Prosper Peer-to-Peer Lending Trust Network
A Prosper.com (peer-to-peer lending platform) dataset of 89,269 nodes and 3,330,225 edges, collected by KONECT via Prosper API. Each record contains directed: True, weighted: True, signed: False, temporal: True. Directed trust network from a peer-to-peer lending platform where users vouch for borrowers. Temporal edges with Unix timestamps enable longitudinal trust propagation analysis.. Suitable for trust network analysis, temporal network analysis, peer-to-peer lending.
