$AXL Token Recap
Axelar
Axelar is a permisionless network and gateway that enables you to build secure cross-chain applications. Satellite is a web app built on top of the Axelar network. Satellite, and other bridges built on Axelar, cryptocurrency holders can transfer their assets from any connected chain, to any connected chain. This opens up new possibilities for ways to use their cryptocurrencies, without swapping them for other tokens.
Osmosis
Osmosis is a proof of stake blockchain that serves as an automated market maker (AMM) protocol for the Cosmos ecosystem. AMMs are typically pools of digital assets managed by a smart contract used to enable decentralized trading. The liquidity pools and smart contracts replace the order book system; liquidity providers lock their assets into the pool and earn fees when people trade in these pools.

Method
-
we will look at the swapping, holding, and AXL liquidity over time and also in the last 30 days.

I extract the satellite bridge data using axelar.core.fact_transfers table.
-
I use osmosis.core.dim_prices to extract the assets price data.

hold time: I used two approaches, first one is to extract all buy and sell for each trader and calculate the average time between these trades so we have a number of each trader. the second approach is to calculate the time between each buy and sell by a trader (without calculating the average of all trades for each trader)
