I’m strongly supporting the Tokenguard team’s proposal to develop an Advanced Analytics Tool for our ecosystem. As a member of this community and core team member, I have been following their work closely, and I am impressed with their dedication and expertise!
As we continue to grow and evolve, having access to comprehensive, real-time data and insights is crucial for making informed decisions and staying competitive. The tool promises to deliver valuable features. and their work has the potential to greatly enhance the ecosystem, I believe it is important for us to support and encourage such innovative projects.
1.Maintenance costs are specified in details below and include both in-house and 3rd party services that Tokenguard is paying for, such as: cloud processing & storage, keeping the indexer up to date, frontend updating, mailing systems to deliver notifications, etc. There are more than 10 services in the backend.
Costs:
data storage & data maintenance: - (12 x $870 = $10,440)
alerting & monitoring service - (12 x $300 = $3,600)
indexer and data model updating - (12 x $200 = $2,400)
front-end maintenance - free of charge (included in our service)
Total: $16,440
2.Tokenguard app is our main product that we’re intensively developing. We believe that cooperation with Astar will give us ideas on next useful features that we will implement during this year and it’s currently hard to estimate potential maintenance cost after the first year.
You can however be rest assured that as long as the 3rd party costs are not increasing significantly, the cost of maintaining existing features will be kept at the same level. If Astar will not be able to cover maintenance costs after the first year, we will discuss it with the community and if the product proves useful for the team - find a solution to keep it available for the team.
3.We use tools such as:
kubernetes
subsquid
BI analytics tools
cloud hosting and scalable infrastructure
+well-known traditional solutions for data analytics purposes
Best practices are based on:
3+ years of experience in crypto analysis
technical experience in data engineering and working with data-heavy pipelines
business understanding of web3 sector and professional experience from traditional industries like consulting, finance, IT
If you have any additional questions do not hesitate to ask.
Excellent proposal. I even see many possibilities for synergy with the Reconsidering Astar’s Token Economics proposal. In addition to so many other applications such as generating fundamental analysis and ideas for marketing.
However, there is one detail that I was curious to understand.
In the Proposal it is described that the different users will be treated in a clustered way.
Since we are dealing with a technology that respects privacy more than WEB2, what types of clustering would be possible with this analysis tool?
One that I see as possible and in fact very useful for analyzing the quality of user acquisitions is to cluster them by:
Light Users
Average Users
Heavy Users
These separation criteria can be used to classify various data and make decision making much easier. Because generally, corporations that classify their users in this way (through various parameters) are always trying to make these users evolve (for the good of the enterprise) based on this easy-to-read scale.
Thanks for a really good question and idea! You’re perfectly right that web3 is a technology that finally respects users privacy which, I believe, is one of the reasons we’re all here. Our tool allows for clustering users depending on their on-chain behaviour which can bring in a lot of useful insights - especially for the Astar management team.
Clustering idea that you’ve mentioned is exactly how we’re doing it - depending on the user activity (heavy, average, light). We’re also segmenting users based on their on-chain behavior (stakers, developers, dApp users, etc.), wallet sizes (whales, dolphins, etc.), etc. There are numerous possibilities and we hope to find out a perfect feature for each of the user-personas within the Astar ecosystem.
You’re perfectly right that this might be useful for working out the tokenomy and we’re more than happy to add some insights per Astar team requests
I voted yes because I see this as a missing part of our ecosystem to track real on-chain data in our native environment and EVM. I see them joining dApp Staking for the maintenance of their project and to keep improving.
I cast a YES vote as I perceive this as an essential addition to our ecosystem for monitoring authentic on-chain information within our native and EVM environment!!
I voted yes as the project shows a really valuable potential to provide essential insights to everyone.
But I’d like next phases of development to be funded by an application to dapp staking, also providing the team a permanent revenue for maintenance and development.
I voted yes because I really think it’s important for our ecosystem to have visible on-chain metrics for users and builders, but I’d like to see the grant split and paid in tranches rather than all at once.
I would suggest a percentage paid up front to get them started and cover infrastructure costs, but the rest should be paid after each milestone.
We have had many projects that have applied for grants, received full payment and delivered little or nothing.
Thank you for choosing Tokenguard as your on-chain analytics tool! We’re excited to get that many positive comments and likes Our team is ready to start working on your implementation, which will take up to 2 months. We’ll firstly start with a kick-off meeting with Astar Team and then move forward as described in the roadmap above

I hope this message finds you all well. I am pleased to provide an update on our progress with the Astar analytics tool implementation for the first two weeks. I am happy to inform you that we have successfully completed the tasks outlined in the roadmap, and everything is going according to plan.
During Weeks 1-2, we focused on gathering metrics for the Astar dashboard. Our team worked closely with Astar’s team to collect all the necessary on-chain and off-chain metrics required. We also had a kickoff meeting to understand the available data sources and Astar’s desired outcomes.
As a result of our efforts, we have accomplished the following:
Astar mainnet data indexed: We have successfully indexed the data from the Astar mainnet, ensuring that we have access to the necessary data for analysis.
Astar data model designed: Based on the requirements gathered, we have designed a data model that can support the types of analysis needed by Astar. This data model will lay the foundation for our future work. (Please also note that this may change slightly during implementation, taking into account performance aspects and feedback on the provided dashboards in next steps).
Data model attached below:
Moving forward, in Weeks 3-4, we will begin implementing the data model and setting up the data pipelines. This phase will involve bringing in data from various sources, defining data transformations and cleaning rules, and building a data warehouse. Additionally, we will connect the data model to the Tokenguard app, enabling real-time insights for the Astar team.
