Dune’s dashboards make it easy to visualize market share and trends across DeFi and perpetuals platforms.
Dune: The Data Treasure Trove for Crypto Analytics
Why Dune Matters for Crypto Traders
If you’re serious about crypto trading or DeFi research, you’ve probably heard of Dune. Dune is an open analytics platform that lets anyone query, visualize, and share blockchain data. It’s like having a Bloomberg Terminal for on-chain activity—except it’s free, community-driven, and incredibly flexible.
The Problem: Too Much Data, Not Enough Insight
Blockchains are transparent, but raw data is overwhelming. There are millions of transactions, hundreds of protocols, and new trends popping up every week. How do you make sense of it all? Most platforms only show surface-level stats, and custom analytics are usually locked behind paywalls or require coding skills.
The Dune Difference: Open, Flexible, and Visual
Dune changes the game by letting anyone write SQL queries against live blockchain data, then turn those results into beautiful dashboards. The best part? The community shares their work, so you can fork, remix, or just explore dashboards made by top analysts.
Real-World Example: Perpetuals & DeFi Analytics
One of my favorite dashboards is the Perps Market Share & Analytics by @uwusanauwu. It tracks everything from protocol dominance to trading volumes and TVL, all in real time.
Market Share: Who’s Winning the Perps Race?
