Getting Started with Dapplooker

Introduction

Developers on Moonriver and Moonbeam can use the Dapplooker platform to analyze their on-chain data and run SQL queries. The integration gives projects the ability to create charts and dashboards to track their smart contracts and provide feedback on performance and adoption.

Dapplooker analytics platform complements Moonbeam-based networks by helping users make sense of smart contracts without having to rely on an engineer or analyst. Dapplooker’s intuitive Visual SQL helps browse smart contract data in tabular form and write SQL queries using easy to use editor. Users can create, fork and share dashboards with everyone.

This guide will cover all of the details needed to register your project with the Dapplooker platform and how to build analytics using SQL editor. This guide can be adapted for use on Moonbeam, Moonriver, or Moonbase Alpha.

Create Charts & Dashboards

To get started creating charts to visualize your data, you can click Create a Chart at the top of the page. From there you can choose to create a Simple chart, Custom chart, or Native query chart. For more information on creating each type of chart, you can take a look at the Dapplooker documentation on creating charts.

If you are interested in creating a dashboard, you can get started by clicking Browse Data at the top of the page. Then you can select the + button which will have a dropdown menu where you can select New dashboard. For more information on creating a dashboard, please refer to the Dapplooker documentation on creating a dashboard.

You can publish charts and dashboards in private or public folders. Public charts and dashboards are accessible to everyone. You can also fork, edit, and create new charts and dashboards from public charts.

Example Charts & Dashboards

There are a collection of charts and dashboards available for you to view and build off of for both Moonbeam and Moonriver. To get started, you can take a look at the Moonbeam Network Collection or the Moonriver Network Collection. From there you'll find a list of public charts and dashboards that can easily be edited.

To start editing any of the charts or dashboards, you can click on the list icon in the right hand corner between the Summarize button and the refresh icon. This will take you to the editor where you can fully customize the preexisting data. Any changes you make will not automatically be saved. To create the chart or dashboard with your changes, you'll need to click Save. For more information on editing and creating the charts or dashboards, please refer to the Dapplooker documentation site.

Another place you can start to view and build off of data is from the list of Moonbeam Staking dashboards and the Moonriver Staking dashboards.
