Identify at least 3 developing trends or events that could have a large impact on Ethereum between now and the end of this year. Back up your assertions with data and visualizations.
Flash Bounty: Post Merge Behavior
Sep 25, 2022 - The merge has occurred. How have users responded in days that followed? Analyze any notable trends or outliers you can see since ETH switched to POS. Compare this to user behavior in the days and weeks leading up. What major changes can you see?
Tornado Cash Addresses
Aug 10, 2022 - Which of the Tornado Cash addresses received the most # of transactions in the last month, quarter, year Which addresses received the most transaction volume (worth) in the last month, quarter, year Over all the addresses, group the transactions into buckets by value. How many tx in the 0.01-0.1 ETH range went to Tornado? How many in the 0.1-1ETH range? How many in the 1-10ETH range? How many in the 10-100 ETH range? How many above 100 ETH?
BendDAO Metrics
Sep 6, 2022 - Q1. Analyze deposits and withdrawals into BendDAO over the past month. Provide metrics such as total ETH volume and unique wallets, and explain any interesting findings
Optimism NFT Purchasing Behavior
Oct 19, 2022 - Show the distribution of all NFT sales on Optimism by price. What percentage of all sales have been above .01 ETH? Above .1 ETH? 1 ETH? Do you think that there is a limit to how high a floor for a NFT collection on Optimism can reach compared to on Ethereum?
Miners Moving?

User Behavior (redux)
Oct 24, 2022 - How is user behavior different on Optimism compared to L1? Specifically, create a comparison between swaps and transactions on ETH mainnet vs Optimism, looking for things like daily swap volume, daily active users, and average volume swapped (use a single DEX for your comparison, either Uniswap or Sushiswap). L2 is far cheaper, but by how much? What are the average fees for a swap on Optimism compared to ETH Mainnet?
ETH Merge: Actually Good?
Sep 29, 2022 - Demonstrate whether the Merge had positive or negative effects on the network. Include least three queries and visualizations in your submission.

Jun 9, 2022 - Analyze the Ethereum profile of those who minted during the first hour after launch. How many of them moved the minimum .1 ETH into their minting wallet vs. already had at least .1 ETH in that wallet? How many of them have been active in NFT purchases over the past six months? Can you construct a “typical minter” profile/profiles based on their wallet behavior?
