[PRESS RELEASE – Boston, Mass, September 11th, 2024]

New Integration Broadens Dune’s Reach Across the Entire Polkadot Ecosystem, Providing Unmatched Onchain Insights

Zurg, Switzerland, September 11th, 2024 – Dune, the premier platform for onchain analytics, has announced the integration of over 50 parachains within the Polkadot ecosystem. This significant enhancement reinforces Dune’s status as the most extensive data resource for Polkadot, delivering exceptional insights and analytics for developers, investors, and data enthusiasts alike.

Earlier this year, Dune initiated support for Polkadot, Kusama, and six parachains. Now, the platform is taking a substantial leap by expanding coverage to encompass the complete Polkadot ecosystem. This integration empowers users to explore, analyze, and visualize all onchain activities across Polkadot in real-time, positioning Dune as the prime destination for data-informed decision-making.

The Polkadot ecosystem, renowned for its diverse and innovative parachains, generates substantial amounts of data. Navigating this intricate network can be quite challenging. Dune’s expanded support simplifies the access to essential onchain data, equipping users with the tools to derive deeper insights into Polkadot’s vibrant ecosystem.

The new parachains integrated include Moonbeam, which focuses on smart contracts and cross-chain DeFi; Acala, recognized as Polkadot’s hub for decentralized finance; Phala, specializing in privacy-first DePIN and AI solutions; and Mythos, a protocol that brings AAA decentralized gaming and highly popular franchises to Polkadot. These and many more integrations position Dune as the most extensive source for Polkadot’s onchain analytics, enabling users to monitor transaction flows, analyze DeFi activities, and keep track of developments in gaming and NFTs— all within a single, unified platform.

Fredrik Haga, CEO of Dune, stated, “The Polkadot ecosystem and its Substrate chains form a vast and intricate network. With the integration of over 50 parachains, our aim is to simplify that complexity. We strive to provide users with a clear, accessible view of what’s occurring across the network, allowing them to focus on innovation and development confidently.”

This groundbreaking integration was made possible through Dune’s collaboration with Colorful Notion. Together, the teams created a streamlined method for integrating new parachains, ensuring that Dune’s data remains thorough, precise, and trustworthy.

The integration also features enhanced capabilities via the Dune API, allowing users to transform any query into a flexible API endpoint. This addition provides greater adaptability for developers and analysts, enabling them to effortlessly incorporate Dune’s data into their applications.
