Dune Launches Catalyst For Blockchain

Dune, a renowned provider of web3 data analytics, has unveiled Dune Catalyst, an enterprise solution specifically engineered to optimize the process of integrating blockchain data

Using a fully managed or hosted solution, this new offering intends to aid blockchain teams in making their data accessible to the largest crypto data community in the world. Dune Catalyst can be initiated via a scheduled call that interested parties can access through the Dune website.

The proliferation of numerous Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks—including Arbitrum Orbit and the OP stack—has inspired the development of hundreds of new blockchains. Notwithstanding the accessibility of public data on these blockchains, communities frequently encounter challenges in obtaining or analyzing said data.

This concern is resolved by Dune Catalyst, which expedites the integration process with Dune and improves data accessibility for emerging blockchains.

The significance of a multichain future was underscored by Fredrik Haga, the CEO and co-founder of Dune. Haga stated that Dune Catalyst offers a novel data structure standard that enables blockchains to expedite the public accessibility of their data, circumventing the time lags caused by the backlogs of data indexers.

Dune Catalyst is available in a fully managed integration solution and a self-serve hosted solution. The fully managed solution offers a comprehensive service that handles everything from data setup to continuous management. In contrast, the hosted solution allows EVM blockchains to bring their data to Dune via Catalyst’s standardized APIs.

Degen, a new Layer 3 on Farcaster, and Mode Network, a modular DeFi-centric Layer 2, are among the first projects to leverage Catalyst’s standardized APIs. Degen’s recent launch of its Layer 3 network on Arbitrum Orbit and Mode Network’s MODE token release has enabled users to access comprehensive data insights through Dune’s platform, providing better visibility into network growth.

Jacek Trocinski, Founder of Degen, expressed excitement about the partnership with Dune, highlighting the benefits of unlocking data analytics for their community. This partnership will allow Degen to access their chain’s latest trends and insights, supporting ecosystem growth.

James Ross, Core Contributor of Mode, noted that with over 50 protocols deployed and over $600 million in total value locked (TVL) on Mode, integrating with Dune Catalyst will provide their community with instant comprehensive visibility into token performance and network expansion.

Dune will host its annual conference, DuneCon, alongside DevCon 2024 on November 11, 2024, in Bangkok, Thailand.

The event will bring together a community of data enthusiasts and blockchain experts, with speakers including Sandy Peng, Co-Founder of Scroll, Stani Kulechov, Founder of AAVE, and Jess Houlgrave, CEO of WalletConnect.
