AIDA 数据集:用链上 MEV 数据追踪 AI 服务中断的影响

AIDA: An AI Outage Registry with Evidence from On-Chain MEV

Why we picked it

几个研究者把 2025-2026 年 30 家 AI 厂商的宕机记录做成了数据集,还拿来和以太坊 MEV 链上数据对上了,发现 OpenAI 宕机那天新交易机器人部署明显变少。做量化或链上开发的话挺有参考价值。

论文构建了 AIDA(AI Incident and Disruption Archive),收录 2025 到 2026 年 30 家供应商共 5,868 条去重后的服务中断记录,并附带状态页或事后报告的原始链接佐证。研究将其与 5,041,034 笔经核验的以太坊 MEV 交易、8,516 个地址,以及 Base L2 上 22 个月内 1,099,593,191 笔 swap 数据配对分析。结果显示,2024 年末到 2026 年末活跃套利地址翻了两番,但执行仍集中在头部,前 50 个地址占已核验交易的三分之二。在 OpenAI 中断时段,以太坊上发布私有执行器的新地址降至 0.67,Base 上运营商顶级合约创建降至 0.76,而已部署的机器人和非交易类创建不受影响。

AIDA: An AI Outage Registry with Evidence from On-Chain MEV

Generative AI coding tools have lowered the cost of writing trading software, but no systematic dataset records when these services fail. We introduce the AI Incident and Disruption Archive (AIDA), a multi-vendor registry of 5,868 deduplicated outage incidents across 30 providers from 2025 to 2026, with foundation-model incidents verified against primary status-page or postmortem URLs. Pairing AIDA with 5,041,034 verified maximal extractable value (MEV) transactions by 8,516 Ethereum addresses, their contract creations, and a 22-month Base Layer-2 panel of 1,099,593,191 swaps and 29,120 private executors, we establish two findings. First, entry into MEV expanded where code and public state suffice, as active arbitrage addresses quadrupled from late 2024 to late 2026 and liquidators grew by a third, while sandwich attackers, who need private order flow and builder access, declined. Execution nonetheless remained concentrated, with the top fifty addresses executing two thirds of verified trades. Second, AI outages stall new trading code while deployed bots keep trading. On Ethereum, addresses releasing a private executor fall to 0.67 on the day of an eight-hour disruption (0.68 for executor creations during OpenAI outage hours) and to 0.66 at lag two before rebounding on day three; on Base, operator top-level creations fall to 0.76 during OpenAI hours and executor-deploying operators to 0.88 at lag two. Non-trading creations, automated factory clones, and live arbitrage and sandwich execution across both chains remain unchanged. Cheaper code thus lowers the barrier to building MEV contracts, while private order flow, latency and capital still determine who wins execution.
