Investment Research

Onchain intelligence for investment teams.

20+ chains. USD-enriched tables. Real-time protocol analytics.

Track whale flows, build DeFi income statements, compare tokenized asset yields, and monitor governance health. All in SQL, all crosschain. Your analysts stop stitching data and start finding alpha.

Quarterly reporting was built for a different market

The assets your team evaluates trade 24/7 on transparent ledgers. Protocol revenue, user growth, liquidity shifts, governance activity -- it's all onchain, updated every block. But most investment workflows still run on fragmented data, manual queries, and reports that are stale before they're published.

Your analysts spend too much time stitching data together from five platforms. They should be spending it finding alpha.

From raw blockchain data to investment-ready intelligence

Tables across 20+ chains with USD pricing, entity labels, and crosschain normalization already applied. Query them directly, or set up agents that alert you when something moves.

Investment-ready tables

Pre-built ez_ tables with decimal adjustments, USD conversions, and entity labels already joined. No raw hex parsing. No building your own pricing layer. Clean SQL that returns investment signals.

Agents that watch your markets

Agents monitor whale movements, track protocol metrics, and ping your team on material changes. Alerts go to Slack, email, or automated briefings on whatever schedule you set.

20+ chains, standardized schemas

Unified crosschain.* views let you compare metrics across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and every major ecosystem without managing separate data pipelines for each.

Built for how investment teams actually work

Six research workflows, each backed by real tables you can query today.

Whale Movements & Exchange Flows

Key signal:

"Exchange deposits spiked 4x in 6 hours — selling pressure incoming?"

  • Native and token transfers with USD values
  • Entity labels: exchanges, funds, protocols, known wallets
  • Exchange deposit/withdrawal net flow signals
  • Crosschain unified transfer views

Protocol Financial Analysis

Key signal:

"TVL up 40% but active users flat — is this real growth or mercenary capital?"

  • TVL as balance sheet proxy (ez_protocol_tvl)
  • DEX volume as fee revenue (ez_dex_swaps)
  • Lending lifecycle: deposits, borrows, liquidations, rates
  • Hourly network stats: tx count, addresses, fees

DEX Trading & Microstructure

Key signal:

"Volume on Base DEXs tripled this week — which protocols are gaining share?"

  • Swap-level data across 15+ chains
  • Volume, unique traders, market share by protocol
  • Whale swap detection with entity enrichment
  • Arbitrage and bot activity flagging

Tokenized Real-World Assets

Key signal:

"Which tokenized treasury product has the best risk-adjusted yield right now?"

  • 65 metrics across 16 asset classes (RWA.xyz data)
  • NAV, APY, yield-to-maturity, holder concentration
  • BlackRock BUIDL, Franklin Templeton, Apollo ACRED
  • Compare products on identical metrics in SQL

Governance & Project Health

Key signal:

"Governance participation dropped 60% — is this project losing its community?"

  • Proposal frequency and voter turnout trends
  • Solana, Cosmos, Axelar, ENS, and Canton coverage
  • Treasury spending patterns as health proxies
  • Signals that precede price action

Crosschain Capital Flows

Key signal:

"$200M bridged to Arbitrum this week — is this the start of a migration?"

  • Bridge activity across 14+ chains
  • Capital migration patterns as leading indicators
  • Correlate bridge inflows with DEX and TVL growth
  • Destination chain adoption before price reflects it

Three queries that show the depth

Exchange flow analysis, protocol income statements, and TVL trends. Standard SQL against clean tables with USD values and entity labels pre-joined.

Exchange net flow analysis

Inflows vs. outflows as a positioning signal

Join transfer tables with dim_labels to classify every large movement by counterparty type. Exchange deposit spikes signal selling pressure. Withdrawal surges signal accumulation. The labels do the classification for you.

-- 30-day exchange net flows for ETH
SELECT
  DATE_TRUNC('day', block_timestamp) AS date,
  SUM(CASE WHEN l.label_type = 'cex'
    AND l.address = t.to_address
    THEN amount_usd ELSE 0 END) AS inflows_usd,
  SUM(CASE WHEN l.label_type = 'cex'
    AND l.address = t.from_address
    THEN amount_usd ELSE 0 END) AS outflows_usd
FROM ethereum.core.ez_native_transfers t
JOIN ethereum.core.dim_labels l
  ON l.address IN (t.from_address, t.to_address)
WHERE block_timestamp >= CURRENT_DATE - 30
GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1
ez_native_transfersez_token_transfersdim_labels

Daily DEX volume by platform

Market share and trader counts per protocol

Every swap across every major DEX, normalized into a single table with platform attribution, token metadata, and USD amounts. Aggregate at any granularity or filter down to individual whale trades.

-- DEX volume by platform, last 30 days
SELECT
  DATE_TRUNC('day', block_timestamp) AS date,
  platform,
  COUNT(*) AS swap_count,
  COUNT(DISTINCT sender) AS unique_traders,
  SUM(amount_in_usd) AS total_volume_usd
FROM ethereum.defi.ez_dex_swaps
WHERE block_timestamp >= CURRENT_DATE - 30
  AND amount_in_usd IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY 1, 2
ORDER BY 1 DESC, 5 DESC
ez_dex_swapsez_protocol_tvlez_lending_borrows

Protocol TVL and lending activity

DeFi income statement components, updated daily

Think of TVL as a balance sheet proxy and lending activity as the revenue line. Liquidation events tell you when a protocol is under stress. Interest rate OHLC data shows yield trends. Put them together and you have a DeFi income statement that updates hourly, not quarterly.

-- Protocol TVL with 7-day trend
SELECT
  platform, blockchain,
  tvl_usd,
  tvl_usd - LAG(tvl_usd, 7) OVER (
    PARTITION BY platform, blockchain
    ORDER BY block_date
  ) AS tvl_change_7d
FROM crosschain.defi.ez_protocol_tvl
WHERE block_date = CURRENT_DATE - 1
ORDER BY tvl_usd DESC
ez_protocol_tvlez_lending_borrowsez_lending_depositsez_lending_liquidations

Agents that watch your portfolio so you don't have to

Set up agents that run your investment queries on a schedule. When something material changes, they ping you on Slack or email. You configure the thresholds; they do the watching.

Whale Flow Alerts

Alerts fire when large holders start accumulating or distributing, when whale-to-exchange transfers spike, or when a known fund opens a position in a token you're watching.

Protocol Health Monitor

Weekly briefings on TVL trends, user growth, lending rates, and governance activity for your portfolio protocols. Flags material changes like TVL drops, liquidation spikes, or participation declines.

RWA Yield Tracker

Daily or weekly updates comparing yields across tokenized treasury and credit products. Alerts when a product's APY changes materially or when holder concentration shifts above your threshold.

Capital Migration Watch

Tracks bridge flows across 14+ chains and flags when a chain starts gaining or losing capital at unusual rates. These shifts tend to show up in bridge data before they show up in price.

The most complete RWA dataset available in SQL

Flipside integrates RWA.xyz data directly into the same SQL environment you use for DeFi and onchain analysis. That means 65 timeseries metrics across 16 asset classes, queryable alongside every other Flipside table. Compare BlackRock BUIDL against Franklin Templeton or Apollo ACRED on identical metrics without switching tools.

Frequently asked questions

What blockchain data is available for investment research?

Flipside covers 20+ chains with pre-built tables for protocol TVL, DEX swaps, lending activity (deposits, borrows, liquidations, interest rates), native and token transfers with USD values, entity labels for counterparty identification, hourly pricing, and crosschain bridge activity. Decimal adjustments and USD conversions come pre-applied, so queries return investment-ready numbers without additional transformation.

Can I track whale movements and exchange flows?

Yes. Join ez_native_transfers or ez_token_transfers (both include USD amounts) with dim_labels to classify each counterparty as an exchange, fund, protocol, or known wallet. From there you can track exchange net flows, whale-to-whale transfers, and accumulation patterns. These tend to be leading indicators for positioning.

What tokenized asset (RWA) data does Flipside offer?

Flipside integrates RWA.xyz data with 65 timeseries metrics across 16 asset classes, all queryable in SQL. You can track NAV, 7-day and 30-day APY, yield-to-maturity, holder concentration, mint/burn patterns, and bridge activity for products like BlackRock BUIDL, Franklin Templeton, and Apollo ACRED. The data lives in the external.gold.rwa_xyz schema alongside all other Flipside tables.

How do I build a DeFi protocol income statement?

Join four table families: ez_protocol_tvl for the balance sheet (TVL over time), ez_dex_swaps for trading fee revenue, ez_lending_borrows and ez_lending_deposits for interest income, and ez_core_metrics_hourly for user growth. The result is a protocol-level income statement that refreshes hourly rather than quarterly.

Does Flipside have governance data for project health scoring?

Yes. Governance voting data is available across Solana (Realms and Tribeca), Cosmos Hub, Axelar, ENS DAO, and Canton. You can track proposal frequency, voter turnout, and participation trends as onchain proxies for project health. Think of it as corporate governance metrics, but updated with every block rather than every quarter.

How does crosschain bridge data help investment research?

Bridge activity tables cover 14+ chains and show where capital is moving before it shows up in price. You can track which chains are gaining or losing capital, which bridge protocols carry the most volume, and whether bridge inflows actually correlate with DEX activity and TVL growth on the destination chain.

Your competitors are already querying this.
