Dune
Lets you write SQL against indexed data from 100+ chains and check a claim yourself rather than trusting a dashboard. The community dashboards vary wildly in quality, and since 10 Sep 2026 free accounts created before 21 Jul 2026 can read but not query, so checking a claim now usually costs from $65 a month.
Best for: Querying on-chain data directly, without taking anyone’s word for it

No custody and no key access. Read-only on public chain data.
Since 10 Sep 2026 free accounts created before 21 Jul 2026 are view-only and cannot run queries. Running your own queries now means Analyst at $65 a month or Plus at $349 a month, billed annually, per press coverage of the pricing page.
Established company with clear terms and transparent data provenance.
Indexed data with strong chain coverage and published provenance. Query performance is documented to degrade on heavy workloads.
Requires SQL, and since 10 Sep 2026 older free accounts can only read dashboards. Community dashboards are uneven and there is no quality signal distinguishing a careful one from a careless one.
Strengths
- Lets you verify an on-chain claim yourself rather than trusting a summary
- Indexed data with broad chain coverage and published provenance
- Large library of community work to build from
Against it
- Requires SQL to get real value
- Community dashboard quality varies with no visible quality signal
- Free accounts created before 21 Jul 2026 are view-only since 10 Sep 2026
Check the claim yourself, now for a fee
Dune lets you write SQL against indexed data from more than 100 chains, which turns "a protocol says its TVL is X" into something you can verify rather than accept. That capability is the reason it belongs in this table.
Since 10 Sep 2026 free accounts created before 21 Jul 2026 are view-only and cannot run queries, so verifying a claim yourself now starts at the Analyst plan, $65 a month billed annually, with Plus at $349. The community dashboard library is large and uneven, with no visible signal separating a careful query from a careless one.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need SQL to use Dune?+
To get real value, yes. You can read community dashboards without it, but their quality varies enormously and there is no indicator telling you which are sound.
Is Dune free?+
For reading dashboards. Since 10 Sep 2026 free accounts created before 21 Jul 2026 are view-only and cannot run queries. Running your own queries means Analyst at $65 a month or Plus at $349 a month, billed annually, according to press coverage of the pricing.
Is Dune data accurate?+
The underlying indexed chain data is accurate with published provenance. What varies is the queries written against it: a dashboard is only as good as its author’s understanding of the schema, and Dune surfaces no quality signal for that.
