Footprint Analytics

Grant category

Description:

Footprint Analytics is a blockchain data solutions provider. We leverage cutting-edge AI technology to help analysts, builders, and investors turn blockchain data and combine web2 data into insights with accessible visualization tools and a powerful multi-chain API across 20+ chains for NFTs, GameFi, wallet profiles, and money flow data.

Problem statement

Blockchain is still a new technology. It’s fair to say that we are just beginning to understand and explore the value of the data it provides. At this early stage, being able to collect, summarize and visualize data effectively is critical. Currently, most blockchain analytics tools focus on cryptocurrency quotes and compliance analysis. Why? Up to now, several roadblocks hinder the creation of powerful, easy-to-use analytics platforms for blockchain.

Proposed solution

Footprint is the go-to web3 data infrastructure:

  1. The tool that builds tools. 1.1 27 chains, covering from raw data to business indicators to AIGC tags 1.2 The first Single source of truth for Web3 metadata
  2. Saves time and resources while providing a holistic view 2.1 Can build all data aspects of a protocol on top of Footprint 2.2 Can connect Web2 data sources to understand the whole user journey 2.3 Can track cross-chain analyses on multiple projects

2 years ago, we aimed to become a better Dune for analysts. We built the first no-coding analytics tool for cross-chain analysis, covering more than 27 chains. After engaging with numerous industry project builders, we noticed analysts, developers, and operators need more efficient data utilization tools. Different teams within the same project are using multiple tools simultaneously, resulting in redundant and inefficient data work:

There need to be more professional providers in the industry for such solutions, which presents an opportunity for Footprint Analytics. Building upon the Footprint data platform, Footprint has outgrown data analytics to a one-stop solution provider for on-chain data. Fusing data across multiple scenarios is one of Footprint's core competitive advantages.

The data platform includes BI tools and offers multiple API output options to meet different departments' and scenarios' data utilization needs.

Here are some highlights of Footprint:
