Who are your competitors?
Dune
What differentiates you from your competitors?
DappLooker is different from its competitor in the following ways:
- No-Code Network Analytics
The platform’s visual SQL editor makes it easy for users to run complex queries and gain valuable insights into their project’s data, regardless of their technical background. The editor makes it easy for users to formulate queries and visualize the results without writing code.
- Smart Contract & Subgraph Analytics
It allows for both smart contract/subgraph visualization and advanced analytics, which provides in-depth insights into the relationships and patterns within the data. The user-friendly UI allows users to easily explore smart contract/subgraph data in tabular form, making it accessible for data analysts and developers to gain valuable insights.
- Analyze On-Chain and Off-Chain Data Together
Onchain data refers to data stored directly on the blockchain network, such as transaction details and smart contract events. On the other hand, off-chain data refers to the data stored outside the blockchain network but related to it, such as user behavior and market trends.
- Export on-chain data to CSV/Excel
Ecosystem users can export complete dapp/network transaction data into excel or CSV.
- Watermark-Free Embedding
Unlike other platforms that charge steep fees to remove their watermark, DappLooker offers this feature for free to both paid and non-paid users. This means businesses and individuals can create dashboards and charts on their websites, showcasing their insights and data without the hassle of any watermark.
- Chart API
This API allows users to fetch and integrate chart data in JSON format, providing businesses with even more customization options and the ability to tailor their insights to their needs. This feature allows businesses to create custom dashboards and explorers with advanced UI, all while fetching data directly from the platform.
Will your project be composable with other projects on Optimism? If so, please explain:
-
Yes. We understand the importance of composability in the blockchain ecosystem and its benefits to developers and users alike.
-
Developers can connect their smart contract, subgraph, and JSON API for integration.
-
As such, we have designed DappLooker to be easily integrated with other projects and protocols on the Optimism network, allowing developers to leverage the data and insights provided by DappLooker in combination with other tools to build more powerful and innovative Dapps.

Optimism Relationship
Does your project solve a problem for the Optimism ecosystem?:
-
Current Problem
- Understanding raw web3 data is complex.
- Data & analytics are in the hands of SQL developers and data scientists. Non-tech-savvy users find web3 analytics hard.
- No Analytics platform built for both technical and non-technical users.
- Slow Queries, Data refresh issues,
- Analyze on-chain & offchain together
-
The current state of the Optimism ecosystem needs a comprehensive platform that enables real-time tracking of usage metrics and statistics.
-
This absence of data & analytics tools results in missed opportunities to capture critical information that could help better understand user activity and behavior, such as churn rates, engagement rates, and other KPIs.
-
A unified platform would make it easier to monitor metrics such as TVL, daily and weekly transfer rates, etc., that could assist in decision-making processes.
-
Overall, the lack of a real-time analytics platform for monitoring and analyzing data means that the Optimism ecosystem is missing out on crucial insights that could inform and guide development efforts and identify areas for improvement and growth.
-
Therefore, a comprehensive analytics and visualization platform for the Optimism ecosystem is imperative.
How does your proposal offer a value proposition for solving the above problem?:
-
No-Code Network Analytics
- Visual SQL - Intuitive and saves time
- Drag & Drop Dashboard builder
-
Smart Contract & Subgraph Analytics
-
Custom transformations framework for faster queries
-
Analyze on chain & Off chain data together
-
Export data to CSV/Excel
-
External Integration - Chart APIs & Embedding
-
Integrate Optimism Network & Index the data from Optimism smart contracts & subgraphs
- Doing so enables us to present usage data in a visual format for real-time analytics and visualization.
- With DappLooker, users will gain access to essential retention metrics, including the number of active users, churn rate, and retention rate.
- This data will enable better decision-making and drive growth by helping identify improvement areas.
-
We are developing multiple network dashboards that will provide a snapshot of essential network statistics, such as
- Daily/Weekly/Monthly transaction volumes,
- Daily/Weekly/Monthly gas consumption
- Daily/Weekly/Monthly TVL and other key metrics
This will allow network participants to monitor network activity and make informed decisions based on the latest information.
Why will this solution be a source of growth for the Optimism ecosystem?:
-
After Integration, Optimism ecosystem users and community can build charts and dashboards using our drag-and-drop query builder on Optimism network data.
-
We understood from multiple Optimism stakeholders and Dapps that there is a strong need for no-code analytics solutions for Optimism Dapp’s owners and developers.
-
As more and more Dapps join the Optimism network, they must have an analytics solution to which they can reply for effective decision-making.
-
Create and fork dashboards using the drag-and-drop feature of dashboard builder. Gather info from multiple sources into a single dashboard. Share dashboards on a URL anywhere you need.
-
Export smart contract data in CSV or Excel
-
Write SQL queries using an intuitive visual SQL editor on the Optimism project dataset. Users can query, filter, join, and group on the Optimism project dataset. Community analytics can be done on an indexed Optimism dataset.
-
Analyzing key metrics can help the Optimism ecosystem identify areas to improve and grow. For example,
- Our User retention dashboard for Aave on Optimism network is a good example.
- Tracking the number of active users and their behavior can provide insights into how people use the ecosystem and what features or services are most popular.
- Analyzing churn and retention rates can help the team understand how many users are leaving the ecosystem and why.
- If a high percentage of users are churning, the team can investigate the reasons behind it and take steps to address any issues or pain points.
- A high TVL and transaction volume suggest that people actively use and see value in the ecosystem.
- Analyzing these key metrics is essential for identifying growth opportunities and understanding user behavior within the Optimism ecosystem. Using these insights to optimize the ecosystem, the team can attract more users, increase adoption, and ultimately achieve long-term success.
How committed are you (and your team) to building on Optimism?:
-
We are fully committed to building on the Optimism network and contributing to the growth and success of the ecosystem.
-
Popular Optimism native projects which are already live on DappLooker are Aave, Connext
-
We recognize the tremendous potential of Optimism’s Layer 2 scaling solution to enable faster and more cost-effective transactions on the Ethereum network. We are excited about the opportunities this presents for dapp developers and users.
-
Our team has a proven track record of building successful projects on 10+ blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Celo, Polygon, Arbitrum, and more
-
We are excited to bring this experience and expertise to the Optimism network and believe that we can contribute to the growth and success of the ecosystem by building high-quality tools and resources that can benefit developers and users alike.
