Most of us probably use Nansen, Dune, DefiLlama and Parsec quite frequently.
Today I want to share 10 research tools that are not that well known but I find particularly useful.
See below šš§µ
1/10: EtherDrop Bot
Built by @0xCheck and similar to Nansen alerts, this bot allows you to set notifications on your Telegram for any movements in a specific wallet, pool or NFT collection for free.
@tallyxyz is a great platform to keep up to date with any governance proposals across different EVM chains. It's also a great tool for setting up a DAO.
4/10: Apophenia's Blog Scrapper
Another bot built by a fellow intern from @InternDAO. This bot sends you a Telegram message every time a project uploads a new article to their medium/blog. Many projects update their blog before tweeting about it.
5/10: Token Unlock Dashboard
@Token_Unlocks is my favourite tool to track token unlocks. Their Dashboard is super intuitive and when you select a project it provides a lot of details about its tokenomics.
6/10: OpenBB Terminal
@openbb_finance is an investment research app that allows users to access a lot of Bloomberg's features for free in a Python-based environment.
@Eigenphi is one of my favourite tools for MEV. Track sandwich attacks, flashloans and identify malicious tokens in their website.
8/10: Deep Dive into MEV
zeromev.org categorises MEV by how harmful it is for users. It differentiates toxic frontruning vs other types of MEV. It can be visualised by wallet or by block.
Here's a walkthrough video covering the basics:
9/10: Identify yield opportunities
@0xCoindix monitors over 10,000 vaults across 27 chains and allows you to filter by protocol, chain, type of yield or TVL.
See below an example of yield opportunities on stablecoins in vaults with >$1m TVL sorted by APY.
10/10: Track Derivatives data
@laevitas1 is a data analytics platform. Probably my favourite app for tracking derivatives and funding rates in crypto.
Their dashboards have a lot of interesting data so I'd recommend checking them out.
Remember to always DYOR. Let me know if there are any other tools you like to use, and feel free to share the first tweet if you found this thread helpful.
I have been doing some research over the past weeks and wanted to share 10 projects I have found particulalry interesting and I consider to be overlooked:
Y2K allows users to speculate on the risk of pegged assets. Users can buy or sell insurance on a de-peg event by depositing ETH. Incubated by @neworderDAO and with some gigabrains in their team as @dcfintern and @knowerofmarkets.
Alkimiya is building capital markets for blockspace. It allows miners and validators to create contracts to hedge and monetize future rewards to minimise risk.
Over the last couple of weeks I've been using @parsec_finance a lot more and I think it's one of the best tools to do on-chain analysis, so I wanted to share some of its most useful features that are available for free.
Short thread below šš§µ
First of all, you can get a 10-day free trial when you join Parsec with an email address. While some tools are restricted to paid members, there are a lot of things that can be done with the free version.
I'll share share my 10 favourite tools:
1) Track transactions in DeFi over a certain volume across different chains. Eg. All transactions >$1M.
