Summary
In conclusion, this chapter delved into the world of on-chain data, which serves as the primary data source in Web3. We started the chapter by dissecting individual transactions and gaining insights into their structure and components. This understanding was further expanded as we explored the anatomy of blocks.
Moving forward, we delved into an analysis of state data. By examining state variables and their significance, we gained a deeper understanding of how data is stored and accessed within a blockchain.

From widely used block explorers such as Etherscan to powerful APIs such as Infura, Moralis, and Covalent, and SQL-accessible tables such us Dune and Flipside, we built a comprehensive list of resources that grant us access to on-chain data. Each provider offers unique features, data formats, and querying capabilities, allowing us to tailor our approach based on the specific...
