District Deep Dive: Contracts Deployed

Method⚡
For solving the questions above, ideep dived into NEAR contract deploying and analyzed what did developers do recently. I used ==NEAR== database provided by Flipsidecrypto for gathering the data that i needed. I used these tables to do the analytics: ==“near.core.fact_actions_events”==,
==“near.core.fact_actions_events_function_call”== and ==“near.core.fact_transactions”==.
Also for finding new deployed smart contracts i used action_name = 'DeployContract'
from
==“near.core.fact_actions_events”== table and method_name = 'new'
from ==“near.core.fact_actions_events_function_call”== table.
All the analytics and charts that i provided and you are going to see are since July 2022 (2022-07-01) until now Sep 28th (2022-09-28) almost 3 months
Introduction🚩
What is NEAR Protocol?
NEAR Protocol is a public Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that aims to bring DeFi to the masses with low transfer fees and fast transactions. NEAR competes with Avalanche, Solana, Cardano, Algorand, the new version of Ethereum, and other PoS networks.

What is NEAR Protocol Contract Deploying?
Deploying a contract means that it is uploaded and stored in the NEAR blockchain. Once deployed, the contract can be called in the NEAR VM like a script, served by Nodes on the NEAR blockchain. Anyone connected to the network can see and interact with the code.

Findings👀
- In past 3 months, 1341 new smart contracts deployed and almost 10K contracts deployed since the beginning of the year (past 3 months deployed contracts formed 13% of all deployed contracts)
- Aug 5th had the highest number of deployed contracts since July with 42 contracts
- Back then when August began, suddenly number of daily deployed contracts rised dramatically
- In the beginning of August, number of deployed contracts rised almost 390% in just 5 days
Findings👀
- August did very better than 2 other months and 42.3% of deployed contracts in past 3 months were for August
- September and July have almost the same number of new contracts
- As we see in the left bar chart, past 3 months didnt do very well comparing to other months and forming just 13% of the whole year new contracts so far
- As time passes, the number of contracts decreases
- January had the highest number of new contracts since the beginning of the year and the interesting part is that past 3 months new contracts together cant reach January new contracts
Findings👀
- In past 3 months, ==token.sweat== contract recorded 4.07M total transactions just by itself
- Second popular contract by number of transactions was ==tge-lockup.sweat== and recorded 1.25M total transactions
- As we see in the daily pie chart, after Sep 13th suddenly ==token.sweat== and ==tge-lockup.sweat== transactions peaked dramatically and their highest number of transactions was on Sep 14th and after that their stats started to drop slowly
- Again ==token.sweat== and ==tge-lockup.sweat== had the highest amount of spent fees in past 3 months
- Number of transactions is directly related to amount of spent fees
- These 2 contracts had the highest amount of spent fees on Sep 13th
- ==token.sweat== transactions is almost 3 times bigger than the second contract ==(tge-lockup.sweat)== in top 5 contracts
Conclusion💡
- Since July 1341 contracts deployed on NEAR
- August was the best month in past 3 months
- The peak of deployed contracts in past 3 months was on Aug 5th
- Last 3 months were not so good for NEAR and deploying contracts on it and developers did really weak comparing to rest of the year
- ==token.sweat== and ==tge-lockup.sweat== were popular contracts on NEAR in last 3 months
- These 2 contracts did pretty well after Sep 13th
