    Access Protocol

    Dashboard exploring ACS protocol performance

    Introduction

    access

    One subscription. Multiple platforms.

    Access Protocol introduces a groundbreaking platform that reshapes the dynamics between content creators and consumers, addressing the limitations of current monetization models. The platform's innovative approach aims to bridge the gap between creator value capture and consumer accessibility. Recognizing the challenges faced by content creators reliant on traditional revenue models, Access Protocol simplifies the monetization process for creators while enhancing direct support from consumers.

    At its core, the platform seeks to harmonize recurring fees for premium creators while minimizing friction for consumers during sign-up. This distinctive model intends to broaden content distribution, facilitate wider access, and contribute to a more informed society. Access Protocol's technological framework prioritizes scalability and mainstream adoption, utilizing the robust infrastructure of Solana with plans for deployment on Starknet. In essence, Access Protocol stands as a transformative force in digital content monetization, fostering a symbiotic relationship between creators and consumers through blockchain technology.

      4. Token volume and value change in swap pools
    1. User activity
      1. There are a whopping 168k unique users consuming content from creators.
      2. User activity spiked mid july with a flood of new users but it settled down with low but steady recuring user activity.
      3. Protocol started with a BANG. Locking over 900M in one day in mid Feb 2023.
    2. Subscription metrics
      1. A total of over 1.6 B tokens are curretly locked in creators pools
      2. Total subs are over 250k.
      3. Cumulative total of the 2% fee collected with each lock to burn is about to hit 50M.
      4. User loyalty
        1. Over 152k users have permanently subscribed to one creator
        2. majority of the subscribers are into for the long run, being loyal to the creators they follow.
    3. Creator activty
      1. There are 56 creators listed on the app but a total of 59 pools created by the program
      2. The top 2 creators by total locked acs are fighting head to head for the top position.
      3. Over 84% of the NFTs minted, are from collection GeckoCasso #2
      4. Coin Geco (id:D9C7Yf5euSjpQ8Wo8XwJP7CWymm54oomeREkogiNf4yS) also has the largest number of permanent subcsribers, by a very large margin wrt to others at over 100k.
    4. ACS Token
      1. The token has seen a harsh (market) winter(wrt to its price) but after establiing a strong support it seems to make its way up.
      2. Swaps
        1. Equal amounts of swaps from and to are seen for the token
        2. With the increasing swap volume we ideally should see a relative value increase but that is not the case. With market price holding it down, value of the token in swap pool does not see proportional increase with increase in volume.

    Incosistencies in data

    I have observed the following inconsistencies while working on this dashboard. I am still learning ins and out of blockchain data anlytics. Please review and let me know if I have missed something or if these really are a cause for concern.

    1. For some of the creator pools, the current ACS balance returned by the query does not match the actual balance on SolScan (or the protocol app). Its close for most of the creators except for the top sub'ed one.
      1. Query logic : Current balance in pool = Total_locked - total_unlocked
      2. Eg: for creator D9C7Yf5euSjpQ8Wo8XwJP7CWymm54oomeREkogiNf4yS, it is 383423116 as per query, but 621540411 on solscan and the app.
      3. Theory: There was either a direct transfer to that pool without the program_id OR one or more entires are missing from the events table.
    2. In daily staked acs by pool, some pools show negative, i.e, users are unlocking more than they locked in.
      1. Therory: the query (or the table) is missing some lock events.
    3. In chart 2023/03 - Daily Locked ACS change, we see -19M for March 23. We don't see the same in protocol stats in the app but its a positive change.
      1. After looking through all the creator metrics, i found 2 creators where around 10 M ACS is being unlocked on that day but no corressponding locking large enough to make the effective change positive. Creators with close to 10M drop on the day: D3AJxB7gZr7CJ313o5amZqpoqycyLnRpVJt2QzUPGKvQ, 9whpd5rqvxnW3tFjCpT3tsSV4p3kt4hSXLLwShY1iSfs.
      2. Theory: The app chart missed these 2 big unlocking for that day.
    4. Creators count on this dashbord shows 59 but 56 on app's. Theory: Apps only count creators with min staked amount above a particular threshold
