New Year, New LUNA?
Jan 6, 2023 - The holidays and New Year are often chaotic in the crypto and DEFI space, as users make a spree of new transactions and wallets as they receive (and give) some cash and coins as holiday gifts. Has this flurry of winter activity impacted the Terra ecosystem? Are users creating new wallets or buying tokens with their newfound holiday wealth? Are they staking all those new tokens once they get them? Or are they selling tokens to pay for their own gifts and holiday travel?
Terra Governance Grind
Jan 21, 2023 - As Terra 2.0 has expanded, we’ve seen a number of governance proposals come to light. Analyze the voting activity on the most recent 5 proposals. Can you identify any trends or patterns in voting? Bonus: Dig up and compare the text of 2 governance proposals. What do you think of these proposals? What would have made them stronger or likelier to gather more votes? Do you have any improvements to recommend?
Terradash Part 1: Activity
Dec 5, 2022 - We’re working with Terra to rebuild the great Terradash, a dazzling dashboard full of analytic insights providing an overview of the entire Terra ecosystem— and we need your help! We’ll be building out this new and improved Terradash in parts. First up — examine activity on Terra, both in terms of transactions and wallets.
LUNC Head
Oct 6, 2022 - What's going on with LUNC, aka LUNA Classic? Is there any unusual activity? Major whales buying, selling, or burning? What dApps are people using? Tell us the story of LUNC using on-chain data. Include at least three visualizations in your analysis.
Back to Basics: Account Activity (Terra)
Jan 26, 2023 - The question of “active wallets” faces every ecosystem. Let’s investigate this question for Terra — and go beyond the “one transaction in 30 days” approach! Define what an active, high quality user looks like and how it can be measured. Assess how many active users exist on Terra, according to your definition. Additionally, provide a few brief, specific ideas to attract additional users, as well as an assessment of what it would cost to implement these ideas. What is the acquisition cost for a high-value user, according to your recommendations?
The Eclipse Score (Terra)
Feb 5, 2023 - Invent an easy-to use "Eclipse Score", based on at least 3 metrics, to rank validators who are not effectively representing their delegators via voting. (For example: if you participate in only 5% of votes but are in the top 5% of validators by LUNA delegated, you should have a terrible Eclipse Score!) Provide a table and at least 1 visual that displays validators according to your Eclipse Score, e.g. a bubble chart with LUNA Delegated vs. Votes Attended. Additionally, analyze the top 5 best and top 5 worst validators according to your Eclipse score.
Light as a Feather (Terra Station Announcement)
Jan 20, 2023 - The announcement of the Station has generated hype in the Terra community. Has this type translated to an increase in activity? Define and visualize at least 2 metrics for ecosystem activity and analyze them in the week before and after the Station. Did the launch have any measurable impact? Are there other factors that might be in play affecting the metrics you’ve chosen?
LUNA Price Run Investigation (Terra)
Jan 12, 2023 - Beginning in the wee hours of Monday, January 9 (ET), the price of LUNA skyrocketed, from $1.37 to a high of nearly $2 before settling down at roughly $1.60. Identify some of the major reasons for this recent upshot in price, and back up your assertions with data. Why did the price jump so suddenly on Monday night? Will prices remain at, or above, current marks in the coming weeks or will it return to at or near $1? Why?
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.
