Near Protocol is a layer 1 blockchain network. It provides a platform on which developers can build decentralized applications (dapps). The most successful layer 1 blockchain is Ethereum, so protocols like Near are seen as challengers.

In this bounty we were asked to show the most common actions taken by users on NEAR (new users using NEAR for the first time) over the past 3 months.

I showed the top 10 actions(methods) based on number of new users that had used it, and also showed the first action that new users do just after depositing to Near, in last 90 days.

First lets check number of new users in the last 90 days:

\n

In total, more than 206 K new users had joined Near in last 90 days.

The highest number of new users, had joined Near in the first two weeks of July. In the next week, this number decreased more than 1/5, but in next weeks it started to grew again.

July had the highest number of new users in last 3 months.

By defining tx_signers as new users and checking number of tx_signers in each method, we reach to number of users and transactions for each method(action).

In the two above charts, I sorted the top 10 actions with highest number of new users, and showed the number of transactions and users for these actions:

Based on this, “create account“ and ‘‘add login” were the actions with highest number of new users, but these two actions did not gain the highest number of transactions between other actions. “transfer call“ action, had the highest number of transactions between other actions with highest number of users.

In the two above charts, I sorted the top 10 actions with highest number of transactions and showed the number of transactions and users for these actions:

Based on this, “submiting“ by far, had the highest number of transactions, while ‘add login‘ and ‘storage deposit’ were actions that had the highest number of users between other actions with highest number of transaction.

In the below chart, you can see the top 10 action that new users do, exactly after depositing to Near:

Based on above chart, the first actions that new users do after depositing to Near,(based on number of transactions) was ‘draw‘ and ‘create account’ action, respectively, in last 90 days.
