Governing the Cosmos
Jan 11, 2023 - The bear market is for the builders. Governance is for the action. Throughout the cosmos, ecosystem builders are molding the future of their app chain by actively participating in governance and debating actionable measures. Every chain is different so let's take a peak under the hood and compare governance performance on Osmosis, Cosmos, and Terra chains.

An Overview of Top 10 Cosmos Validators in 2023
Feb 17, 2023 - An overview of Top 10 Cosmos Hub's Validators in The Year 2023.
Infamous 82
Dec 10, 2022 - Governance in the Cosmos Hub has gotten spicy, to say the least. Despite gaining the support of some of the most influential names in the space, Prop #82 was rejected after more than 1/3 of voters chose "NoWithVeto". Take a look at governance behavior surrounding Proposal #82 - specifically first time voters and vote switching. Is it possible to identify any key "swing voters" (ie ATOM whales or influential validators) that really turned the tide of the vote? Were any of them first-time voters? What is the average wallet size (in ATOM) of the people voting? Of the people who changed their vote? Further, is Prop #82 significantly different than other proposals from an engagement perspective? Analyze voting for Cosmos #82 vs. other recent governance proposals in the Hub. Has overall governance participation increased or decrease since Prop #82? Finally, have ATOM holders re-delegated their staked ATOM as a result of the vote? Highlight any interesting patterns in re-delegation activity.
FLOW User Retention vs Other Chains
Dec 16, 2022 - How sticky are the users on Flow? Create a detailed analysis comparing user retention on Flow vs. other L1 chains like Ethereum and Solana. How often do users who make a transaction come back and make another transaction one month later? How do monthly active users compare between chains? Bonus: add a section of your analysis comparing retention specifically with regard to NFT purchases. How often do users who purchase an NFT come back and make another purchase one month later?
Cosmos & Delegation
Dec 14, 2022 - Let's explore movement of delegation on Cosmos. When delegators un-stake from one validator and move to another, is there any pattern to where they re-stake? Are users more likely to re-delegate after their validator votes in a way they disagree with? Do they re-align their stake with validators whose values reflect their own? How do validator votes change over the course of a proposal? Share any interesting voting statistics you find. Examine any voting propositions here (example: Prop 82) as a use case to explore these questions.
