Overview

This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively analyse blockchain data using Python and other third-party tools.

The course will offer participants a refresher on Python and analytical tools, and the basics concepts of blockchain data. It will also go through 3 different use cases where participants will utilise different analytics techniques to analyse swaps and liquidity on Automated Market Makers (AMMs), detect wash trading on Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) marketplaces, and analyse revenues and trends on Play-to-Earn (P2E) games. Through a combination on theory and practical application, participants will develop the necessary skills to analyse blockchain data on their own.

At the end of the 3-day course, participants will be able to:

Demonstrate a solid understanding of blockchain technology and how it works
Understand the basics of Python programming language and apply it to blockchain analytics
Utilise various analytics libraries on Python to extract, transform and analyse blockchain data
Describe descriptive analytics and how it can be applied to different types of blockchain data, including transaction data, account data and state data
Use JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Application Programming Interface (API) to extract and analyse blockchain data
Analyse swaps and liquidity on AMMs, detect wash trading on NFT marketplaces and analyse revenues and trends on P2E games using blockchain analytics techniques
Utilise third-party tools such as SQL and visualisation using Dune Analytics, querying data using The Graph protocol and creating dashboards and projects using Flipside to enhance their blockchain analytics capabilities
Apply the learned techniques to real-world use cases in blockchain analytics
