Dune

dune.com

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.

Quick highlights

  • 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.
