Blockscout Stats: Analyze Data from your Favourite Chains

The blockchain ecosystem relies on transparency and real-time access to data, which allows builders, data analysts, and researchers to interpret information from blockchain networks. Blockscout is at the forefront of this movement, providing users with an interface to view and analyze blockchain data effectively.

Blockscout stats (statistics) offer comprehensive access to a range of detailed blockchain data, including key metrics on accounts, transactions, and contracts. Users can explore and analyze this data through various filtering options, enabling them to narrow their focus based on specific criteria such as time frames and types of data.

This capability fosters more informed decision-making and a deeper understanding of blockchain activities. Additionally, Blockscout provides visual representations of the data, making it easier to interpret Trends and patterns within the specific blockchain.

Example Using Blockscout Stats

Using Blockscout stats, we can generate a simple chart using chatGPT. 

For this example, let’s compare the average transaction fee vs the average gas price for a 3-month period

Download the CSV files for the stats and ask ChatGPT to generate a chart comparing them.

Here’s the comparison of average transaction fees (blue) and average gas prices (orange) over a 3-month period. The trends show how changes in gas prices correlate with transaction fees.
