Who is not yet using Pikespeak?
Why?
Because blockchain is not designed for traditional analytics tools:
- Accessing usable data can be complex, making it hard to explore opportunities
- Extracting data rapidly, at-scale, and at-cost is a nontrivial challenge and requires interpretation based on the smart contracts deployed
In simple terms, Pikespeak aims at:
- Indexing, storing and transforming on-chain data into human-readable tables
- Empowering users with powerful analytics
What for?
It depends on the problem/question you need to solve/answer. Here are a few tangible examples (non-exhaustive):
- DeFi users
- What’s the value and breakdown of my portfolio?
- What’s my P/L over a specific period of time?
- The taxman (ex: IRS) is asking for logs of my trades and blockchain activity for the last fiscal year, how can I provide that information?
- I am interested in holding a token, but I would like to understand a few things; what’s the circulating supply? Who’s holding the token (rich list)? How do large holders behave? Have they been selling recently? How long have they been holding the token? Etc.

Data is great, stories are better
The cost to access on-data data is marginal compared to traditional and private markets, such as Stock Exchanges and customer insights (ex: panels) for a specific industry. That creates a unique opportunity for burgeoning journalists, investigators or any type of citizen journalism to emerge. The quality and coverage of the FTX debacle on Twitter was a great illustration of that trend.
Moreover, the NEARWEEK Report-to-Earn model is an innovative way to incentivise citizen journalism and push people to participate in the News content creation process.
Below is a list of events that could potentially lead to interesting and insightful stories. We would like to encourage the LNC community to leverage Pikespeak to tell great stories.
- June 23rd, 2022 – 39M $NEAR tokens were unstaked from validators
- March 4th, 5th and 6th, 2023 – Near Social (social.near) has had a significant inflow of new users
- March 8th, 2023 – The Multi Sender (multisender.app.near) contract (send multiple transfers in one simple transaction) sent $1.13M to multiple addresses, its largest transaction since creation
