Avalanche is a blockchain network that was launched in 2020, designed to provide high-speed and low-cost transactions, as well as support the creation of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts.

Avalanche Gas Fees refer to the fees required to execute transactions or smart contracts on the Avalanche network. These fees are paid in the network's native token, AVAX, and are typically lower than those on other blockchain networks like Ethereum.

Avalanche Decentralized Applications (dApps) are software applications that run on the Avalanche blockchain network, utilizing its fast and scalable infrastructure to provide a variety of services and functionalities. These dApps can range from decentralized finance (DeFi) applications to gaming platforms and more.

Avalanche Contracts refer to smart contracts that are created and executed on the Avalanche blockchain network. These contracts can be used to automate the execution of various types of agreements and transactions, ranging from simple ones like escrow services to more complex ones like decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and yield farming protocols.

This dashboard is designed to be a dynamic tool for analyzing gas usage on the Avalanche network, with a breakdown of contracts and dApps using the following tables:

• avalanche.core.ez_decoded_event_logs
• avalanche.core.dim_labels
• avalanche.core.fact_transactions

The current dashboard is organized into two major pages to visualize the generated fees by dApps and contracts over time and in total.

There are two main parameters in this dashboard, named Since_date and End_date, which allow you to set a user-selectable time period for the dashboard to your desired one. The default time period is the past 12 months (2022-03-27 ~ 2023-03-27).

There is also another parameter named Time_Interval, which you can use to set the time interval of over-time charts to your desired one. (by default: week)

Other pre-set parameters are Selected_dapp and Contact_address, which allow you to input your desired dApp or contract address and compare it with the top dApps or contracts that have generated the most fees volume over time.
