Dune
Community‑driven onchain data platform for SQL‑based dashboards, APIs and real‑time data across 100+ blockchains. Uses a usage‑based credit system (Free, Analyst, Plus, Enterprise) where query compute and API usage consume credits. CSV downloads are limited to higher‑tier plans (Plus / legacy Premium) and private data uploads require a premium‑tier plan.

Key features
- Web-based onchain analytics studio to query decoded blockchain data with SQL and build interactive dashboards across EVM and non‑EVM chains.
- Analytics Hub surfaces include a query editor, visualization builder, dashboards, Dune AI, upload-data flows, search and alerts so analysts can go from raw onchain tables to shareable insights in one place.
- Dashboards support multiple visualization types plus markdown/text widgets where you can embed images or GIFs, lay out tiles, and add widgets directly from the query editor.
- Alerts run on scheduled queries and can deliver notifications by email or via webhooks (including Slack) whenever the query executes, making it easier to monitor custom onchain conditions.
- Upload Data lets you import CSV files into Dune, query them like any other table, and optionally keep uploads private on premium plans; updates can be pushed via the API.
- Analytics APIs expose the same datasets that power dashboards over REST, letting you execute saved queries, fetch results as JSON or CSV, and integrate via Trino/dbt connectors or other tools.
- Data export options include CSV downloads from the web app on higher tiers and JSON/CSV results over the API for all plans, with plan‑dependent rate limits and result size caps.
- Dune uses a usage‑based credit system with Free, Analyst, Plus and Enterprise plans, each with its own monthly credit allotment and per‑100‑credit pricing, plus controls like global query cost caps and extra‑credit limits.
- Teams on Dune provide shared queries and dashboards, role‑based access (viewer, editor, admin) and shared credit usage so organizations can collaborate on the same onchain analytics assets.
- Sim by Dune adds separate real‑time APIs optimized for wallets, agents and apps, providing multichain balances, transactions and subscriptions on top of the core analytics platform.
- Educational resources like the Dune 101 YouTube series and the Content Hub blog walk users through search, discovery, writing queries, using Dune AI and the API, making the platform accessible even to SQL beginners.
- Dune positions itself as an onchain data platform with Analytics Hub, APIs & Connectors and Datashare products, plus enterprise offerings for teams that want Dune data integrated into warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery or Databricks.

Curation & Accuracy
This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).
Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
