Half of the 2nd tranche is gone🫵 If you participated in 1st tranche, you can redeem now or roll into 2nd tranche with higher yield and optionality to use it as collateral later.
Today we are announcing that we are making the @Dune free plan view only. Meaning you can still look at all the amazing dashboards on Dune, but not run queries without a paid plan. The simple reason is that compute costs for running flexible queries over large amounts of data is very costly. We will still offer incredible value for money self-serve plans at $65 and $349 per month where you have access to vast amounts of blockchain data with completely serverless and hassle free querying. You can also try our very popular and powerful Plus plan on a 14 day trial when you sign up for a free account.
For years Dune has had a very generous free plan including free compute an data access. Hundreds of thousands of users have queried blockchain data with Dune, and millions of people have been exploring the dashboards created. We know of hundreds of users that have built a data career on top of Dune, and there are likely many more. We are grateful to everyone that’s been exploring this data together with us. I’m proud and humbled that we’ve gone from @mewwts, me, some blockchain data in a postgres db and a few users in a Telegram channel, to reaching millions with the Dune platform and community.
During Dune’s 8+ years in business countless data providers have come and gone. And I can tell you that what is worse than losing access to free compute is to lose your mission critical data provider all together. The reason why we’ve been able to stick around, and will keep sticking around, is because we adjust to the market. Thousands of industry leading businesses rely on Dune for their blockchain data, and they can safely keep doing that.
Some have called these plan changes the end of an era. And that might be right, but I think the new era is going to be bigger and more exciting. The blockchain industry is now mature enough that businesses and financial institutions are coming onchain at a blistering pace. Dune is all in on empowering them with onchain data. During this new era Dune data will keep reaching millions of people, businesses and AIs in our mission to make onchain finance observable.
The previous HOLLAR Bond at 7%+ APR sold out.
The new round starts at around 8% APR, with a fresh 90-day term.
So the question is simple:
How long until this one sells out too? 👀

@sandeepnailwal every project with inflation above 2% (probably 0% for crypto) is kicking their token holders in the balls, price is doomed
every single project like that will have couple of tokenomic overhauls until they land on the overhaul that was initially advised
End of an era?
Seems like @Dune's free plan is going view-only.
Bittersweet. Dune took me from zero to a full-time onchain analyst. A lot of us started on that free tier.
I get that it’s not free infra… but how do we keep onchain data open and help the next wave of analysts?
Dune sunsetting their free plan is kinda sad.
It helped me practice my onchain skills back then. I stopped using dune when their paid plans credits were not enough for the things that I did and moved on to indexing tables myself.
Probably also hard for Dune’s business model to maintain free tiers, especially in this AI age. Costs must be too much.

(Extremely painful experience editing this image with Grok who was obsessed with keeping Nicholas Cage’s face with my hat and in the end we got this random guy’s face)
I am but there’s also:
- 2s blocks upgrade any day now
- new round of HOLLAR fixed-yield bonds (BIGGER tranche and BIGGER yield)
- GIGAHDX HOLLAR borrow cap -> 500K
- Omnipool asset and POL consolidation
- moon
GIGAHDX has been sitting at its HOLLAR borrowing ceiling for a while
Referendum 386 proposes more than doubling the capacity to 500,000 HOLLAR
If past demand is any indication, that extra capacity may get put to work fast
