Dune Spellbooks with Meghan Heintz

This week, we discuss the whole FTX saga -- a timeline for the series of events pertaining to SBF, FTX, Alameda Research, CZ, Binance, and more. Using the FTX saga as our case study, we will go over how to track on-chain activities/flows, balances, and volumes in an open data blockchain environment.

This week, in honor of the ongoing `dex.trades` migration, we will cover the basics of AMM (automated market makers) and offer a starting point on what data analysis we can do with AMM's on-chain data.

"L2s (Arbitrum & Optimism) account for 30-40% of all transactions on Ethereum, but consume only 2% of the total gas..." That is one of the trends mentioned by Tomasz Tungas in his talk at DuneCon regarding The State of Web3 in 2022. This week we explain what Layer 2 is with on-chain data.

This week we will explain what is The Ethereum Merge with on-chain data.
