We’ve recently released the “Editor’s Pick” badge to dashboards on Dune, where certain dashboards will get amplified by the Dune team for exemplary work. These dashboards will appear at the top of discovery and search on the Dune app. We’ve hand picked 100 dashboards to start with.

The quality bar for becoming an “Editor’s Pick” is high, and something wizards should be proud of attaining. Note that it is possible to lose this badge if the dashboard consistently has misrepresented/miscalculated charts, or if it has not been kept up to date. 

Below you can find our criteria for qualification: 

‍Comprehensive Dashboard: For any given topic (protocol, blockchain, airdrop, token, etc.) the dashboard should have a strong mix of charts and tables that give both breadth and depth of context. So if you have volume and count charts, you should also have breakdowns by markets and user segments. Ideally you can break down clear labels as well of different entities or user personas, and showcase relevant metrics like retention and growth over time. 

‍Easy to Follow Charts: All your visualizations should be well formatted (axes labels, number formatting, column naming). On top of that, you should add context with text objects throughout the dashboard. The more you explain the methodology and link to resources that help the viewer better understand the topic, the easier it will be to follow. You should NOT just dump 100 charts into a dashboard and think your work is done.

‍Up to Date Information: The crypto space moves quickly, so while your dashboard may be complete when released it will likely also fall out of date over time. This is more subjective, but oftentimes if you have not touched a dashboard in six months then it’s likely no longer super relevant to the topic. Try and stay on top of things by keeping in communication with the wider ecosystem - participate in forums, on twitter, in telegram groups with the projects in the topic you’re covering to constantly learn about changes/events.

Submitting Your Dashboards for Editor’s Consideration: 

The best way to submit your work to be highlighted will be to share the dashboard publicly and tag @duneanalytics on Twitter or LinkedIn. Below is a great example of sharing work with a clear story and use case, making it easier for everyone to find it and understand it. 

We’re excited at Dune to become more involved in the curation and improvement of dashboards, and look forward to awarding more dashboards with the “Editor’s Pick” badge!
