NEAR - 10. The Path to Decentralization
Jan 29, 2023 - NEAR has expressed its goals to decentralize in 2023. Simply put: are these efforts working? Create a stylish, refined dashboard that enables viewers to assess both individual validators on NEAR, and validation as a whole (bonus points if you find a way to enable parameters or dropdowns that display different validators). As ever, you are welcome to draw on past/existing work that explores governance on NEAR, as long as you provide credit to your original sources. Ensure your dashboard can answer the question: is NEAR becoming more decentralized, or less? Note: make sure your dashboard can load within a few seconds! Submissions that take a while to load will not score as highly.
Solana - 6. NFT Lendooors on Solana
Feb 18, 2023 - The Famous Fox Federation just released their new NFT lending program called Citrus. See https://twitter.com/FamousFoxFed/status/1623395701366394882?s=20&t=0VbGloGM8gGssZkI2j9x7A for the announcement and more details. The NFT lending space on Solana has been picking up and gained popularity over time as a way to essentially gain leverage on NFTs as a borrower and gain yield on SOL as a lender. Compare Key Performance Indicators between the major NFT lending protocols out there (Citrus, Sharky, Frakt, Yawww). Who is gaining the most market share? Why would a user use one protocol over the other? What NFTs are most popular on each platform? Due to the rise in the price of SOL in January, there has been more pressure applied to borrowers to pay back their loans. Some lenders have been forced to take in NFTs that are now priced in SOL lower than their set loan price. Is there a noticeable increase in default rate over the past month on NFT loans? Which protocol has had the most defaults, and which NFTs have caused the most defaults? Is there evidence that leverage is unwinding in the market right now?

How has liquidity flowed through Solana defi? What programs seemed to be most affected by the replacement of Serum? Does it seem like defi on Solana is becoming more decentralized?

Adding to the Margin with MarginFi
Mar 3, 2023 - MarginFi just launched to mainnet as a lending foundation for Solana. After the FTX collapse, Solana defi has been somewhat nonexistent outside of dex swaps. MarginFi is the first new product in the wave of "Defi 2.0" on Solana. Create a dashboard that tracks key KPI's for MarginFi. How has adoption been so far and what pools have been most popular? What type of user has experimented with MarginFi so far? What other programs have users been exposed to (Solend, Jet etc) that are now using MarginFi? What do borrowers do with their new found capital after using MarginFi? Are there signs of early growth of this new wave of Solana defi?
NEAR - 9. Developer Activity
Jan 23, 2023 - With Electric Capital’s release of its annual report on developer activity, the topic of “developers” is a hot topic across crypto.

How this has changed over time? Feel free to reference (and cite) the Electric Capital report to provide background, but the vast majority of your dashboard should be original work that provides a supplemental view to that report.

Axelar - 3. Axelar Transfer Volume Dashboard
Feb 15, 2023 - Background: With the launch of Squid, Axelar’s General Message Passing functionality has entered the spotlight. The future is now – safe, secure cross-chain contract calls with tokens, enabling multi-step swaps with the click of a single button. However, GMP transfer volumes are not currently captured in Axelar’s token transfer volume reporting. Task: Create a dashboard that mirrors the KPIs of the main landing page of axelarscan.io; however, provide an additional data point for Total Token Transfers (bridged token transfer volume + token transfer volume via GMP). In addition to this metric, your dashboard should provide the following: Total Transactions Subsections: Assets Transfers vs. GMP calls Total Token Transfers (above) Subsections: Assets Transfer Volume vs. GMP Volume % of token transfer volume that is GMP-based in last 30, 60, 90 days Cumulative Volume Growth Compare Axelar Bridge growth vs. GMP growth
