Do you trust blockchain data more when companies fund public analytics dashboards?
The Arbitrum Foundation has introduced a new credit program for analysts to build and maintain public dashboards on the Dune platform. Participants receive 2,500 credits per month to query and analyze network data.
Why it matters
By subsidizing data access, the Foundation aims to expand the volume of transparent, public-facing research available for the Arbitrum ecosystem. This shift lowers the barrier to entry for operators monitoring network activity and smart-contract performance.
The new program provides 2,500 Dune credits per month to analysts. This initiative complements existing foundation efforts that cover smart-contract audit costs.
The players
Arbitrum Foundation
An entity focused on the development and governance of the Arbitrum network.
The details
Analysts utilize these credits to query complex network data and publish insights via public dashboards on Dune. The program specifically targets those creating and maintaining public-facing analysis related to the Arbitrum ecosystem. By reducing the cost of data retrieval, the Foundation effectively offloads a portion of the operational expense required to maintain network transparency.

Market Landscape
The new credit program extends the Arbitrum Foundation's existing strategy of subsidizing ecosystem services, which already includes coverage for smart-contract audit costs. It follows a consistent pattern of lowering operational overhead to incentivize third-party developer and analyst participation.
Operators and data analysts should evaluate the cost-savings potential of using these credits for ongoing network monitoring or competitive benchmarking. If your team relies on Arbitrum network data, track how these dashboards influence your visibility into smart-contract usage trends.
The takeaway
The program lowers the operational cost of deep-chain analysis for the Arbitrum network. Monitor public dashboard updates in the coming quarter to identify emerging metrics or patterns that could inform your own product or service development strategy.
