Open Analytics Vol. II: Environmental Impact Study(PIXEL)
Sep 30, 2022 - Recently, we analyzed SWEAT - one of the premier projects on NEAR. Do a deep dive into another project on NEAR and analyze its impact, defining metrics for “impact” and displaying them with data. What contributions is your chosen project making to NEAR? You don’t need to choose one of the biggest or most impactful projects - and your research can include qualitative assessment as well. As usual: cite the source for any outside work or explanations that you use. A brief overview of your chosen project will suffice; focus your power on answering the question:“What impact is this project having on NEAR? How much is it contributing, and how do you know?”Grand prize eligibility will also include brief recommendations on how this project could maximize its impact, and how you would track the results of your proposed interventions.
NEAR City Layout
Nov 1, 2022 - How centralized or decentralized is NEAR, really? Choose at least two distinct measures of decentralization that can be explored with on-chain data; clearly define those metrics; and outline how NEAR performs based on those metrics. In your view, is NEAR becoming more centralized or decentralized over time?
The Law Offices of NEAR
Aug 2, 2022 - Provide your best assessment of the number of smart contracts deployed on NEAR and clearly outline your methodology (after all, contract lawyers love clearly specified terms). Visualize the number of new smart contracts deployed over time over a time period of your choosing. What are the top 5 new smart contracts interacted in that period of your choosing?
Open Analytics - SWEAT
Sep 18, 2022 - The SWEAT token has launched, to great fanfare! Give us your best open analysis of SWEAT's launch and the role of SWEAT in the NEAR ecosystem. What impact has SWEAT had on NEAR? What percentage of activity does it make up? What else should NEARians know about SWEAT? As usual: cite the source for any outside work or explanations that you use. No need to provide an overview of SWEAT - you can assume a knowledgeable audience - so concentrate on doing interesting analyses, comparisons, deep dives, and assessments.
Seasons in the City
Oct 18, 2022 - t’s autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. What season is it in the City of NEAR? Pick one of the districts from the NEAR Tournament and review how activity there has changed over the past 90 days. What has changed? What trends can you spot? Is it truly “winter” in your chosen “district” or area (NFTs, DeFi, etc.)?
Tourist Journeys
Oct 25, 2022 - Select one of the key Districts from the NEAR tournament, and compare it to a similar district in another “city” (that is, another Layer 1 blockchain). Look at the past 90 days and visualize the relative progress of these two L1s, using at least 3 metrics of your definition.
