Try Quests to earn NEARNEAR 12-Whales of NEAR
Where in the ocean of NEAR do the whales hang out? Examine the top 20 addresses by amount of NEAR held - excluding any custodial or exchange addresses that you can. Can you identify any “power players” or wallets of interest? What behaviors do these whales exhibit?
Introduction
Near Protocol is a DApp platform and Ethereum competitor that places a premium on the developer and user convenience.
Near Protocol is a decentralized application (DApp) platform that focuses on usability among developers and users. As a competitor of Ethereum, NearProtocol is also smart-contract capable and a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain.
Near uses sharding technology to achieve scalability, a core aspect discussed later. The native token, NEAR, is used for transaction fees and storage on the Near crypto platform. Tokens can also be used for staking by NEAR tokenholders who wish to become transaction validators and help achieve network consensus. Near was built by the NeaCollective and conceptualized as a community-run cloud computing platform designed to host decentralized applications. It was also built to be both developer and user-friendly, hence having features such as account names that are human-readable (instead of cryptographic wallet addresses).
Methodology
Greetings ! In this dashboard we are going to analyze and find top 20 NEAR whales with most amount of NEAR holding and we are going to exclude any custodial or exchange addresses that we can .
The main focus of this dashboard will be top 20 whales activity and we will see what behavior they exhibit .
We will examine below topics and dig in :
1- Top 20 whales
2- Distribution of NEAR holding by wallets
3- What is favorite actions of top 20 whales
4- Powerfull and Active whales ( who's doing most activity ?)
4- Whales favorite projects
5- Whales vs Regular users
6-Staking actions by whales
Summary and Conclusion
According to all charts and data we saw in this dashboard we come to this conclusion :
We can see this wallet a778de7fc42034af1c85cac901fd40392dfc1cc69c3a688ea149112f57b0063e got most of NEAR token in his/her wallet with total 21.4M NEAR right now.
And then this wallets c6d39aa078dbcba02800d1251194d33dbea2122d671435ac1c6ed5ffae383c03 and 03793fb37ffb46533e9b8ab6b9c7a1ebdd6d84f6ebc151b8f60ec1754bbcada6 are 2nd and 3rd wallet with most of holding NEAR token .
If we look at charts about distribution of NEAR holding by wallets we can see ( i excluded wallets that holding less than 1 NEAR ) almost 74k wallets holding between [1-2) NEAR token in their wallet and then almost 60k users holding between [2-10) NEAR token and interesting thing is almost 31k wallets holding more than 100 NEAR token in their wallets which is more than wallets that holding between [50-100) NEAR !
According to charts about whales actions & power players vs regular users actions we can saw :
Since september 2022 Dapps and CEXs are most favorite destination for top 20 whales for interaction while for regular users Dapps and Defis are most fovorite destinations for interactions .
Interesting thing is since September 2022 interactions with Dapps got increased significantly by both whales and regular users .
This whale 5c33c6218d47e00ef229f60da78d0897e1ee9665312550b8afd5f9c7bc6957d2 is a power player and interacted with NEAR ecosystem more than any whale which we can see he/she submitted 189k transactions since 2022 he/she did by far more transactions than any whale !
And then this whale ccb91e1db61e8d7e1d4ae3e043001140132959a86ee35a548b6563a46284a6ea did most interaction with NEAR ecosystem with total 52.8k transactions since 2022 .
We can see sweat is most favorite project for whales to interact with which at November 2022 total 4.86k interaction submitted with this project by top 20 whales ! .
And also we can see sweat and nearcrowd is most favorite projects that regular users interacting with .
The whale with most of NEAR spent for staking actions is c6d39aa078dbcba02800d1251194d33dbea2122d671435ac1c6ed5ffae383c03 which spent 20.68M NEAR token on staking actions which stands by far in first place and interesting thing is he/she staked all of this amount at November 2022 !.
Result & Observations
Base on above charts we can see a778de7fc42034af1c85cac901fd40392dfc1cc69c3a688ea149112f57b0063e got most of NEAR token is his/her wallet with total 21.4M NEAR .
And then c6d39aa078dbcba02800d1251194d33dbea2122d671435ac1c6ed5ffae383c03 and 03793fb37ffb46533e9b8ab6b9c7a1ebdd6d84f6ebc151b8f60ec1754bbcada6 are 2nd and 3rd wallet with most of holding NEAR token .
If we look at charts about distribution of NEAR holding by wallets we can see ( i excluded wallets that holding less than 1 NEAR ) almost 74k wallets holding between [1-2) NEAR token in their wallet and then almost 60k users holding between [2-10) NEAR token and interesting thing is almost 31k wallets holding more than 100 NEAR token in their wallets which is more than wallets that holding between [50-100) NEAR !
Result & Observations
According to above charts about whales actions & power players vs regular users actions we can see :
Since september 2022 Dapps and CEXs are most favorite destination for top 20 whales for interaction while for regular users Dapps and Defis are most fovorite destinations for interactions .

This whale 5c33c6218d47e00ef229f60da78d0897e1ee9665312550b8afd5f9c7bc6957d2 is a power player and interacted with NEAR ecosystem more than any whale which we can see he/she submitted 189k transactions since 2022 he/she did by far more transactions than any whale !
And then this whale ccb91e1db61e8d7e1d4ae3e043001140132959a86ee35a548b6563a46284a6ea did most interaction with NEAR ecosystem with total 52.8k transactions since 2022 .
We can see sweat is most favorite project for whales to interact with which at November 2022 total 4.86k interaction submitted with this project by top 20 whales ! .
And also we can see sweat and nearcrowd is most favorite projects that regular users interacting with .
Result & Observations
According to charts we saw in Staking part we can see very hight amount of NEAR that whales spending to Stake compare to lowe amount for unstaking .
At November 2022 total 21.68M NEAR token staked by top 20 whales which we never seen anything like this before by top 20 whales and then at next month December 2022 total 10.15M NEAR token staked by these whales .
We can see this whale 68f5bab7f593e6031632570e61e27165247ef7c971285a441820d52414641937 did more staking actions than other top 20 whales and spent 4.8M NEAR token on staking actions so far .
The whale with most of NEAR spent for staking actions is c6d39aa078dbcba02800d1251194d33dbea2122d671435ac1c6ed5ffae383c03 which spent 20.68M NEAR token on staking actions which stands by far in first place and interesting thing is he/she staked all of this amount at November 2022 !.
