How Dune Helped Polygon Boost Community Engagement and Deliver Faster On-Chain Insights
Polygon Labs, a leading blockchain infrastructure provider supporting major Web3 projects, leveraged Dune’s data analytics platform to boost visibility and transparency across its ecosystem. This collaboration demonstrated how efficient data tools can accelerate insights and empower both internal teams and public communities.
Showcasing User Engagement with Reddit Collectible Avatars
In July 2022, Reddit launched its Polygon-based “Collectible Avatar” NFTs, which sparked significant interest and helped attract users to Polygon’s ecosystem. However, detailed insights like the distribution of avatar holders were initially missing, hindering measurement of the initiative’s true impact.
Polygon Labs’ data analysts turned to Dune’s contract decoding and pre-existing community queries to quickly bridge this gap. They built a comprehensive dashboard tracking Reddit Avatars data within hours, enabling:
- Fast access to critical launch statistics
- Enhanced internal decision-making speed
- Transparent public visibility, fostering community trust and engagement
“My turnaround for these dashboards is 75% faster thanks to Dune.” – Peter Liem, Data Analyst at Polygon Labs
The dashboard’s public accessibility also attracted citations from major news sources and research institutions, further increasing ecosystem awareness.
Financial Transparency: Monitoring Validator Rewards
Polygon Labs also needed to monitor how transaction fees were distributed to validators but lacked ready data for priority fees on EVM chains. Dune’s unique datasets filled this void by providing:
- Reliable on-chain fee data
- Easily downloadable, flexible queries for finance teams
- Continuous tracking of validator payouts
This solution not only fulfilled an immediate reporting requirement but also enhanced transparency around Polygon’s financial operations, enabling faster and data-driven financial oversight.
