The dashboard is useful for those who want to invest in the project, trade NBA Top Shot, and study the effect of blockchain token price on NFT sales.


Methodology
In this dashboard, we will first provide an overview of the dependent variable, which is NBA Top Shot (TS) sales. This includes analyzing the total number of sales and examining how sales differ depending on the serial number.
Next, we will highlight trends over time by presenting graphs and metrics such as the number of sales, volume of sales, and average price of ADs.
Moving on, we will analyze the independent variable of interest, which is the Flow price. We will explore how the Flow price has changed over time and its correlation with the BTC price, which serves as the market leader.
Afterwards, we will integrate the Flow price data with other relevant metrics to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the Flow price influences the metrics associated with AD sales.
Lastly, we will revisit the impact of the Flow price in a comparative context. Specifically, we will examine how the drop in FLOW price has affected the sales of four sports NFT projects on the Flow platform.
In the conclusion section, we will discuss the analysis conducted throughout the dashboard and highlight the important findings that emerged from the investigation.
What is Flow?
Flow is a blockchain designed to provide fast and low-cost transactions for dapps such as NFT marketplaces and crypto-infused video games without using sharding techniques. Flow was developed by Dapper Labs, the company behind NBA Top Shot, and is now being used for all of its own projects. It is built for collectible and interactive crypto experiences that are quickly growing in prominence, with the potential to generate huge sums of cash and find major mainstream attention.
