Dune Analytics offers decentralized exchange (dex) volumes, non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace data and analytics showing the number of defi users over time.

“At Dune Analytics we’re on a mission to make crypto data accessible. This is a mission that is getting harder by the day,” the company’s capital raise announcement noted. “Every new product, chain, and scaling solution increases data amount and fragmentation as they grow in adoption and throughput. Nevertheless, we are determined to realize this mission by making every single interesting metric across every single crypto data source easily accessible for free to the community.”

Dune Analytics: ‘The Data Must Flow’

In addition to Dune Analytics, Skew, Coin Metrics, and Messari, the company Dappradar raised $5 million last May. At the end of June, the crypto data firm Nansen raised $10 million from investors.

“At Dune Analytics we’re a small team with an outsized impact on the future of finance and financial data,” the Dune Founders Fredrik and Mats concluded. “Throughout this year we’ve grown the Dune team to eight people spread throughout Europe. To further enable convenient access to crypto data across more use cases, data sources and at a bigger scale we’re now hiring for a range of roles. The data must flow.”
