• Authors: Youwei Huang, Tao Zhang, Sen Fang, Youshuai Tan
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel deep learning-based approach, SmartIntentNN, to conduct automated smart contract intent detection. SmartIntentNN consists of three primary parts: a pre-trained sentence encoder to generate the contextual representations of smart contracts, a K-means clustering method to highlight intent-related representations, and a bidirectional LSTM-based (long-short term memory) multi-label classification network to predict the intents in smart contracts. Experiments show that SmartIntentNN outperforms all baselines by up to 0.8212 in terms of the f1-score metric.

• Abstract: Nowadays, security activities in smart contracts concentrate on vulnerability detection. Despite early success, we find that developers' intent to write smart contracts is a more noteworthy security concern because smart contracts with malicious intent have caused significant users' financial loss. Unfortunately, current approaches to identify the aforementioned malicious smart contracts rely on smart contract security audits, which entail huge manpower consumption and financial expenditure. To resolve this issue, we propose a novel deep learning-based approach, SmartIntentNN, to conduct automated smart contract intent detection. SmartIntentNN consists of three primary parts: a pre-trained sentence encoder to generate the contextual representations of smart contracts, a K-means clustering method to highlight intent-related representations, and a bidirectional LSTM-based (long-short term memory) multi-label classification network to predict the intents in smart contracts. To evaluate the performance of SmartIntentNN, we collect more than 40,000 real smart contracts and perform a series of comparison experiments with our selected baseline approaches. The experimental results demonstrate that SmartIntentNN outperforms all baselines by up to 0.8212 in terms of the f1-score metric.
