1. Who is the Platform Intended for?

The SHARD platform is designed for a wide range of users: financial institutions, cryptocurrency companies (crypto exchanges and exchangers), companies engaged in foreign trade, as well as individuals and competent government agencies.

Any user can use the platform to access popular blockchains and visualize the address and transaction chain data.

Similarly, a crypto company compliance officer or a bank compliance officer can verify client's addresses and transactions, conduct cryptocurrency paths research, and determine the origin of the coins (namely, from whom the funds were received).

The SHARD platform enables banks to ensure compliance with the Russian and international AML/CFT/CFT requirements and fully implement Federal Law No. 115-FZ, Bank of Russia Regulation No. 375-P, and Bank of Russia Methodological Recommendations No. 16-MR dated September 6, 2021.

2. Information Required for the SHARD Platform Installation

The SHARD platform software (hereinafter referred to as the SW) is in two versions: “software as a service” (SaaS) and “software for on-premise installation” (hereinafter referred to as “On-Premise”).

2.1. Gaining Access to the SHARD Platform

There are three main ways to get an access to the platform:

1. Using the Web Interface (SaaS model).
   The platform is accessible to users at shard.ru. The software is provided as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) and requires no installation.
   To access functionality, just visit the above address using the browser (Safari, Google Chrome, or Yandex Browser) installed on a personal computer or a mobile device.
   To access a full range of software features, users must register and log in to their personal account.
2. On-Premise Version
   The software designed for on-premise installation ("On-Premise") is provided exclusively to corporate customers (hereinafter referred to as the "Client").
   When choosing this option, it is necessary to take into consideration the specifics of the client's information infrastructure, their requirements for software functionality and information security.
   To get an access to the On-Premise version, the Client must send a free-form request to: info@shard.ru. In response, instructions and detailed connection information will be provided.
3. Integration via API
   The platform supports interaction with external services via API. This method allows third-party systems to request data and display the platform operation results in their own interfaces. Please note that integration via API is paid separately.
   It is important to note that this option is not an On-premise solution: all the data remains stored on the platform, not on the client's infrastructure.

---

3. Platform Functionality

The SHARD platform allows you to research addresses and transactions in the Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Tron networks in order to:

• Check address and transaction risks;
• Visualize transactions and address relationships;
• Conduct your own investigation.

The list of the supported blockchains is constantly updated – available options can be seen on the main page of the site in the section «Supported Cryptocurrency Networks».

The SHARD platform extracts a wide range of data from public blockchain networks, enriches the data using external open sources of information and proprietary analytics, and presents the resulting data in a searchable and user-friendly format.

The platform has an intuitive interface for both computers, tablets, and mobile phones.

The platform is available in Russian and English.

---

4. Unique Platform Features

• A fully Russian open-source development for a wide range of users (Certificate of State Registration of Computer Program No. 2023680266 dated September 27, 2023);
• Risk assessment of any address in the Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Tron networks;
• An analytical tool — a "transaction visualization graph";
• A constantly updated company directory — VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider), containing basic information about cryptocurrency exchanges, exchange services, crypto companies, as well as information on risk levels, company AML/KYT policies, and sanctions.

5. Website Navigation Bar

The platform main screen features a search bar, the lists of the supported cryptocurrency networks and coins, a digest of the latest cryptocurrency news and analysis (the "Blog"), VASP cards, and available services.

5.1. Platform Log in

To gain full access to the SHARD platform, you must log in and create a "user account."

The log in and authorization button for new users is located in the upper right corner of the shard.ru.

You can log in on the platform using your Telegram account or email.

5.1.1. Log in with Email

To log in with email, enter your email address, password, and agree to the platform policies.

Important! To confirm the email address entered and activate the account, the user receives an email with an activation link from api-team@shard.ru. Activation is required to complete the personal account creation process.

To log in to your personal account enter your email address and password in the authorization form and click "Login."

5.1.2. Log in with Telegram

To merge the accounts and the data for the account to be merged, please, contact technical support at support@shard.ru.

5.2. Using the Search Bar

The "Search Bar" is a search field for searching the required information: address, transaction, block, and VASP name.

After entering the data in the search bar, the platform proceeds to the address, transaction, block, or the company card.

The search bar has a built-in scanner for scanning the wallet address QR code.

If more than one match is found, the platform prompts the user to select the desired option.

Most often this situation occurs when searching through a virtual asset service provider (VASP) catalog or if the desired cryptocurrency details are found in more than one blockchain.

If the searched data combinations in the query do not match the results in the platform database, the platform displays the "Not Found" message.

6. User's Personal Account

6.1. Address Monitoring

You can add an address to the "Monitoring" section in the user's personal account (not available on all rate plans—you can view the plans at shard.ru/prices).

6.1.1. To create a monitoring section, you must:

• Specify the address to be monitored (the supported networks only);
• Specify a monitoring name;
• Configure the triggers and the filters that will send notifications to the user's personal account/Telegram bot/email.

6.1.2. Possible filters and triggers:

• Address falling into the #blacklist category;
• Filter by incoming transaction amount (for EVM network addresses, you can select filter(s) for any supported token);
• Filter by outgoing transaction amount (for EVM network addresses, you can select filter(s) for any supported token);
• Filter by interaction with the tagged addresses (requires tag selection);
• Filter by tagged incoming coins (requires tag selection).

To activate monitoring, select the custom filter(s) by clicking the checkbox to the left of the filter name, specify the filter amounts or tags, and click "Add Address."

After creating monitoring, you can change its settings: name, enable/disable filters, and change amounts and tags. To apply the changes, click "Save."

You can create multiple monitoring sections.

6.1.3. Address Lists

You can add an address to a "black" or "white" user list in the user's personal account.

Whether an address is in a "white" or "black" list it is indicated before the hash on the address card.

6.1.4. Address Monitoring Disclaimer

Please note that SHARD JSC is not responsible for the timeliness of notifications of changes sent by the SHARD Address Monitoring Service, and their relevance, as well as for the non-receipt, late receipt or distortion of notifications caused by technical failures, overlaps or other circumstances arising in the process of data transmission and beyond the reasonable control of SHARD JSC.

Notifications sent as part of the SHARD Address Monitoring Service are for informational purposes only and cannot be used as a basis for making legally significant decisions, nor do they constitute advice or recommendations.

---

6.2. Risk Model

By default, the SHARD risk model is used, but users can create their own risk model for an individual use in their personal account, changing the risk percentage for the selected risk tag.

The maximum number of risk models created is 3.

To create a risk model, you must:

• Specify a name;
• Set the risk level for tags (using a slider or a number). The color of the risk will change as the value changes;
• Save the model.

All the created models will be displayed on the risk models page.

On this page you can also select the default model to be used when checking risks, by clicking the circle next to the model you want to use as the default.

You can edit, rename, or delete a created risk model. The SHARD risk model cannot be edited or deleted.

On the address and transaction pages, the current risk model is displayed above the risk assessment; you can change it without logging into your account.

The model selected in the platform web version will also be used in the Telegram bot.

6.2.1. Risk Model Disclaimer

The SHARD platform users have the right to independently configure risk parameters, creating risk models for personal use, for working with clients, or for other purposes. However, SHARD JSC bears no responsibility for the consequences of using the custom risk models, including the results, the conclusions, and information displayed in the platform web interface or in any report generated using such models.

SHARD JSC does not guarantee accuracy, reliability, completeness, or compliance with the user’s or third parties’ expectations regarding the information obtained on independently selected risk parameters and risk models.

When using their own risk models and risk parameters, the platform user is obliged to inform third parties, including their own clients that the results, conclusions, and information displayed in the web browser or platform reports are based on the risk model and the risk parameters selected by the user.

6.2.2. Recording Current Risk Assessment in PDF Format

Recording address risk assessment, with specification of the risk model used for assessment, affords to generate an address risk assessment report, which can be downloaded to your device in a PDF format.

The report contains:

• Overall address risk assessment;
• Brief financial summary for each token;
• Information on clusters and owners (without detailed information on VASPs);
• FATF indicators and risk indicators;
• Coin risk and reputation for each token;
• Information on the risk model used;
• Date and time of risk assessment.

Note: Risk assessment is available only to the registered users with an appropriate rate plan.

7. Telegram Bot

The @ShardRUBot Telegram bot can:

• Display the address risk and coin details;
• Send a report to an address;
• Display profile information, the rate plan, and the remaining "My Account" checks;
• Send messages from the monitoring service.

Shard Risk Bot: To use the Telegram bot with the rate plan, link Telegram in your personal account on the shard.ru website.

8. Notifications

The user receives notifications:

• On the shard.ru website;
• Pop-up messages about the key actions (the report request status, the risk display result, the graph tooltips) appear in the lower left corner of the website page;
• Service messages and messages from the monitoring service — in the "Notifications" section of the user's personal account;
• Rate plan information, available services, and the remaining checks in the "Tariff" section of the Personal Account;
• Via email and/or Telegram — the channel is selected in the "Notifications" section of the user's personal account: service messages, reports, messages from the monitoring service.

---

9. Address Page

9.1. Address Card

The address card displays specific address information grouped into sections:

• Basic information;
• Address risk assessment;
• Detailed analysis of the risk categories of coins received at the address and their ratios;
• Balance and transaction list;
• Reports;
• Probable owner of the address

10. Basic Information about the Address

The section "Basic Information" of an address includes cryptocurrency and balance information which is updated each time a transaction occurs. Additionally, the lower left corner of the main section of the address card may display information about the address "cluster" (an aggregation of addresses belonging to a specific service or exchange) and its owner.

This section provides information about the address activity—the number of transactions it has performed.

You can also see the dates of the first transaction and the last one, the amount of cryptocurrency the address has received, the amount sent, and the current balance.

10.1. The Graph Building

The address or the transaction card has a "Build Graph" radio button for building an address or a transaction graph.
A visualization tool (a transaction graph) allows users to visually explore the blockchain and build transaction graphs for a set of addresses and transactions. Graph building can be started from any address or transaction.

Graph building is available in several ways:

• Add more inputs/outputs to the transaction in visualization;
• Add more transactions for the given address or expand the path forward (to where the cryptocurrency funds were withdrawn) or backward (to investigate the origin of the cryptocurrency funds).

Clicking on each address/transaction opens a modal pop-up window containing the same information regarding the movement of cryptocurrency funds as in the address/transaction card.

Comments can be added to the graph which can be attached to a specific address or transaction.

The graph can be duplicated for editing and shared via a link.

This visualization tool can be useful for financial institutions or law enforcement and regulatory agencies as it allows them to determine the source and the destination of cryptocurrency transfers.

10.2. Detailed Address Analysis

A detailed address analysis includes the following elements:

• Address Reputation — an accumulated historical risk of the coins received at the address (based on the total, accumulated exposure);
• Risk Level of Coins at the address at the moment: coin risk exposure shows distribution of the coins remaining at the address by risk tags at the current time;
• Risk Level of the Cluster which the address is part of;
• Risk Level associated with the presence of the users’ confirmed messages (reports);
• Risk Exposure of the Coins received at the address;
• Risk Exposure of the Coins at the address;
• FATF Indicators — the risk of direct interaction with the sanctioned addresses or the addresses identified as involved in criminal activity (taking into account FATF recommendations);
• Risk Indicators — the risk of direct interaction with high- and very high-risk addresses;
• Additional Indicators —the risk of finding a token marked as “Sanctions”, “Fraud” or “Financial pyramid” at the address of the coins;
• Reports.

The risk level of coins and addresses is color-coded:

• Green – a low risk (up to 25%). This category includes the addresses and transactions associated with the regulated cryptocurrency platforms that implement KYC procedures and assess the risk of their clients.
• Yellow – a medium risk (up to 50%). This category includes the addresses and transactions associated with various cryptocurrency services operating in jurisdictions without proper regulation, decentralized exchanges, and other platforms where the source of funds is typically not determined, such as fundraising.
• Orange – a high risk (up to 75%). This category includes high-risk, low-transparency financial services, the services listed by regulators as potentially unscrupulous, and the services with a traditionally high risk of money laundering, such as gambling.
• Red – a very high risk (up to 100%). This category includes the addresses and transactions likely to be associated with criminal activity or sanctions. Interaction with the address is highly undesirable. A very high risk of blocking the funds at the cryptocurrency exchange.

The SHARD platform tracks each coin from the moment it is debited from an address with a base risk (by cluster or report). This allows determination of the ratio of coins of different risks at each of the millions of addresses in the blockchain.

To view the risk categories of the coins arrived at some address, click the "Detailed Analysis" button located under the coin risk category.

To view the risk categories of the coins which are currently at the address, select the "Coins" tab.

If there are no coins at the address, the "Coins" tab displays the missing coins.

10.3. Detailed Address Risk Report

To order a PDF report containing additional information not displayed on the address card, click the "Get report by address" button.

The report is generated within a few seconds to a few minutes and will be sent to the email address or the Telegram account linked to the user's account on the SHARD platform.

Report contents:

• Financial summary of the address balance;
• Address balance dynamics;
• Information on the identified transaction risks (FATF indicators and risk indicators);
• Address risk assessment;
• Address risk assessment in tokens (if any);
• Cluster and VASP data if the address is owner assigned;
• Report data.

10.4. Address Risk Assessment

Address risk is calculated based on a number of factors, with a unique algorithm within the SHARD platform.

"Risk" is a metric for "purity" of cryptocurrency and tokens, based on information about legality of their origin and the level of their involvement in suspicious transactions.

Risk assessment of a cryptocurrency address is calculated with a formula and reflects the balance between reputation (the accumulated historical risk of coins received at the cryptocurrency address based on the accumulated exposure), the risk of the coins currently held at the address (based on the current exposure), its connections to clusters, the presence of reports, as well as risk indicators, FATF, and others.

The final risk assessment of an address allows us to draw the conclusions about the degree of its involvement in suspicious transactions and assess "purity" of the coins and transactions received at the address.

10.5. Financial Action Task Force

Our analytical model for identifying a suspicious transaction activity (FATF Indicators and Risk Indicators) is based on the FATF recommendations developed specifically for cryptocurrencies and includes:

• Assessment of the nature of transactions, their frequency and size;
• Assessment of the address balance, frequency of its changes, and duration of absence of debits and credits;
• Assessment of the source of funds and their recipients;
• Geographic risks (the addresses related to the entities associated with the countries not complying with the FATF requirements).

10.6. List of transactions/transfers

The transactions list contains completed transactions/transfers sorted by date, with the most recent transactions at the top and the oldest at the bottom.

The total withdrawal amount of a transaction/transfer contains three values: in cryptocurrency, in Russian rubles, and in US dollars, based on the exchange rate on the date of transaction/transfer. By default, all the amounts are rounded. The exact value is available in a tooltip when hovering over the amount (desktop PC) or clicking on it (a mobile device).

In this section, you can also see the date the transaction/transfer was completed, the transaction/transfer hash, the total withdrawal amount, change in the address balance and a list of inputs/outputs.

Relevant information about the cluster or the owner the address belongs to is displayed below the sender’s or the recipient’s address.

10.7. Sorting and filtering transactions

For easy finding a transaction, you can use the transaction filter and sort transactions. By default, the filters and sorting are collapsed; you can expand them by clicking the filter button.

The following sorting options are available for EVM networks:

• First, the newest (used by default);
• First, the oldest (the oldest translations are displayed first);
• Ascending (works only for one selected token);
• Descending (works only for one selected token).

For BTC, BCH and LTC networks, the following sortings are available:

• First, the newest (used by default);
• First, the oldest (the oldest translations are displayed first);
• Ascending;
• Descending.

Only one sorting can be selected at a time.

10.8. Transaction filters

For EVM networks, the following filters are available:

• By token (EVM networks only);
• By date;
• By all the incoming and outgoing transactions;
• By address (one address can be specified).

For BTC, BCH, and LTC networks, the following filters are available:

• By date;
• By all the incoming and outgoing transactions;
• By address (one address can be specified).

All the filters can be selected simultaneously or individually.
Filters and sorting can work simultaneously (for example, "Ascending" sorting + filtering by address).

10.9. Address Balance

The balance is displayed as a graph showing the cryptocurrency dynamics at the address under analysis. Balance dynamics is displayed in cryptocurrency, US dollars, and Russian rubles.

To change the display period, you can use a slider at the bottom of the widget.

This feature allows you to drill down into the balance dynamics by narrowing the display period.

---

11. Transaction Page

The transaction card displays:

• Transaction currency;
• Transaction hash;
• Transaction creation date and block number;
• Transaction risk assessment (based on the risk assessment of the sender addresses).

The card can also contain information about the recipients’ and the senders’ addresses, as well as the amounts transferred in cryptocurrency, Russian rubles, and US dollars.

By default, all the amounts are rounded. The exact value is available in a focused tooltip.

All the card addresses are interactive, and clicking on any of them takes you to the card page for the address of interest.

The platform provides the ability to download a report on any transaction in the supported networks in a PDF format. This feature is available to all authorized users and does not require AML checks. The document can be used as an official confirmation of the completed transaction.

A transaction risk assessment report which can be downloaded to your device in a PDF format, allows you to determine the transaction risk specifying the risk model used for risk assessment.

The transaction risk assessment report contains:

• Transaction risk assessment;
• General transaction information;
• Information about the tokens transferred in a transaction;
• A complete list of transfers;
• Risk levels of each transaction participant at the time of execution.

---

12. VASP Page

The SHARD platform contains information on thousands of cryptocurrency services—exchanges, exchangers, investment companies, and other crypto services operating (or previously operating) worldwide.

To find a company, enter its name in the search bar.

The VASP card contains description of the service and may also include information about various incidents and sanctions.

Each VASP displays risk level and tag, and may also specify a sanctions tag.

Information on the company is divided into three sections:

1. Basic Information:
   1.1. Organization type;
   1.2. Current status (operating or inactive);
   1.3. Country of origin;
   1.4. Date founded;

   2.3. Social media.

3. Registration Information:
   3.1. Company legal entities (all known to the platform) and their registered addresses
4. Information on the imposed sanctions

---

13. Working with a Graph

A graph is a graphical representation of the cryptocurrency fund transfers between cryptocurrency addresses via transactions or transfers.

The graph consists of nodes ("Address," "Transaction," "Transfer") connected by links. Cryptocurrency funds move from left to right.

For the rate plans including an AML access on the graph, the address on the graph is color-coded to indicate its risk level as assessed by the SHARD platform: red, orange, yellow, or green.

1. Save the graph and its changes;
2. Name the graph when saving;
3. Add a comment;
4. Name of the address or the cluster owner;
5. Color display of the address risk level (available depending on the rate plan);
6. The amount transferred from the address within a transaction;
7. The amount received at the recipient's address;
8. Selection mode;
9. Move mode;
10. Return to the starting address for the graph;
11. Undo an action;
12. Redo an action;
13. Copy a graph link;
14. Duplicate a graph;
15. Export as PNG;
16. Export as CSV;
17. Import as CSV;
18. Full screen mode;
19. Find or add an object;
20. Select a graph building mode;
21. Show/hide comments and risk.

Cryptocurrency funds debited from the address are displayed as links going from the right.

Cryptocurrency funds received by the address are displayed as links entering the address icon on the left.

Similarly, the cryptocurrency funds sent and received by addresses during a transaction are displayed as links on the left and the right sides of the transaction icon, respectively.

The direction of cryptocurrency flow is also indicated with the arrows used to reverse the address or a transaction chain, or simply with arrows if reversal in a given direction is impossible.

In the example below, you can see that the address was deposited from the one belonging to the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, while cryptocurrency was withdrawn to the address whose ownership is not known.

13.1. Basic Graph Work

Basic graph work involves finding the addresses of services that are sources for depositing funds into the desired address and identifying the addresses used to withdraw the cryptocurrency funds from it, the above-mentioned addresses also belong to these services or are used as storage wallets.

13.2. Starting Address or Transaction for Graph Building

The starting address and transaction from which the graph starts can be marked for ease of use.

Once marked, they are highlighted in dark blue, and when you click the "Return to Start Address" button, the graph is automatically centered around the starting address or transaction.

While the graph is being built, the starting address or transaction can be changed by right-clicking on the address or transaction and selecting "Mark" from the appearing menu. You can also unmark the address or transaction in the same way.

A blurred background at the top of the address indicates that a graph element is loading. You must wait for a complete display, without blurring, of this element

13.3. Modal Window

Clicking on the address or transaction selects the specified node in the graph, and a modal window opens for it.

This aligns the selected node with the center of the graph window area not covered by the modal window.

The transaction modal window contains a list of all the addresses involved in the transaction and the amount of the cryptocurrency funds received or sent by each address during transaction.

The transaction list is divided into two tables: the addresses sending the cryptocurrency funds and the addresses receiving the cryptocurrency funds.

The address modal window contains a list of all the transactions involving the selected address, the transaction dates, and the amounts of the cryptocurrency funds received or sent by the address.

Transactions can be sorted by the following criteria:

• First, the newest (used by default);
• First, the oldest (oldest transfers are displayed first);
• Ascending (works only for one selected token in EVM networks);
• Descending (works only for one selected token in EVM networks).

You can select only one sorting option at a time.

Filters may be applied by the following criteria:

• By token (only for EVM networks);
• By date;
• By all incoming and outgoing transactions;
• By address (one address can be specified).

There is also a zero transaction filter; it will exclude zero transfers from the list of transactions/transfers.

Filters can be selected simultaneously or individually.
Filters and sorting options can work simultaneously (for example, "Ascending" sorting + filter by address).

The transfer amount in the address modal window corresponds to the transfer amount for this address in the transaction modal window.

The modal window also contains an exclamation point indicating the presence of reports (messages) for this address. A similar mark in the form of an exclamation mark is also present on the graph, in the lower left corner of the address.

13.4. Expanding and Collapsing the Chains

The chains of addresses transactions and the addresses involved in a transaction can be expanded with the plus sign buttons in the graph or by selecting checkboxes in the address or a transaction modal window.

Clicking the plus sign buttons expands the chains of addresses and transactions with the largest transfer amounts.

To collapse the chains of addresses, clear the checkbox in the modal window or delete a node in the graph.

13.5. Selecting a Graph Building Mode

The platform allows you to select a building mode (opening of the next nodes). You can select the preferred building mode in the graph's top menu. The plus signs will be highlighted in the color corresponding to the available mode for each node.

13.6. Node Merging

When the relationship chain is quite long, you can use the node merging function.

In selection mode, select the nodes and click the "Merge" button. As a result, several nodes will change their display to a single grouped node.

There are two numbers next to the group icon. The first one displays the number of addresses in the group, and the second one displays the number of transactions. You can add a comment containing information about the addresses and their owners to the group in the modal window.

The merged nodes can be expanded, marked, deleted, or exported to CSV by right-clicking them.

13.7. Node Dragging

The graph supports node dragging during which the links are dynamically redrawn.

13.8. Node Selecting

A selection mode is available for group operations with nodes. Selection is reset by selecting a node, clicking outside the nodes, or dragging the node which is not in the selection.

The graph supports a simultaneous dragging of the selected nodes. Free links of the dragged nodes are also redrawn, and their styles are changed.

13.9. Undo and Redo Actions

For convenience, the platform implements an undo and redo functionality for graph building with the buttons at the top of the graph workspace.

13.10. Comment Adding/Removing

For ease of use, when building a graph, you can now add your own notes for individual addresses and transactions.

To add a note, click the "Add Comment" button in the menu and select the graph element to which the comment will be attached.

In the comment pop-up window, you can add a text and edit it. After creating and editing the text, save the comment by clicking the circle with the gray upward arrow located to the right of the comment text. After editing, you can hide the comment.

Graph elements with notes are marked with a special icon in the upper-right corner of the address.

To show or hide all the comments in the graph, click the "Show Comments" button. When the checkbox is selected, the comments appear in a pop-up window next to the address or a transaction node; when the checkbox is cleared, the comments are hidden.

13.11. Adding Objects to the Graph

The graph functionality allows you to add individual addresses or transactions to an already available graph, using the "Find or add object" field located in the upper left corner of the graph building page.

To add an address or a transaction, enter its details in the input field for adding an object. The added object will appear on the graph.

When adding a transaction made in different tokens, you can select the token for adding to the graph.

If a single transaction involved multiple transfers in the same token, all transfers in the selected token are added.

You can add to the graph only the objects from the same network (blockchain) in which the graph was originally built.

The graph functionality allows you to search for the addresses and the transactions that are already on the graph. If the object you are adding already exists on the graph, the system centers the graph on that object.

13.12. Saving a Graph

To save a graph, click the "Save" button. If the graph was not saved before, the browser address bar changes to /graph/saved/:graphId.

If you need to name a specific graph, enter it in the appropriate field. By default, each graph is named "New Graph."

The saved graphs remain in the "Saved Graphs" section of the user's personal account. If another user created the graph, click the "Duplicate Graph" button to save the graph to the user's personal account and make it editable.

After saving a graph for the first time, subsequent changes will be saved automatically. After an automatic or a manual saving a graph, the save icon turns gray.

Clicking the "Copy Graph Link" button saves the link to the clipboard.

13.13. Graph Export/Import

Detailed data about the transactions/transfers in the graph are exported to the graph table: blockchain, token, date, block, hash, the sender’s and the recipient’s addresses, the sender and the recipient owner, the transferred amount, and the comments.

To export the selected graph elements to CSV, select the nodes, right-click the selected field, and select "Export CSV."
