Dashboards and Tools

The analytics stack spans free explorers to premium intelligence platforms. Pick tools based on depth needed — casual research vs fund-grade labeling.

DeFiLlama standardizes TVL, fees, and yields across protocols and chains. Dune hosts community SQL dashboards and custom queries. Token Terminal focuses on protocol revenue and fundamental metrics.

Nansen tags smart money and token flows. Arkham maps entities to addresses. Glassnode tracks Bitcoin and Ethereum macro on-chain indicators. Start free; upgrade when queries hit limits or you need proprietary labels.
