Inspiration

Data turned into visual stories and insights can lead to enormous impacts. I am inspired to build a visualizer tool to help users make sense of Wormhole data easily so that they can find answers and insights within the state of Wormhole and build wonderful use-cases on top of Wormhole.

What it does

The visualizer tool has 3 simple but powerful capabilities:

  1. Flows - visualize overall flows inside Wormhole for different durations (all time, 30 days, etc) using circular flows chart (chord diagram) and more simplified linear flows chart (sankey diagram).
  2. Coins Compare - compare and analyze side-by-side of flows of various coins (i.e: how are leading coins (SOL, ETH, LUNA) of various chains get transferred in comparison to one another?)
  3. Coins Treemap - dig deeper into transfer patterns of various coins within various network in relation to volumes of one another. (i.e: which chains are transferring which coins to Solana? which coins are transferred to where from Solana?)

How we built it

Simple web frontend using a charting library and JSON data extracted from Wormhole's bigtable.

Challenges we ran into

As Wormhole data APIs are not public yet, I needed to figure out how to index and grab data from various contract addresses. After prototyping in a few ways, I decided to peek into the bigtable dataset and build on top of it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Ready-to-use visualizer tool https://wormhole-flows.netlify.app/ built within short timeframe

What we learned

  1. immense volume of value flows inside Wormhole
  2. interesting relations among various chains (a peek into the future of Multi-chains)
  3. how data can empower decisions and actions

What's next for Flows of Wormhole

  1. let users use and improve with feedbacks
  2. build a Wormhole indexer with easy data APIs (i.e: thegraph.com)
  3. build a low-code Wormhole data dashboard builder (i.e: dune.xyz)
  4. Add social elements (i.e: social media embeds, data stories)
