Before the inception of Dune Analytics in 2018, there was a significant challenge in the Ethereum community regarding the analysis of Ethereum activity data. There were limited resources to answer arbitrary questions about Ethereum activity with data or to track how that data evolved over time. A few sites reported specific metrics, but they lacked transparency and flexibility to interact with the metrics and data provided. This lack of comprehensive and interactive data made it difficult to benchmark metrics across different dApps in a meaningful way. Consequently, community discussions and product decisions were often based on inconsistent comparisons or made without considering data at all.
Dune Analytics is a platform that serves the Ethereum community by providing comprehensive and interactive Ethereum data. The platform is designed for users who need to analyze Ethereum activity data, benchmark metrics across different dApps, and make informed decisions based on data. Dune Analytics users range from Ethereum enthusiasts to developers and decision-makers in the Ethereum community. The platform offers a plug-and-play experience, allowing users to create their own dashboards full of visual graphs, access real-time smart contract events, contract calls, and Ethereum transactions, and easily join token/USD prices to get USD volumes of on-chain activity.
Dune Analytics was developed to address these challenges by offering the Ethereum community Ethereum data with SQL. This solution allows users to visualize results and share them with the world in a matter of minutes. Users can create their own dashboard full of beautiful visual graphs within a plug-and-play experience. Dune Analytics provides all the smart contract events, contract calls, and Ethereum transactions in real-time. They also offer token/USD prices that users can easily join with to get USD volumes of on-chain activity. Beyond the data and tooling, Dune Analytics makes it easy to explore all the other great analyses that fellow community members have created with Dune. Users can simply fork the query with a click to make it their own, eliminating the need to wonder about what is actually going on.
