Open Analytics - 2. Solana Open Analytics
Introduction
Background
Hyperspace is a marketplace for exchanging Solana NFT and NFT flex information and services. Hyperspace has developed a new NFT market aggregator that works in tandem with the Solana NFT analytics dashboard, allowing for a more targeted approach to trading NFTs. Because of this, its customers will be able to purchase NFT from any of Solana's major NFT markets. The evaluation platform will also function as a launch pad for new NFT collections to be displayed on the Solana blockchain.
Blur is the NFT marketplace for pro traders. We started Blur because we wanted a faster platform for trading NFTs ourselves. None existed with the capabilities we needed, so we built it.
Blur lets you to sweep and list across marketplaces, snipe reveals, and manage your portfolio faster than anywhere else.
Method
This dashboard is made to compare two new NFT marketplaces on two important blockchains affected by FTX's bankruptcy in the current month (November, 2022).
Normally, when a black swan appears on the finance markets, the newly stabilized projects are exposed to more risk. So I have chosen Blur and Hyperspace as the two newest NFT marketplaces on Ethereum and Solana chains, to assess how they are affected by FTX's bankruptcy as the newest black swan in the cryptocurrency’s market.
For this purpose, the solana.core.fact_nft_sales and ethereum.core.ez_nft_sales tables were used to assess the aforementioned metrics over time.
Also, the ethereum.core.dim_nft_metadata and solana.core.dim_nft_metadata tables were used to determine the traits of the most popular NFT collection on both platforms.
Because these marketplaces are still in their early stages, the information displayed in this dashboard is from September and October for Hyperspace and Blur, respectively.
✍🏻 Conclusion
As of findings above:
- The Solana blockchain has typically been the most impacted by the FTX bankruptcy. Subsequently, Hyperspace, as one of the new founded marketplaces, has also been impacted.
- On the other hand, this event has had less effect on Ethereum network, and the potentially huge airdrop that has been officially announced by blurdao.eth, makes it more appealing to NFT traders whose tend to be Airdrop exposure.

Hyperspace VS. Blur
Since freshly founded enterprises typically face the most danger when a "black swan" event occurs in the financial markets, I chose Blur and Hyperspace as two newly stablished NFT marketplaces on the Ethereum and Solana chains, respectively.
This dashboard is made to compare this two platform affected by FTX bankruptcy.
The assessed metrics are include:
> * New & active users over time. > * Sales count and sales volume over time. > * distribution of sales volume > * Collection performance in deferent time periods
Hey there 👋!
Firstly, I appreciate you sticking with it until the conclusion.
I'm Hamed, a civil engineering Ph.D.

I've made many similar dashboards and visualizations since I started at Flipside in January.
Please take a look at my various contact details and let me know what you think.
