As the crypto industry continues to evolve, Dune has marked 2024 as a pivotal year, characterized by significant advancements and a promising outlook for the future, according to dune.com. The company has embraced the multichain vision by integrating 75 new chains, enhancing user experience across Ethereum Layer 2s and various non-EVM ecosystems.
The Multichain Year
Throughout 2024, Dune focused on expanding its multichain capabilities. Initially supporting just over 10 chains, the platform now boasts integration with 75 chains. This expansion required substantial efforts from Dune's integration and infrastructure teams, but has resulted in a robust multichain user experience that encompasses data discovery, querying, and dashboard browsing.
Empowering Data Analysts
Dune has doubled down on its commitment to empowering data analysts by integrating AI into core workflows and introducing multichain decoding. The launch of a new code editor and dashboard minting has further enhanced analysts' capabilities. The introduction of pivot tables at DuneCon was met with enthusiasm, highlighting the community's appreciation for advanced data visualization tools.
Success of DuneCon
In November, Dune hosted its largest DuneCon event in Bangkok, attracting 900 attendees. The event, organized primarily in-house, was a testament to the company's dedication and team effort. DuneCon's success was underscored by an impressive Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 96.
Real-Time Data Offerings
Dune has launched its first real-time data offering, Echo, a developer platform providing multichain sub-second latency data APIs. This development represents a significant leap in enabling new use cases and enhancing the utility of onchain data for developers building decentralized applications.
Strategic Acquisitions
In a strategic move, Dune has acquired smlXL, a company known for its advanced crypto data tools. This acquisition aims to bolster Dune's capabilities in delivering real-time blockchain data, enhancing the platform's appeal to developers and analysts alike. The integration of smlXL's technology is expected to revolutionize how developers interact with onchain data.
Outlook for 2025
With regulatory clarity on the horizon in the US, Dune is poised to capitalize on the opportunities presented by public blockchains. The company is optimistic about serving onchain data to both analysts and developers in real time, further cementing its position as a leader in the crypto data space.
As Dune looks ahead to 2025, it remains committed to innovation and growth, driven by a mission to make crypto data accessible and useful for a wide range of industry participants.
