growthepie.com 🥧📏 is a data platform designed specifically for Ethereum and its scaling solutions to analyze fundamentals, more detailed blockspace usage and application metrics with a curated set of categories.

Our goal is to empower developers and users alike by providing them with a comprehensive overview of fundamental metrics, onchain data, and educational resources, to help them make informed decisions when selecting their chain to build and interact on in the entire Ethereum ecosystem. We believe that real-world impact can only be achieved when people can select and use projects that fulfill their actual needs and when they know what’s out there. We achieve this through better transparency and overview of what’s happening in the Ethereum ecosystem.

The platform is and will stay free to use forever, striving to improve everyday through better UX and meaningful data. We do not have any VC funding or angel investment, nor do we have any subscription fee to access more data by individual users. All data can be seen and used (also via our API) free of charge. We are also completely open-source.

In short

Platform Capabilities:

Ecosystem metrics, with real-time TPS and fees tracking, including Ethereum L1 and 30+ of its Layer 2s.
Metrics and Chain Comparisons: We provide key metrics categorized into Activity, Value Locked, Economics, and Convenience.
Blockspace Explorer: This tool offers a detailed overview of blockspace usage across different Layer 2 chains showing how each chain is being used.
Single Chain Metrics: Comprehensive, chain-specific pages that showcase all metrics for a particular chain.
Public Goods Trackers: We develop and maintain several public goods trackers, like Octant Epochs, and Glo Dollar holdings.

Our goals and usage of funds 🚀

Showing with much more convenience that the Ethereum ecosystem is one, interoperable space where users can have the freedom to use and build whatever is needed and finds real-world use cases.
Building out more Application-specific analytics: We want to go one level deeper and enable users to analyze individual projects in much more detail than currently, for example their traction on Ethereum and different Layer 2s, fees of using them on either, etc.
More convenient analytics and sharing features: We continue to improve the UX to enable better analytics of metrics and chains, comparisons and also sharing of charts and tables for your own usage
Addition of more current and upcoming chains in the Ethereum ecosystem

What can you do on our platform currently? 🧐

Currently, we provide a curated and easy-to-understand set of metrics for Ethereum L1, and its Layer 2s, with more than 30+ chains: Arbitrum One, Base Chain, OP Mainnet, Soneium, World Chain, Immutable X, Linea, Manta Pacific, Mantle, Metis, Polygon zkEVM, Scroll, Starknet, Taiko Alethia, zkSync Era, Zora and many more. All data has been pulled via RPC, some has been received from data providers or is linked to other sources. However, we are changing more and more to connecting our own RPC for better data quality and reliability.

Fundamental metrics Analysis

Activity

Active Addresses: The number of unique daily addresses that interacted with a chain.
Transaction Count: The number of daily transactions. We try to only count transactions that are executed by users/smart contracts, excluding system transactions.
Throughput: A chain's throughput measured in gas per second. We only include EVM equivalent Layer 2 gas usage.

Value Locked

Stablecoin Supply: The sum of stablecoins that are locked on the chain.
Total Value Locked: The sum of all funds locked on the chain.

Economics

Application Revenue: The total amount of fees that applications charge their users per chain (this does not include gas fees). This metric shows how much value applications capture from users.
Chain Revenue: The sum of fees that were paid by users of the chain in gas fees or, in the case of chains like Immutable X, the amount of fees that were paid to the protocol wallet.
Rent Paid to L1: The gas fees paid by L2s to post transaction data & verification states onto Ethereum.
Onchain Profit: The net profit of L2s, accounting for revenues as L2 gas fees collected and expenses as posting transaction data & verification states onto Ethereum.
Fully Diluted Valuation: The theoretical market cap of a token if all its planned tokens (total supply) were issued at the current price.
Market Cap: The total value of all circulating tokens, calculated by multiplying the current price of a single token by the total number of tokens in circulation.

Convenience

Transaction Costs: The median amount that is paid per transaction.

fees.growthepie.com

We developed a dedicated Layer 2 fees page to provide up-to-date data on what users pay on Layer 2s for specific interactions.

Blockspace Explorer

With one rollup launching after the other, it is hard for users to understand what’s going on in the Ethereum ecosystem. Helping to analyze blockspace changes this trajectory.

Our platform offers the following to Ethereum’s ecosystem:

An overview of chains’ high-level blockspace usage. All expressed in shares of a chain’s total blockspace. In simple words: For which purpose are these Layers 2s built and what do people do with them?
A comparison for available Layer 2s for their usage in specific categories, ranging from NFT, Token Transfers to Socials applications. For each of these and more categories, we have a set of subcategories that allow you to filter in more detail and compare which category is more used on which chain.
For each category/subcategory, users can see the most-used smart contracts ranked in a table and make sense of how the chain is being used

Single Chain Metrics All-in-One

You can compare chains amongst each other with all the metrics mentioned. Additionally, you have chain-specific pages that allow you to have a glance at all metrics for a chain at once.

The team (brief intro of each member) 👥

Matthias: Started to work in the blockchain/EVM space 5 years ago with his master thesis on the “Implementation of blockchain-based local energy markets”. He worked on grants for projects like Uniswap, starting growthepie.xyz as an Ethereum Foundation grant, and now also working for a crypto fund - supporting on the data due dilligence side of things.
Manish: With a solid background in software engineering, Manish has hands-on experience in developing user-friendly applications and working with blockchain technologies, as evidenced by his work on DogeAPI, a cryptocurrency payment platform.
Tobias: Background in product design as well as education & training for innovation and Design Thinking, for example designing and delivering educational courses for founders for Tech Open Air Berlin.
Mike: Recent graduate and very skilled full-stack developer, currently mostly working on frontend related tasks.
Lorenz: Student at RWTH Aachen University and founder of the Aachen Blockchain Club. His extensive knowledge about blockchain technology is of great value and he supports us with research and data related tasks.
Ahoura: Another FH Aachen student and member of the blockchain club there. He was previously active in the Cosmos ecosystem but he’s learning more and more about Ethereum’s scaling solutions. He supports mainly with regards to social media and content creation.
ETH Wave: Strong background and Ethereum OG, taking care of communications, social media, data curation and frontend implementation.
