We’re excited to announce that NEAR Protocol, the highly scalable, developer-friendly blockchain, is now fully integrated into Dune!
“Dune’s integration with NEAR provides developers and analysts with comprehensive access to NEAR’s novel sharding architecture. This enables precise tracking of DeFi, NFT activity, and cross-chain transactions, offering deeper insights into one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in Web3." — Fredrik Haga, Co-Founder & CEO of Dune.
Why NEAR Protocol?
NEAR Protocol is designed for high performance and usability. With its Nightshade sharding technology, NEAR achieves unparalleled scalability, enabling high throughput at low cost.
With NEAR now live on Dune, you can:
- Track transaction volumes and gas fees across NEAR’s sharded network.
- Monitor performance and activity on popular dApps, DeFi protocols, and NFT platforms.
- Explore the use of NEAR's Rainbow Bridge, which allows asset transfers between NEAR and Ethereum.
"The NEAR Protocol integration with Dune empowers the NEAR community with practical tools to explore and analyze data across the wide range of activities in the ecosystem. With 30+ million monthly active accounts from consumer apps to DeFi and cross-chain activity on NEAR, robust on-chain data is key for driving growth for all entrepreneurs and enabling transparency tooling for communities in the ecosystem." —Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder of NEAR Protocol.
Those 30+ million monthly active accounts on NEAR represent a 12.5x increase over the past year, with a 4.5x increase in daily active accounts to on average 3+ million, and a 5x increase in daily transactions to 7+ million. NEAR is the top L1 by user retention (2x above average) because of real users using consumer apps—HOT wallet, launched on NEAR, has consistently been the top dApp by daily use in Web3, with Cosmose consistently growing to be biggest by monthly active users.
NEAR has championed the Chain Abstraction movement, and has over 40 teams building with NEAR's Chain Signatures, which enable accounts to to sign and execute transactions across many blockchain protocols. NEAR has also begun building a User-Owned AI ecosystem, with over 30 teams collaborating.
Start Exploring NEAR Data Now
Accessing NEAR data on Dune is just as easy as with any other blockchain. You can browse pre-built dashboards created by the community or build your own to gain deeper insights into NEAR’s high-performance network:
Users can now also use Dune API to directly convert any query into a flexible API endpoint.
What’s next?
Dune is on its mission to integrate 100 blockchains by the end of 2024. We are continuously scouting for additional blockchains to create the ultimate data hub for all your on-chain data needs.
If you believe there's a blockchain that deserves to be part of our platform, we invite you to submit your proposals through our Data Request list here. Or, use Dune Catalyst to integrate your blockchain and make it discoverable on Dune!
