Networks Dataset Overview

The Networks Dataset allows users to explore metrics for all of the top networks. Quickly browse metrics in tables, visualize trends in charts, and deep-dive into an individual network to learn more about its on-chain usage, activity, and growth.

This page includes a step-by-step guide on getting the most from Messari's Networks Dataset, along with hot tips for success and FAQs collected from Messari users. Be sure to check out the full Video Library for detailed walkthrough videos.

🚧

The Networks Dataset is available for Messari Pro and Enterprise subscribers. Please visit our Pricing page to compare plans or Contact Us if you have any questions.

Pre-Built Views

Tables & Charts

Messari's Networks Dataset can be viewed in a tabulated (table) or chart format.

Table Format

The Networks dataset opens, by default, in the Table format with the pre-built Key Metrics view, which includes metrics on:

• Transactions and transaction fees
• Average daily active addresses
• Circulating marketcap
• Total value locked (TVL)
• Stablecoin marketcap
• DEX volume
• Bridge net flow

Additional views include:

• Usage: transactions and transaction fees, average daily active addresses, average daily new addresses, and average daily returning addresses
• DeFi: TVL, stablecoin marketcap, DEX volume, bridge net flow, bridge deposit volume, bridge withdraw volume, and options volume
• Contracts: total contract calls, new contracts deployed, average daily active contracts, average daily new contracts called, average daily returning contracts called, and average daily unique contract callers

At the bottom of each table is a Total column which provides the total of each column's metric across all tracked networks.

Note that Other Networks is an aggregated group of networks which Messari doesn't yet fully support. Hover over this group's associated tooltip icon to see which networks are included.

Chart Format

Switch to the Chart format by selecting Charts in the upper left corner. The Chart format includes the same data as that found in the Table format, divided into sections such as:

• Key Metrics: circulating marketcap, transaction fees, daily transactions, daily active addresses, TVL, stablecoin marketcap, and DEX volume
• Usage: new and returning addresses, successful transactions, and unsuccessful transactions
• Contracts: total contract calls, new contracts deployed, active contracts, new contracts called, returning contracts called, and unique contract callers

Hover over the tooltip i icons to learn more about the metrics being measured. You can also interact with the charts by highlighting or excluding networks using the chart’s interactive legend.

Sort & Filter Networks

Sort

In the Table format, the Networks dataset is sorted by 30D Transaction Fees by default. You can click on column headers to sort by other metrics.

Filter

You can filter networks in both the Table and Chart formats using the following methods:

Table Format Filters:

• Search Networks: Search by network name or use the dropdown menus for assets and watchlists.
• Timespan: Use the Span dropdown to filter data by timespan. It begins on 30D by default. Other options include 7D, 90D, 180D, 1Y, and 3Y.

Chart Format Filters:

• Select Networks: The charts include 5 networks by default. Add or remove networks using the dropdown or the x icon next to a network's name.
• Timespan: As with the table format, filter data by timespan using the Span dropdown.
• Chart-specific filters Click on a network name in the legend to include or exclude it from a chart.

Learn More About a Network

In Table format, click on a network’s name to open the preview panel, which includes important 30D change metrics and charts.

Hot Tips & Best Practices

• Use the tooltip i icons next to column headers or chart titles for additional details.
• You can access a network’s data from its Project Page by clicking on Network Fundamentals and Statements.
• The average or total sum for each metric is provided in the last row in the Table format.
• Other Networks includes networks that Messari does not fully support. Hover over its tooltip i icon for more details.
• Keyboard shortcuts in preview panel:
  • Previous asset K
  • Next asset J
  • Close preview panel Esc

Datasets FAQs

Can I save the filters and groups I've applied to an Asset dataset?

You cannot save customizations made to an Asset dataset. Use the Asset Screener tool to create and save custom filters and views.

How can I compare Network data across chains?

The Networks Dataset allows you to compare key metrics across supported networks in either the table or chart format and over various timespans. With the Network dataset, you can analyze performance differences and identify trends across the blockchain ecosystem.

Which exchanges does Messari track?

To view the full list of centralized (CEXes) and decentralized exchanges (DEXes) that Messari tracks, navigate to the Datasets tab in the top menu and select Exchanges. Learn more about Messari's Exchanges Dataset here.

How up-to-date is the trading activity that Messari tracks?

Messari aims to provide users with accurate and up-to-date trading data. On an exchange's Exchange page or All Markets page, users can quickly determine whether a unique asset pair's data is live, stale, or inactive thanks to the Liveness icon adjacent to the pair's name. Trading data can be either live, stale or inactive:

• Live: Messari has received trades from this market within the last 10 minutes
• Stale: Messari has not received a trade from this market over the last 10 minutes, but it has traded over the last 24 hours
• Inactive: Messari has not received a trade from this market in over 24 hours
