Public DAO grant analysis of recipients

Crypto Grants Analysis

Tracking and analyzing grants in the context of protocol activity. We want to aggregate grants data from across the ecosystem and then tie it to onchain metrics and KPIs in this Dune dashboard 📊.

This repo was created using this template, made to manage your Dune queries and any CSVs as Dune tables.

For Contributors

To add a grant, go to the /uploads folder and add a row onto an existing CSV sheet or create a new one. It will then get uploaded into Dune as a table. There is currently one CSV called evm_grants.csv that can be queried on Dune as dune.cryptodatabytes.dataset_evm_grants. The schema we're using for grants right now is below:

Column Name	Type	Description
grant_source	varchar	name of the project/entity giving the grant
grantee	varchar	name of the project/entity recieving the grant
grant_date	timestamp	date of grant confirmation/approval
grant_token_address	varbinary	address of the token that the grant is paid out in
grant_amount	double	amount of the token given in the grant
grant_name	varchar	name of grant cycle
grant_round	int	round of grant
grant_type	varchar	retroactive, proactive (you can suggest others too)
grant_category	varchar	purpose of the grant (growth, NFTs, creators, etc)
grant_distribution	varchar	how the grant is given to the grantee (claim, airdrop, farm, vesting)
grant_blockchain	varchar	blockchain that the grant was given out on
dune_namespaces	array(varchar)	namespace(s) of relevant decoded tables in Dune
dashboard_link	varchar	link to dashboard that goes deeper on the protocol, preferrably in a grant context

I've set up four types of issues right now:

• bugs: This is for data quality issues like miscalculations or broken queries.
• chart improvements: This is for suggesting improvements to the visualizations.
• query improvements: This is for suggesting improvements to the query itself, such as adding an extra column or table that enhances the results.
• generic questions: This is a catch all for other questions or suggestions you may have about the dashboard.

If you want to contribute, either start an issue or go directly into making a PR (using the same labels as above). Once the PR is merged, the queries will get updated in the frontend.

Query Management Scripts

You'll need python and pip installed to run the script commands. If you don't have a package manager set up, then use either conda or poetry . Then install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Script	Action	Command
pull_from_dune.py	updates/adds queries to your repo based on ids in queries.yml	python scripts/pull_from_dune.py
push_to_dune.py	updates queries to Dune based on files in your /queries folder	python scripts/push_to_dune.py
preview_query.py	gives you the first 20 rows of results by running a query from your /queries folder. Specify the id. This uses Dune API credits	python scripts/preview_query.py 2615782
upload_to_dune.py	uploads/updates any tables from your /uploads folder. Must be in CSV format, and under 200MB.	python scripts/upload_to_dune.py

crypto-grants-analysis's Issues

[GENERIC] What do we do about non-protocol projects?

There will be many non-protocol projects (developer tooling, communities, etc). Thoughts on how we should measure them? maybe shouldn't be included in analysis (can still include in uploads).

[GENERIC] Some chart improvements and suggested metrics

Show grants/funding consistency

Would like a way to show funding consistency across ecosystem, in addition to the high level summary on the top. An example would be the following:

Query: link

Hard to view progress and effectiveness of grantees

Instead of showing the breakdown, maybe we can have grantee onchain performance on aggregate and their impact on the rest of the ecosystem instead?

I personally quite like the view we had in [Optimism - Incentive Program Performance Summary]. Although this would require us knowing when each protocol actually started implementing any incentive/rewards. A proxy would be comparing onchain metrics before grant date, and last 30 days to see any incremental improvement overtime

Create a view to see project overlaps

To answer questions such as if projects been getting grants from various different protocols, what are they, how much have the received, and how successful they are

Create a view to understand the vertical of grants allocation

This can possibly help us understand what's important to a protocol, and what vertical of the ecosystem they're trying to invest in. We can agree on some pre-defined verticals that can be applied across the projects
