A cluster is a group of blockchain addresses inferred or known to be controlled by the same actor, service, wallet, or entity. Clustering can use heuristics such as co-spending, change-address behavior, deposit patterns, smart-contract interactions, and research evidence, but strong programs track confidence and avoid treating every inference as certain.
