Why Make Ethereum Blockchain Data Available on Google Cloud? 6576

Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies have captured the imagination of technologists, financiers, and economists. Digital currencies are only one application of the underlying blockchain technology. Earlier this year, we made the Bitcoin dataset publicly available for analysis in Google BigQuery. Today we’re making the Ethereum dataset available.

Like its predecessor, Bitcoin, you might think of the Ethereum blockchain as an immutable distributed ledger. However, creator Vitalik Buterin extended its set of capabilities by including a virtual machine that can execute arbitrary code stored on the blockchain as smart contracts.

With regards to the system architecture, Ethereum resembles Bitcoin in that it primarily serves to record immutable transactions. Both are essentially OLTP databases, and provide little in the way of OLAP (analytics) functionality. However, the Ethereum dataset is notably distinct from the Bitcoin dataset:

  • The Ethereum blockchain’s primary crypto-economic unit of value is Ether, while the Bitcoin blockchain’s unit of value is Bitcoin. However, the majority of value transfer on the Ethereum blockchain is composed of so-called tokens. Tokens are created and managed by smart contracts.
  • Ether value transfers are precise and direct, resembling accounting ledger debits and credits. This is in contrast to the Bitcoin value transfer mechanism, for which it can be difficult to determine the balance of a given wallet address.
  • Addresses can be not only be wallets that hold balances, but can also contain smart contract bytecode that allows the programmatic creation of agreements and automatic triggering of their execution. An aggregate of coordinated smart contracts could be used to build a decentralized autonomous organization.

The Ethereum blockchain data are now available for exploration with BigQuery. All historical data are in the ethereum_blockchain dataset, which updates daily. The Ethereum ETL project on GitHub contains all source code used to extract data from the Ethereum blockchain and load it into BigQuery—we welcome more contributors and more blockchains!

Why make Ethereum blockchain data available on Google Cloud?

While the Ethereum blockchain peer-to-peer software has an API for a subset of commonly used random-access functions (for example: checking transaction status, looking up wallet-transaction associations, and checking wallet balances, for example), API endpoints don’t exist for easy access to all of the data stored on-chain.

Perhaps more importantly, API endpoints also don’t exist for viewing the blockchain data in aggregate.  Here’s an example chart that shows the total Ether transferred and average transaction cost, aggregated by day:

Ether aggregate transfers and transaction costs

A visualization like this (and the underpinning database query) is useful for making business decisions, such as prioritizing improvements to the Ethereum architecture itself (is the system running close to capacity and due for an upgrade?) to balance sheet adjustments (how quickly can a wallet be rebalanced?).

BigQuery has strong OLAP capabilities to support this type of analysis, ad-hoc and in general, without requiring additional API implementation.

Accordingly, we built a software system on Google Cloud that:

  1. Synchronizes the Ethereum blockchain to computers running Parity in Google Cloud.
  2. Performs a daily extraction of data from the Ethereum blockchain ledger, including the results of smart contract transactions, such as token transfers.
  3. De-normalizes and stores date-partitioned data to BigQuery for easy and cost-effective exploration.

The Ethereum blockchain dataset is also available on Kaggle here. You can query the live data in Kernels, Kaggle’s no charge in-browser coding environment, using the BigQuery Python client library. Fork this example kernel to experiment with your own copy of the Python code.

Interesting queries and analyses

Below, we show a number of interesting queries and visualizations based on the Ethereum dataset. Our analyses focus on three popular topics:

  • Smart contract function calls
  • On-chain transaction time-series and transaction networks
  • Smart contract function analytics

Analysis 1: Popular Smart Contracts Event Logs

The main use case for the Ethereum blockchain has so far been the exchange of digital tokens. Below we demonstrate querying the dataset’s transactions and contracts tables to find the most popular smart contracts, as measured by transaction count:

What are the 10 most popular Ethereum collectibles (ERC-721 contracts), by number of transactions? View my query here.

Contract addresses and transfer counts for the 10 most popular Ethereum collectibles 

The most popular ERC-721 smart contract by transaction count is 0x06012c8cf97bead5deae237070f9587f8e7a266d, the main smart contract for the CryptoKitties game. We’ll take a look at some attributes of the game later in this document.

Looking more closely at this contract’s source code, it logs a CryptoKitty birth event to the blockchain. You can query the logs table for instances of this event here.

We can visualize the CryptoKitty pedigree, as shown here for accounts that own at least 10 CryptoKitties. Color indicates owner, while size indicates the PageRank (reproductive fitness) of each CryptoKitty:

CryptoKitty PageRank based on game's contract's source code

Analysis 2: Transaction Volumes and Transaction Networks

There are many types of tokens being distributed on the Ethereum blockchain, and their patterns of distribution vary by type and also by time. By looking at each token’s transaction activity, we can measure which are more popular in aggregate or within a given time frame.

Here’s a query to measure an aggregate token statistic: which are the 10 most popular Ethereum tokens (ERC20 contracts), by number of transactions? Find the answer here.

At position #5, one of the most popular tokens is OmiseGO ($OMG) at address 0xd26114cd6ee289accf82350c8d8487fedb8a0c07.

As a follow-up, here’s a query for measuring a token statistic (transaction count) by time window, specifically the daily count of $OMG tokens transfers, and a Data Studio visualization of these data as a time series from inception through August 2, 2018 from this Google Sheet:

OmiseGO exchange daily transfers

Note that on September 13, 2017, there was a large increase in the number of $OMG receivers but no increase in the number of senders. This corresponds to the beginning of the OmiseGO Token Airdrop.

Because the data, at a highly granular level, consists of a set of transfers between wallet addresses, we can also reason about the data using a directed graph data structure.

Here’s a visualization of a subset of the same data: it’s the first 50,000 transactions that had at least two trading partners. In this graphic, nodes (points) represent wallet addresses on the Ethereum blockchain, and edges (lines) represent aggregate transfer of tokens between a pair of addresses. Edge length is approximately proportional to the number of tokens transferred, meaning wallets that transfer more aggregate tokens between them are closer together in the chart. Further groups of addresses that transfer often with one another—to the exclusion of members of other groups—will cluster together, and we’ve color coded these groups for clarity. This graphic was made with Gephi and nodes are color-labeled by groups calculated using the Modularity algorithm.

Transfer graph visualization of Ethereum transactions

Analysis 3: Analysis of Smart Contract Functionality

We mentioned previously that many of the smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain are ERC-20 contracts. What does this mean? ERC-20 simply defines a software interface that smart contracts can implement. Specifically, it’s composed of a few functions related to token transfer, fully described in the ERC20 Token Standard specification document.

There are many other functions that can be implemented by a smart contract. Fortunately, many smart contracts’ source code is freely available to use (open source). We can use this to gain some knowledge about what other contracts do from the name of the function, even for those of which we don’t have the source code, because common function names will share a common signature.

Coming back to the CryptoKitties, discussed in Analysis 3 above, the major element of gameplay is animal husbandry, and the mixing of genes in a breeding event is implemented in the CryptoKitties GeneScience smart contract, 0xf97e0a5b616dffc913e72455fde9ea8bbe946a2b. Suppose we wanted to find other games also implementing similar gameplay mechanics to the CryptoKitties GeneScience contract? We can measure this using a JavaScript UDF implementation of the Jaccard similarity coefficient in this query.

These results reveal that several earlier versions of the GeneScience contract are most similar to the current version of the smart contract at address 0xf97e0a5b616dffc913e72455fde9ea8bbe946a2b. But there are also some others (e.g. CryptoPuppies at 0xb64e6bef349a0d3e8571ac80b5ec522b417faeb6), that appear to be highly similar contracts, as measured by method signatures.

Monopoly Millionaire Game Raised $1 Million in Seed Funding 4146

2022 07 11 18 49 56

Monopoly Millionaire Game, a marine-themed GameFi that involves island construction, cultivating, shooting and more, announced that it has completed a seed funding of 1 million US Dollar. By this round of funding, MMG was valued at 10 million US Dollar.

Mirana Ventures led the seed funding round. Other notable investors included Kernel Ventures, Mint Ventures, Crypto J, and Ventorylabs.

MMG Team said it will use the fund to help realize the MMG GameFi vision and attract more users to participate in the Web3 games. In MMG, players shall buy Cannon NFTs to get the entry. With the NFT entry, players can earn daily check-in rewards and P2E rewards. Daily check-in rewards guarantee players to earn their principal back. Besides, players can earn additional rewards by P2E within the NFT life cycle.

“In MMG GameFi economic model, each NFT has a life cycle, that means, each can only be used for P2E for a limited period of time. Players have to upgrade the NFT or sell it in the marketplace when its life cycle expires. This enables us to better control inflation and have a healthier ecosystem,” Monopoly Millionaire Game CEO Angle told on an earlier Press Release at Cointelegraph. “Now MMG GameFi official version is launched. We welcome all users across the world to visit Monopoly Millionaire Game official website to download and experience the game.»

Monopoly Millionaire Game is developed by group members who have rich game-developing experience in world-famous Internet companies. Even though the product is still in its early stages, investors believe it has significant growth potential to connect game players all over the world.

“With several hundreds of experienced game developers, and tens of thousands of users in the world, the potential for Monopoly Millionaire Game is significant,” Karter, a partner at Mirana Ventures, said in the press release.

About Monopoly Millionaire Game

Monopoly Millionaire Game is a marine-themed game that features activities such as island construction, cultivating, shooting, among others. It is an NFT P2E game built on the BNB Chain. It adopts a dual-token economic model. MMG is the in-game token and MMC is the governance token.

Players use Cannon NFT to hunt marine creatures and each cannon fire will consume Gold Coins which have a limited daily quota. By hunting, players earn MMG token rewards. The Cannon NFT varies from 1 to 8 star levels. The higher the level, the more P2E profit the players will earn. Moreover, by receiving daily sign-in rewards, a player can completely cover their NFT costs, not to mention the additional P2E rewards available.

Each Cannon NFT has a “life cycle”. When it expires, the player has to upgrade it or sell it on the market. This solves a deep-seated problem in many GameFi games: inflation. The MMG team strives to build a long-term and sustainable ecosystem, where players can enjoy the game, be entertained, and earn a profit in the meantime.

ECO Cashew is set to close a 23.5 Million Euro Multi-year Cashew off-take agreement with a major European Food Group while preparing for their ISPO event 4363

4 2022 07 08 в 12 15 58

The need for projects with real-life use cases has been a major topic for discussion in the blockchain ecosystem. This is because these projects can directly impact lives, change the narrative around cryptocurrencies and massively drive their adoption among everyday people.

More than ever, we’ve seen an increase in the number of these projects, each focused on improving different aspects of human experiences using blockchain technology and cryptocurrency as a tool. An example of such is EcoCashew, a fast-rising project combining the world of charity, blockchain, and mechanization to impact the life of Cashew farmers in Africa.

In recent news, the project announced its 23.5 Million Euro partnership agreement with a major European food group in the pipeline. This is a big step as every cause, no matter how noble, requires the right partnership to achieve true success, and Eco Cashew is evidently on its way to success with the partnership agreement in the works.

What is EcoCashew?

EcoCashew is an innovative project using asset-backed CashewF tokens and blockchain technology to enable West African cashew producers to receive fair trade prices and earn an honest livelihood.

The project intends to build a processing facility in West Africa, where 50% of world’s Cashews are cultivated so as to process farm products locally rather than sending them to Asia as has become customary. Through this manufacturing facility, they will be able to reduce the cost of round-trip transportation, which will be diverted to increasing the farmers’ revenue, pay token holders, and provide locals with stable employment opportunities.

Also, to achieve this goal, EcoCashew has created CashewF and Cashew tokens, which are cryptocurrency coins on the Cardano network. These tokens provide everyone the chance to take part in a worthy cause and earn APY on their token holdings.

The project is led by Mr. Ronald Buijk, with over 25 years of experience in West Africa and an understanding of the region’s dynamics in order to effectively execute a cashew processing factory in the region. The initiative is focused on attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals using their own dynamic approach.

Why should anyone be a CashewF token holder?

The CashewF token gives a dual opportunity to every investor. A chance to do good and an opportunity to enjoy massive profit on investment. Currently, to raise money for the manufacturing facility, EcoCashew is selling the first 7 Million CashewF coins at an enormous discount. This presents an opportunity for investors to get in early and enjoy early supporters’ benefits at a meager cost.

For instance, the EcoCashew structure provides a 24 months reward program where every holder of 1000 CashewF tokens or more enjoys 12% APY, i.e., 1% nominal profits monthly from the moment of activation of the factory. These earnings will be automatically remitted to all ADA wallets like Eternl, Yoroi, Nami, etc., where the owners have total control over their ADA and other tokens like CashewF.

EcoCashew is reinventing cashew processing in Africa while changing the narrative for farmers and returning cryptocurrency income back to investors. Simply revolutionary.

EcoCashew ISPO and how to participate.

ISPO is a crypto acronym that stands for initial stake pool offering. It is a novel technique for crypto fundraising and was first launched on the Cardano blockchain.

In recent news, EcoCashew announced its ISPO event scheduled to take place on the 9th of July alongside the different highly trusted stake pools which will be participating in the EcoCashew ISPO. This will enable them to reach, collaborate and engage more Cardano crypto community.

These staking pools include [AAA] AAA Stakelovelace, [APEX] Apex Cardano Pool, [OYSTR] Oyster Pool, [VENUS] Fresco Pool, [ZEBRA] Zebra Staking.

The event set for the 9th of July will run for 7 Epochs, with each Epoch providing access to 50,000 CashewF tokens (5% of 10 Million). This will total 350,000 CashewF tokens airdropped over the 7 Epoch duration.

To be eligible to receive your CashewF through the Vending Machine, join the Staking Pools by delegating your  ADA in your private Cardano wallet today to one of ISPO pools listed above.

Future plans and Projections.

The EcoCashew project is highly driven and focused on achieving their goals with various projections on what is to come. One of the plans ahead is the integration of limited edition NFTs with the SDGs as the topics. This will be awarded to ISPO participants who allocate at least 500 Cardano – ADA during the course of the EcoCashew ISPO 7 epochs.

Additionally, a distributor in Europe who wants to purchase as many cashews as possible from the Future EcoCashew Fair Trade factory in West Africa is about to sign a three-year, $24 million contract with them because they believe it to be a wise and sustainable course of action that merits their support.

Indeed, the EcoCashew project is a highly innovative and novel solution solving real life problems for everyday people in Africa while benefiting others from every region of the world.

HeadStarter ignites Web3 season as Hedera Hashgraph’s first L1 launchpad 3691

HeadStarter, the first launchpad on Hedera Hashgraph, has announced its first initial decentralized exchange (DEX) offering (IDO).

HeadStarter is pioneering the emergence of Web3 applications on Hedera by offering a suite of services that accelerate the platform’s crypto-project development. A reputable launchpad with project-acceleration support will bring long-term value to the Hedera ecosystem currently emerging from greenfield development. Web3 and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on Hedera have motivated ecosystem partners and the community to participate in HeadStarter’s IDO.

HeadStarter strives to be a pivotal infrastructural Web3-stack component for Hedera’s projects and user base, paving the way for Hedera-based smart contract audits as a legitimate DeFi protocol to drive mass adoption.

HeadStarter is also growing Hedera’s visibility and interoperable integrations with Know Your Customer regulatory-technology support, Anti-Money Launder, centralized exchange (CEX) support for Hedera-native tokens, ecosystem funding and more to fast-track the development of native Web3 projects.

The success of HeadStarter’s first IDO is a result of the diligent work delivered by the in-house development arm Buidler Labs, which built an open-source SDK wrapper on top of Hedera’s. Strato.Js doubles as an early Hedera development tool and helps deliver HeadStarter’s decentralized application (DApp) functionality.

It’s been adopted by developers of other Hedera-based projects and hackathon participants, as it greatly reduces delivery times. The development team ensures every aspect of the platform is designed and built natively on Hedera. It was imperative the DApp leveraged Hedera’s ability to ensure fast, secure and low-energy consumption token swaps at affordable, United States dollar-pegged fees.

HeadStarter intends to offer a complete set of Web3-crowdfunding mechanisms for NFT minting and selling. It is exploring startup-funding possibilities it hopes to launch in the near future.

How HeadStarter is helping Hedera embrace DeFi

Apart from its growing community, the HeadStarter team is proud to be partnering with the leading projects built on Hedera and the influential partners in the crypto economy.

The HBAR Foundation, Hedera’s accelerator and grant issuer, has also announced a partnership with HeadStarter and has dedicated more than $400 million to boost the Web3 economy and the metaverse on Hedera. Together, they are promoting Hedera and recommending it as an obvious choice for DApps that value security and scalability at micropayment-level costs in a carbon-negative distributed network.

During the HeadStarter IDO, the user base’s swapping experience was fast and user-friendly. It was gratifying to see the platform perform well in processing transactions during the process.

Natively built on Hedera, the HeadStarter IDO launchpad is fully optimized to benefit from layer-1 (L1) distributed ledger technology.

Alongside its upcoming NFT sale, HeadStarter has opened its main IDO round for a limited time to subscribe. The HeadStarter (HST) token will be listed shortly afterward on CEXs and DEXs.

Users can check the HeadStarter DApp and keep up with developments on Hedera at app.HeadStarter.org/projects.
