FLOW Speed (redux)
Dec 10, 2022 - Flow is fast, but how fast? 6 months ago, we asked for a comparative analysis on blockchain speed - how has Flow increased its speed in transaction per minute since? Compare Flow and other L1 blockchains in terms of speed: identify the monthly average for transactions per minute, and how that's improved or worsened since the beginning of 2022. What types of events have raised or decreased the blockchain's performance over that time period? Are there bursts of transaction volume or interest on the chain? Compare Flow's speed to at least two other blockchains.
World Cup of Bounties( Flipside's World Cup Kick Off: Gas Guzzlers )
Nov 16, 2022 - Welcome to Flipside's World Cup of Bounties. To celebrate the arrival of the FIFA World Cup, we'll be holding a tournament to determine the top bounty hunters in the world across several blockchains, projects, and more. This year's theme is cross-chain comparisons. To qualify for this tournament, create a gas tracking dashboard that looks at gas usage by a chain over the last couple of months. Include Ethereum, Solana, Algorand, Flow, NEAR, Optimism and Osmosis, and add any other chain you think is worth noting. Breakout the following metrics by a chain in the dashboard Total amount USD of gas spent on the chain in the last 30 days. Average cost of gas in USD per $1,000,000 of liquidity transferred on each chain 30 days Average block gas price hourly and daily The top 10 addresses on each chain that spend the most on gas in the past month Daily amount spent on gas by chain tracked over the last 30 days Chart gas spend to network token price Add any other metrics you think would be useful for someone to understand the different costs of gas by chain to help your dashboard standout. Just like the real thing, only 32 entrants can advance to the tournament stage of the World Cup of Bounties — and receive payment for this bounty. Only the most stellar dashboards submitted will make it to the next round, so get creative with your analysis to stand out ! NOTE: Tournament participants can compete as individuals or as teams. Teams should only submit one dashboard per round and are responsible for distributing payment amongst themselves.
Polygon Block Performance
Jul 23, 2022 - What is the average time between blocks on Polygon? What was the maximum and minimum recorded time between two blocks? How many transactions are done in a block on average? How do these numbers compare to L1 such as Flow or Solana, or other L2 such as Arbitrum or Optimism?
Flow vs Other L1s Pt (II)
Jul 19, 2022 - How does Flow compare to other L1s in terms of user retention? Is a user who made a transaction previously likely to make another transaction a week or a month later? Compare and contrast this type of activity vs other L1s like Solana and Ethereum.
FLOW's Path To Decentralization
Nov 12, 2022 - Flow is becoming more permissionless! Flow’s long-term vision is to optimize for security and scalability and move toward decentralization over time. With the release of permissionless contract deployment and new nodes for staking, build an analysis around the state of staking on Flow. Display the progress toward decentralization, answering questions like (but not limited to): how much total $FLOW is staked? How much $FLOW is staked/unstaked per day? How many unique stakers there are? What is the amount of $FLOW staked vs. $FLOW circulating?
RaceDay NFTs
Oct 22, 2022 - How does Speedway Motorsports RaceDay NFTs stack up to sports NFT collections in the FLOW ecosystem? What other projects are RaceDay fans buying?
FLOW Usage During the NBA Playoffs
Jul 11, 2022 - Q19. Analyze the NBA Conference Finals (May 17th- May 29th) and determine whether it had an impact on NBA Top Shot's volume. Did the Warriors, Celtics, Mavericks, or Heat see higher sales volume?
Flow Bounties When Do Flow Transactions Fail? (Part II)
Jun 7, 2022 - Building off last week's question investigating when transactions fail on Flow, what addresses and contracts are causing the majority of failures? What types of activities and events are these addresses doing that are spamming the network? What types of arbitrage opportunities are they seeking and how profitable are these efforts? Compare these transaction failures to the botting issue that Solana has bene facing causing outages. How do they compare and how could Flow attempt to mitigate these issues?
