Method
I’ve used NFT sales and NFT transfer tables to analyze CryptoPunks. CryptoPunks contact address is 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2. I Put this contract address in the NFT address column. In order to get the correct USD price, I tried the Swap table to extract the correct ETH price. I only could extract ETH price since 2020. Before that, it was not possible to estimate Punk’s prices. Also, there isn’t a correct table for NFTs balances. So I used the transfer table to calculate the current balance of users. If you want to see Other dates analyze, you need to log in to the flipside and change the date parameter. The format is YYYY/MM/DD. The current dashboard data is from 2020-05-01.
