Dune Analytics

 

Dune Analytics is an open-source on-chain analytics engine that enables users to discover, analyze, and visualize on-chain data for several blockchain networks. Established in 2017 by Fredrik Haga and Mats Olsen, Dune has emerged as one of the most popular platforms when it comes to conducting research on blockchain, gaining market intelligence, and performing on-chain analytics.

 

The platform makes use of on-chain data by transforming raw blockchain transactions into queryable datasets using SQL. The user can create dashboards, track wallets, perform DeFi analysis, track stablecoins, study the economy of tokens, and share their discoveries with the crypto community.
