ℹ️ Data Sources, Definitions, and Metrics

• Data sources. Data is primarily sourced from Flipside Crypto, specifically the Near transactions, receipts, and function calls tables.
  • CEX addresses. This is sourced from Flipside's labels table.
  • Token prices. This is sourced from the Near and Ethereum price tables. For missing data points, these are manually imputed using price data from CoinMarketCap.
• Transfer volume. All volume figures are quoted in USD to accommodate multiple tokens.
• Unique users. In the context of transfers from/to a CEX, this refers to the number of user wallets, either receiving/sending funds from/to a CEX.
• Active users. In the context of CEX-funded wallets, this refers to the number of users which have transacted on the NEAR network after funding their wallet from a CEX.

Dashboard Tabs

This dashboard is logically separated into sections as described below:

• CEX Flows. Summary statistics and high-level trends in volume and active users.
• Tokens. Metrics drill down per token.
• CEXes. Metrics drill down per centralized exchange (CEX).
• User Onboarding. Metrics related to activity of CEX-funded user wallets.
• Key Insights. Interesting observations made by the author using information from this dashboard.

This dashboard displays the volume of transfers between NEAR and centralized exchanges (CEX) as well as the number of unique users transferring these funds. It is designed primarily as an interactive metrics dashboard for network stakeholders to track and monitor the flow of funds from CEXes. Key insights extracted using this dashboard are provided separately at the very last tab.

CEX as a tool for onboarding funds

One of the main goals of this dashboard is to quantify the role of CEXes in bringing more users into the NEAR ecosystem with the assumption that users typically fund their wallets via centralized exchanges. As such, the following convention is used throughout the dashboard:

• Inflow. Token transfers from CEXes to NEAR user wallets
• Outflow. Token transfers from NEAR user wallets to CEXes

This dashboard was built by @rmas and contributed to MetricsDAO and to the community in general. Feel free to fork and reference the source code behind the charts.

Parameters

Use the following parameters to change the displayed metrics. You can either zoom in or out in terms of time as well as view a specific CEX.

• CEX. Use ALL to include data for all available CEX addresses. Otherwise, pick a specific centralized exchange from the list on the right.
• Interval. The aggregation level of the metrics in terms of time, e.g. DAY, WEEK, or MONTH
• Number of Periods. The number of past time periods to include in the statistics and charts, depending on the specified interval, e.g. 30 days, 4 weeks, 1 month, egc.
• Exclude Current Period. YES or NO. This allows you to exclude the current day/week/month from the calculated metrics. This is useful if you do not want to show partial values because the latest (current) period is still incomplete.
