    Solana is a blockchain platform designed to host decentralized, scalable applications. Founded in 2017, it is an open-source project currently run by Solana Foundation based in Geneva, while the blockchain was built by San Francisco-based Solana Labs

    Solana is much faster in terms of the number of transactions it can process and has significantly lower transaction fees than rival blockchains like Ethereum. The cryptocurrency that runs on the Solana blockchain—also named Solana (SOLUSD) and using the ticker symbol SOL—soared almost 12,000% in 2021 and at one point had a market capitalization of over $66 billion, making it the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by this measure at the time.

    Despite its popularity, SOL did not escape the cryptocurrency bloodbath of 2022. By Oct. 3, 2022, SOL had dropped to about $11.71 billion in market capitalization. It also fell to ninth place in market capitalization.3 Learn more about Solana and what makes it unique among thousands of imitators.

    Degen Ape Academy

    The (DAA) visually describes a group of apes exhibiting degenerate behavior within the Degenivers, a Web 3 community for Degen Apes. Headed by the pseudonym, Monoliff, DAA operates as a DAO, and it's the first collection to debut NFT voting on the Solana network.

    On September 28, 2021, barely over a month after minting, DAA announced the election of a 15-members Student Council to represent the entire DAO for 369 days. These were elected using the academy's NFgTs. According to DAA, NFgTs are non-fungible "Governance Tokens –– which are minted to every member of the DAOO."

    Methodology

    Analyzed and tracked the Degenerate Ape Academy collection by using the solana.nft.dim_nft_metadata table, specifically the token_name as Degen Apes, and joined with the contract_address to the solana.nft.fact_nft_sales table to look at its activity over time.

    In addition, explore the purchasers who have bought this collection as well.

    Lastly, we also added two fields named period and start_to_date. The first field is used for changing the movement of charts created on this dashboard, and it has three choices that are comprised of month , week , and day. Another field is start_to_date, which is used to identify the date to pull data from this collection's activity.
