# Ecosystems
# **Ecosystems Dataset Overview**
Use Messari's Ecosystems Dataset to explore entities, assets, and investors across chains. With pre-built views, custom filtering, and useful preview panels, users can deep-dive into a network's projects and investors to learn more about what's being built and who's funding what.
This page includes a step-by-step guide on getting the most from Messari's **Ecosystems Dataset**.
# **Access Ecosystems**
Access the Ecosystems Dataset by going to the `Datasets` tab and selecting `Ecosystems`.
# **Datasets & Views**
## **Choose an Ecosystem**
The Ecosystems Dataset is categorized by network and opens, by default, in the Ethereum Ecosystem. Additional networks are located in the left-side navigation menu.
## **Choose a Dataset**
Each ecosystem features 3 datasets that cover:
* Assets
* Investors
* Funded Entities
Each dataset covers a variety of related metrics. Learn more about Messari's [Fundraising Methodology](/glossary/fundraising-taxonomy) and [Classification System](/glossary/classification-system) here.
### **Assets**
Each ecosystem's Assets dataset includes 5 pre-built views that highlight specific information.
These views cannot be customized directly, but you can re-create them using the [Asset Screener](https://docs.messari.io/user-guides/messari-features/asset-screener) tool for more flexibility.
The Assets dataset opens in the **Overview** view by default, which contains metrics such as:
* Price performance over multiple time periods

Additional views:
