The Whales of NEAR
Feb 12, 2023 - Where in the ocean of NEAR do the whales hang out? Examine the top 20 addresses by amount of NEAR held - excluding any custodial or exchange addresses that you can. Can you identify any “power players” or wallets of interest? What behaviors do these whales exhibit?
Orderly Network Dashboard
Apr 10, 2023 - Protocol metrics + deep dive analysis of the Orderly Network
District Deep Dive: Contracts Deployed
Sep 28, 2022 - Building on work from The Law Offices of NEAR , provide an updated view of contracts deployed over time on NEAR. (Hint: the transactions table will help with this). What factors do you think might influence the number of contracts deployed?How might NEAR boost the number of developers and deployments within its ecosystem?You can rely on earlier work - yours and that of others - but clearly reference anyone whose work you use. Similarly, you are free to use GokuStats for inspiration (see the attached image), but the core part of this task is providing your own original insights.
New NEAR Users
Sep 6, 2022 - What actions does a user take when they deposit money into the NEAR ecosystem?
Seasons in the City-Near
Oct 16, 2022 - It’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.)?
Open Analytics Vol. II: Environmental Impact Study
Oct 5, 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.
NEAR Mega Dashboard Architecture
Dec 7, 2022 - The intention of this dashboard is to show a big shotout about the current state of Near Protocol over all his major areas.
HERE wallet staking analysis
Mar 28, 2023 - HERE wallet is a mobile non-custodial wallet for NEAR Protocol with non-blocking staking. The intention of this dashboard is to analyze the staking activity in HERE wallet.
FLOW Speed (redux)
Dec 10, 2022 - Flow is fast, but how fast? 6 months ago, we asked for a comparative analysis on blockchain speed - how has Flow increased its speed in transaction per minute since? Compare Flow and other L1 blockchains in terms of speed: identify the monthly average for transactions per minute, and how that's improved or worsened since the beginning of 2022. What types of events have raised or decreased the blockchain's performance over that time period? Are there bursts of transaction volume or interest on the chain? Compare Flow's speed to at least two other blockchains.
Fourth part of the Journey: The Arts District
Aug 24, 2022 - A thorough analysis on the NFTs found on NEAR.
NEAR - 32. Activity with NEAR Blockchain Projects and NEAR Horizon
Jun 25, 2023 - We are looking for analysts to identify and analyze active projects on the NEAR blockchain. The intention being to gain insights into the current project ecosystem, smart contract interactions and overall recent activity. Determine the total number of active projects on NEAR and specifically identify those on NEAR Horizon, the developer-friendly interface. Define active projects by your own terms and explain your thought process. Identify active NEAR projects and assess recent activity. Determine the total number of active projects on NEAR. Identify and connect those projects specifically operating on NEAR Horizon. Prepare a detailed report with statistical analysis and visualizations.
District Deep Dive: Contracts Deployed
Sep 27, 2022 - Building on work from The Law Offices of NEAR, provide an updated view of contracts deployed over time on NEAR. (Hint: the transactions table will help with this).
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.
Comparative Analysis of Governance Voting and Staking Metrics on NEAR
Jun 15, 2023 - We are seeking a comprehensive analysis comparing the governance voting and staking metrics of the NEAR blockchain with two other prominent blockchains. The analysis should cover a period of the last two years and provide a breakdown of key metrics to determine the level of participation in governance activities and staking on each network.
Spill the (USD)T
Jun 4, 2023 - The what: USDT usage on NEAR. “Why” and “how”? That’s what we’d like you to show us. Your mission is to provide a crisp, compelling narrative about USDT usage on NEAR. Define at least three metrics and analyze them over the past 7, 14, and 30 days. Using your analysis, make a case for what may be causing the developments you’ve identified. Additionally, theorize how market conditions or external research may be impacting USDT adoption, usage, and exchange in the NEAR ecosystem. Provide up to 15 effective, high-impact visualizations to support your case. Link your methodology and any external research in a separate tab on your dashboard.
