This paper describes the Distributed Ledger Network Analyzer (DiLeNA), a new software tool for the analysis of the transactions network recorded in Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs). The set of transactions in a DLT forms a complex network. Studying its characteristics and peculiarities is of paramount importance, in order to understand how users interact in the distributed ledger system. The tool design and implementation is introduced and some results are provided. In particular, the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, i.e. the most famous and used DLTs at the time of writing, have been analyzed and compared.

Abstract
This paper describes the Distributed Ledger Network Analyzer (DiLeNA), a new software tool for the analysis of the transactions network recorded in Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs). The set of transactions in a DLT forms a complex network. Studying its characteristics and peculiarities is of paramount importance, in order to understand how users interact in the distributed ledger system. The tool design and implementation is introduced and some results are provided. In particular, the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, i.e. the most famous and used DLTs at the time of writing, have been analyzed and compared.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
