Base Testnet is a blockchain network created by Coinbase, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges. It is a fully-functional blockchain test environment that allows developers to experiment and test their decentralized applications before deploying them on the mainnet. The Base Testnet provides a secure and reliable infrastructure for developers to test their smart contracts, transactions, and other blockchain-related functionalities without worrying about the consequences of deploying on the mainnet.

Gas and fees are critical components of the Ethereum blockchain, and they play a vital role in determining the efficiency and sustainability of the network. Gas is the unit of measurement for the computational work required to execute a transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. Each transaction on the network consumes a certain amount of gas, which is paid for in fees by the sender of the transaction. These fees are paid in ETH and are used to incentivize miners to process the transactions quickly and efficiently.

Gas guzzlers are transactions that consume an unusually high amount of gas, resulting in higher fees and slower processing times. Identifying and analyzing gas guzzlers is essential to understanding the network's health and sustainability. Excessive gas consumption can lead to network congestion and higher fees, which can deter users from using the network.

In conclusion, the Base Testnet is an essential tool for developers to test and experiment with decentralized applications. Gas, fees, and gas guzzlers are important components of the Ethereum blockchain and analyzing them can provide valuable insights into the network's health and sustainability. The dashboard we will create will help identify gas guzzlers and provide insights into the network's performance, enabling users to make informed decisions about their transactions.

The Purpose of the Dashboard: The purpose of the dashboard is to analyze gas guzzlers on the Base Testnet and provide insights into the network's health and sustainability. The dashboard will help identify transactions that consume an unusually high amount of gas and analyze the impact of these transactions on the network's performance.

To create an impressive and dive deep dashboard about gas guzzlers, we will compute several metrics, including:

• Gas usage by transaction type: We will identify the different types of transactions and analyze the gas consumption associated with each type.
• Gas usage by user: We will identify the top gas guzzlers on the network and analyze their behavior to understand why they consume an unusually high amount of gas.
• Gas usage by contract: We will identify the contracts that consume the most gas and analyze their impact on the network's performance.
• Gas price and fees: We will analyze the gas price and fees paid by users and identify the transactions with the highest fees.
• Network congestion: We will analyze the network's congestion levels and identify the periods when the network is most congested.
