Introducing the NFT Analyst Starter Pack. Enter a contract address, and with one command generate CSV extracts for all token transfers, historical sales, and each underlying item’s metadata (w/ calculated rarity scores). Powered by @AlchemyPlatform. 🧵👇

Statistical rarity can be very misleading when it comes to NFT valuations. Why? Because cultural trends are often more powerful. Here’s an example of this you can see in the CryptoPunks data 👇.

If you believe that rarity determines value, then clown noses should be priced higher than hoodies - this is provably untrue.

Here’s what I’ve learned. 🧵👇 When smart contracts on Ethereum are invoked, they will often emit event logs that describe what has happened. These logs provide a way to store small amounts of data permanently on the blockchain.

The Ethereum developer community is more vibrant than ever. We estimate that more developers have entered the Ethereum ecosystem so far this year than the previous two years combined. 🧵👇 Image We can analyze the growth of Ethereum's developer activity by looking at the GitHub stars on key developer repositories (web3js, truffle, solidity, hardhat, ethersjs, OpenZeppelin contracts, web3py, and scaffold-eth) over time.
