TLDR; We are writing a 5-part series on “10x analytics” using the CryptoKitties’
blockchain dataset. We’ve combined on-chain Ethereum transaction data with
off-chain API data to deep-dive into their business model and revenue metrics
behind the game. We’ve also open-sourced the SQL code behind the analysis if you
want to follow along. 😍
CryptoKitties is one of the most popular games on the Ethereum blockchain.
Players collect and breed kitties, which are unique digital assets. Ownership is
tracked via the Ethereum blockchain and a network of smart contracts allow for
buying, selling and breeding of these digital assets.
Fortunately for us, the game is completely decentralized and all the player data
lives on the Ethereum blockchain. The data on the blockchain is pretty
disorganized, but we can use a tool like Covalent to make that data more
understandable to a mere data analyst like myself.
