunds returning to origin after multiple hops
mass_wallet_creationMediumCoordinated creation of multiple wallets
wash_tradingMediumArtificial transactions to simulate volume
exchange_hoppingLowRapid movement between exchanges to break traceability

​
Volume scaling

Detection thresholds adjust based on the wallet’s transaction volume to reduce false positives for high-activity addresses.
