Last week, we launched our new app. Even before, analysts said it was a great tool - but now, it brings a new level of efficiency, customization, and scale to the analyst workflow.

As a team of data scientists, professional analysts, and on-chain builders, Flipside and all of our partners rely on data analysis to help us build better.

But what if you’re not an analyst? Can you still leverage the power of doing your own research to inform what you build, use, and invest in?

Absolutely! 

While anyone can learn the basics of queries in SQL (and can do so for free at MetricsDAO), if you’re not looking to go pro as an analyst, you may want a simpler, more efficient way to research.

In that case, the new Flipside is still exactly what you need.

Just head to flipsidecrypto.xyz. On the landing page, you’ll be greeted by a list of top dashboards created by talented analysts, on every topic you can think of! 

Top 8 - eternal glory for analysts, reliable data for all 

The first 8 dashboards on the page are what we call the “Top 8” (thank you, it took us forever to come up with that name).

These dashboards are the highest-ranking on a list that measures a combination of activity and performance factors, from traffic to likes and shares, and more. 

If you’re looking for trends, look for the Top 8! To get into the Top 8, dashboards must be relevant, reliable, and easy to use, so it’s a great place to start your search.

 If you have a more specific question in mind, the search bar at the top will filter from more than 100,000 dashboards by over 25,000 analysts to find the topics you’re looking for.

Let’s give it a shot here.

Say you’re interested in DeFiLlama. By searching DeFiLlama, we find this dashboard by DrEthereum:

Clicking over to the “DEX and options” tab, we can explore a variety of ready-made charts that compare DEX volumes across chains and protocols, as well as recent trends in options trading.

DrEthereum has even gone through the trouble of providing memes to spice up the dashboard (it’s no wonder this dashboard also happens to currently be in the Top 8):

Another recent update brought about by the new app launch is adjustable parameters.

Even if the dashboard’s creator made queries looking for a specific time range or value set, you as the viewer can directly edit those parameters to find different information, without knowing SQL!

This enables you to adjust dashboards to fit your needs and context. 

When you find value in an analyst’s work, the analyst also benefits!

Just by visiting the dashboard, you’re helping that analyst climb the ranks and make their way in to the Top 8 Club, where they’ll receive a plethora of special benefits (many of which are still a secret).

The best part is, using these dashboards is completely free. Study them, quote them, share them, however you like (just remember to credit its creator, and hit the like button on their dashboard to help them rank up :) )

So whether you want to learn SQL, compete for dashboard supremacy, and earn a living for your analysis, or simply want to find insights to help you do whatever it is you do best, flipsidecrypto.xyz is the tool you need.
