This is a call for some help consolidating numbers from across the ecosystem for treasury funded initiatives, ideally from the teams themselves, but also from any independent researchers on the analytics side.
There is no agenda other than through my own frustration trying to figure out just where usage is happening, in what form and how each group establish / track and report their figures, since there is no consolidated reporting.
Without this, we are all wandering around in a fog, with everyone picking and choosing numbers to suit their own narratives, which is fine, but doesn’t really help us collectively.
Right now, we don’t really have a clue of the consolidated impact of 3 years treasury funding in Kusama, and it would be great to get some rough figures that everyone can sort of agree on.
There has been a bunch of useful work by teams from Parity @Karim, @sourabhniyogi and @dataPhysicist around standardising data, but when it comes to end users of apps/experiences/media funded via the treasury, it’s a bit of a black box.
Some starting points
This is the latest data for DAUs in the ecosystem from Substrate ETL courtesy of @sourabhniyogi and here’s how that number is calculated:
Active Accounts (Substrate): Accounts that have signed an extrinsic on a Substrate chain
.
Nova Stats
@AntonTheDay7 / Nova report having 50,000 MAUs across App store and Android.
Are there any other useful figures you have?
What number of addresses does 50,000 MAUs equate to for example?
Polkadot Forum stats
Just as a point of interest, here are the numbers for this forum.
Treasury teams
Would be great if you could share your own metrics and methods for calculating those here, then we can aggregate that, maybe try and cross-reference and at least get a sense of usage.
Just throw the numbers down in this as comments to begin with then we can maybe pull a simple spreadsheet together.
