Introduction
What is OP?
OP coin is the governance coin of Optimism network. The main use of OP coin is the ability to create and manage multi-signature accounts as well as participate in governance processes in this network.
The Optimism network will go towards decentralization after the OP coin is distributed and applied. With the decentralization of the Optimism network, it is possible for users to play a role in creating blocks and performing transactions as network nodes, and also to participate effectively in Optimism's governance decisions.
Op Bull vs Bear Market
Op token has experienced a bull market and a bear market during the months of July and August. This token went from $0.45 to $2 on August 4 during a price rally that started on July 13. It reached $1 during a bear market with a price drop of about $1.
Dashboard Purpose
In this dashboard, we are going to examine two stages of Op's price changes. We will examine the two price markets that Op Token experienced during the months of July and August.
We want to see the effects of these two types of markets on the Optimism network and what changes have been made in the activities of this network.
Methodology
During this dashboard, the price changes of Op Token during July 13 to August 26 have been divided into 2 bullish and bearish markets, and the activities carried out on the Optimism network during these two types of markets have been analyzed.
Checking the transactions and behavior of users as well as the income from fees in Optimism network has been called using the optimism.core.fact_transactions
table. The behaviors related to swaps in terms of transactions and swappers have been called from the optimism.core.fact_event_logs
table, and since Velodrome is the most important dex of the Optimism network, the behavior of users during 2 types of markets has also been examined on this platform.
The optimism.core.ez_nft_sales
table has been used to call the data related to NFT sales in Optimism network, and the behavior of NFT sales has been extracted from the data of this table.
And the activities related to the bridge in the entry and exit of assets were investigated in two types of markets in this way. For this investigation, the ethereum.core.ez_token_transfers
table from the Ethereum database was used and by using the address contracts of the entry and exit between the Ethereum mainnet and the Optimism network, the data related to the bridge of assets from Ethereum to Optimism and from Optimism to Ethereum were explored in two types of markets.
observations
As we can see, the income from the fee is almost the same in the 2 types of markets, and because more transactions have been made in the bull market, the income from the network fee in this market has been about 4 Ether more.
observations
