Flipside's World Cup Kick Off: Gas Guzzlers
Nov 12, 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

Comparing NEAR and Solana: The Role of Gaming in Their Ecosystems
Aug 10, 2024 - In my research on Web3 gaming's contribution to the Solana ecosystem, I developed a set of metrics to gauge the impact of gamers on the broader ecosystem, resulting in a set of standardized facts. This dashboard aims to extend that analysis to the NEAR ecosystem. The insights gained from studying Solana's ecosystem provide valuable lessons that can be applied to other blockchain networks. This dashboard begins with a focused approach, concentrating on the first principle of how Web3 gaming can support an ecosystem: through fees and staking, which I refer to as infrastructure support.
NEAR - 10. The Path to Decentralization
Jan 29, 2023 - NEAR has expressed its goals to decentralize in 2023. Simply put: are these efforts working? Create a stylish, refined dashboard that enables viewers to assess both individual validators on NEAR, and validation as a whole (bonus points if you find a way to enable parameters or dropdowns that display different validators). As ever, you are welcome to draw on past/existing work that explores governance on NEAR, as long as you provide credit to your original sources. Ensure your dashboard can answer the question: is NEAR becoming more decentralized, or less? Note: make sure your dashboard can load within a few seconds! Submissions that take a while to load will not score as highly.
