Coinbase leverages Databricks to scale ML on blockchain data, turning vast transaction networks into actionable insights. This session explores how Databricks’ scalable infrastructure, powered by Delta Lake, enables real-time processing for ML applications like NFT floor price predictions. We’ll show how GraphFrames helps us analyze billion-node transaction graphs (e.g., Bitcoin) for clustering and fraud detection, uncovering structural patterns in blockchain data. But traditional graph analytics has limits. We’ll go further with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) using Kumo AI, which learn from the transaction network itself rather than relying on hand-engineered features. By encoding relationships directly into the model, GNNs adapt to new fraud tactics, capturing subtle relationships that evolve over time. Join us to see how Coinbase is advancing blockchain ML with Databricks and deep learning on graphs.
