NFT attention mining
Attention is a scare resource in the NFT space. Attention flows can be quantified by mining blockchain transactions. I worked with wgmi.io to build a data application for quantifying NFT ownership over time within the PROOF Collective. The app can be viewed here and its features are described below.

Blockchain analytics
There are at least three places to get useful data on blockchains: BigQuery, Nansen, and Dune Analytics. I will show how each of these can be used to answer a very basic question: what is the historical floor price of a popular NFT collection on OpenSea? In this process, I will highlight the trade-offs between data sources (summarized below):Summary of trade-offs between blockchain data sourcesNansenNansen is a subscription service. For the standard tier ($399 / quarter), you get access to an...
