Dune Analytics

Dune Analytics (operating at dune.com) is a blockchain data platform engineered for developers, analysts, and institutions seeking real-time, normalized insights across decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized assets, and onchain activity. Founded in 2018 by Fredrik and Mats in Oslo, Norway, Dune Analytics emerged from the nascent crypto industry, addressing a critical gap: the lack of accessible, standardized datasets for blockchain ecosystems. Under the hood, the platform aggregates raw onchain data from public blockchains, processes it into structured tables, and delivers it via a user-friendly interface—eliminating the need for manual scripting or proprietary APIs. This allows traders, researchers, and DeFi protocols to query historical and live metrics (e.g., TVL, liquidity trends, or smart contract interactions) with SQL-like simplicity. Backed by $79.4M in funding from investors like Union Square Ventures, Coatue, and DRAGONFLY, Dune Analytics has scaled to a $1B valuation, serving a community of over 100,000 monthly active users.
