#756 Creating The New Standard For On-Chain Metrics w/ Artem Lazarev & Andy Bohutsky
- On-chain analytics democratizes market data previously available only to institutional investors, leveling the playing field for retail traders and investors.
- Whalemap uses distributed Bitcoin nodes across regions to collect real-time transaction data and analyzes UTXO technology to identify support and resistance levels where large wallets accumulate coins.
- Mempool analytics represents the next frontier, allowing traders to detect pending transactions before block confirmation, providing early warning signals of whale activity (e.g., large exchange deposits).
- The company employs a Web3-native business model using token staking to fund platform development and offer free or subsidized access to premium features, contrasting with traditional freemium SaaS models used by competitors like Glassnode and CryptoQuant.
- Large wallet inflows, NPL (Net Profit/Loss) charts, and volume profiles help traders identify panic-selling conditions and support/resistance zones with actionable precision.
- DeFi analytics remain underdeveloped; Whalemap sees opportunity in tracking underlying smart contract performance and token distribution to provide fundamental data on altcoins and protocol health.
