About Dune

Dune is on a mission to make crypto data accessible. We’re a collaborative multi-chain analytics platform used by thousands of developers, analysts, & investors to understand the on-chain world and the frontiers of finance. We’re a team of ~50 employees,  working together across Europe and eastern US timezones 🌍️. We believe in our mission, and in building a powerful, open product that allows individuals and communities to do deep research into important ecosystems like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more. 

We’re backed by some of the world’s best investors. In February 2022, we announced our Series B funding round led by Coatue and Union Square Ventures, an important milestone that allowed us to double down on our mission. We’re using the funds to educate, reward and empower a new generation of onchain analysts aka Wizards 🧙‍♀️

What we are building

Blockchain data, like many open data sources, requires extensive domain knowledge to wrangle it into useful formats before one can derive value from it. We are building a collaborative open-source ETL for blockchain data, Spellbook. In addition to this we also build several custom pipelines that drive some of the most popular and impactful datasets on Dune, such as labels, prices and balances.

• Understand and prioritize the needs of our diverse community from amateur data sleuths to professional data scientists and engineers.
