Rootstock and Footprint Analytics: Powering DeFi Ecosystem Growth with Data-Driven Insights

Footprint Analytics - Aug 2 - - Dev Community

Rootstock is a pioneering blockchain platform secured by 60% of the hashing power that underpins Bitcoin. This dual-mining capability allows users to mine on both Bitcoin and Rootstock simultaneously without any additional effort or resources. Rootstock is EVM compatible, enabling the deployment of Ethereum smart contracts directly on its network. The platform features Powpeg, a proof-of-work secured, two-way peg that adheres to Bitcoin consensus rules, allowing seamless conversion between BTC and RBTC. Users can leverage their RBTC to interact with a vast array of decentralized applications built on Rootstock.

The Challenges: Meeting the Demand for Precise DeFi Data Analysis

DeFi is a critical component of the Rootstock ecosystem. As more DeFi projects are integrated into Rootstock, the demand for precise data analysis becomes increasingly urgent. Rootstock contributors and community members require comprehensive data insights to make informed, data-driven decisions. Specifically, they need to monitor key metrics related to DEX activity on Rootstock, such as TVL, trading volume, the number of traders, and the number of transactions. However, many data platforms do not support Rootstock’s volume-related data and lack the capability for in-depth analysis, making it challenging to observe and track project growth effectively.
Meanwhile, obtaining comprehensive data through traditional methods is often a cumbersome and time-consuming process. It involves going through multiple steps and can be quite inefficient. To address this issue and streamline its operations, it was important for the Rootstock community to integrate an API solution that would provide real-time data access seamlessly and efficiently.
