Introduction
As we know, Ethereum network is composed of multiple nodes and users can connect through these nodes. So, once connected users can create transactions and send them to the network through these nodes. Now, once a node receives an incoming transaction, it will actually send that to all other nodes. So, a single transaction from a user to a single node is essentially going to propagate through the entire network until every single node receives that incoming transaction. Where as, A Block can simply be defined as a list or group of transactions so either way once a node has a block of transactions, which will begin validating and executing those transactions and by validating, we can ensure that the data is properly formatted that the user included enough fees.
The aim of this dashboard is to analyze the NFTs market trend i.e. a retrospective of NFT market in 2022 assessed in terms of sales volume, most NFTs listed for sale on exchange, least amount of NFTs listed for sale on an exchange, NFT project gained the most value this year, NFTs had the longest hold time this year etc.. with supporting graphs or visuals.
What are NFTs ?
In general, NFTs stands for Non-fungible tokens, where in Non-fungible can be defined as something that cannot be exchanged for another item because its unique. For example, one piece of Art is not equal to another as both will have unique properties.
Basically, NFTs are tokens that lives or survives on a blockchain and represent ownership of unique items. These NFT tokens in general will contain bit of information specific to it, such as unique token name, symbol etc.. and will be owned by the creator or artist of that token.
These NFT tokens will be sold by performing sell & buy transactions on the particular blockchain.
Methodology
In this dashboard, we will analyze the retrospective of NFT market on Ethereum chain in the year 2022, assessed in terms of below metrics:

The data for this analysis has been derived using ethereum.core.ez_nft_sales table based on the timestamp starting 1st January 2022.
