Galaxy Research Analyzes Bitcoin Chain 'Gibberish Inscriptions' as Test Bot Babel Scribe

Huo Xing Cai Jing reports that on October 25, Galaxy Research published a post stating that over the past approximately three weeks, someone has nearly daily inserted around 40 sentences resembling ciphertext into Bitcoin, such as “Ieqkenszm aalzrnbgtr…,” but statistical analysis reveals these are not encrypted. Among the 562 text segments, the frequency of all 26 letters ranged between 3.6% and 4.2%, with a coincidence index of approximately 0.0385, close to random. No peaks were detected in Vigenère key length analysis, and word length distribution resembled randomly generated “pseudo-prose.” The on-chain behavior of inserting these “nonsense inscriptions” exhibits bot-like characteristics: each transaction features a single input, a new change address, and one OP_RETURN output, forming approximately 31 funding chains with a maximum length of 86 hops; long texts are posted roughly every six hours, short texts every 90 minutes, with daily output increasing from about 12 to around 40 transactions, and confirmations clustered near UTC 05:00, 11:00, 17:00, and 23:00, continuing uninterrupted on weekends and during nighttime. Galaxy Research estimates that this entity has collectively spent approximately 3.33 million satoshis, with about 24% paid as miner fees and about 76% still remaining in its own addresses,无人收款. The team has named this activity “Babel Scribe,” concluding it is likely a test of a data publishing tool on mainnet rather than a means of transmitting secret messages, and recommends against further interpretation of these texts.
