What Dune is useful for
Dune lets analysts query blockchain data with SQL and publish the results as charts and dashboards. For on-chain prediction markets, that can support research into volume, active addresses, position flows, market creation and settlement activity.
Dune is not a broker, oracle or guarantee that a chart's definition is correct. A dashboard is a model built from selected tables, filters and labels. Its author, query date and assumptions matter.
A verification workflow
- Open the chart's underlying query and read the metric definition.
- Check the covered chain, contracts, date range, time zone and refresh time.
- Look for duplicate-event, token-decimal, wash-volume and migration handling.
- Compare totals with the venue's own API or another independent query.
- Fork the query and test a small known date or market before relying on it.
Useful research questions
Market health
Track volume and active-user trends, but distinguish notional volume from unique capital and open interest.
Trader behavior
Study wallet activity cautiously. One person can control multiple wallets, and a wallet label can be wrong.
Resolution analysis
Measure outcomes by price bucket and time to expiry while avoiding survivorship and selection bias.
Cross-platform context
On-chain and API-fed datasets may use different definitions, so comparisons need a shared methodology.
Official and curated starting points
Dune's current terms describe public SQL queries, charts and dashboards, with programmatic access handled through its API service. Review Dune's official documentation before automating or republishing data.
99market already catalogs individual dashboards. Browse Dunedata, filarm and the searchable partners directory rather than treating one dashboard as authoritative.
Frequently asked questions
Can I trade prediction markets through Dune?
No. Dune is an analytics and query platform, not a prediction-market execution venue.
Do I need SQL to use Dune dashboards?
No for viewing public dashboards. SQL is useful when you want to inspect, fork or change a query rather than accept a chart at face value.
Is every prediction-market metric available on-chain?
No. Off-chain order books, canceled orders, identity checks, private user data and some centralized venues are not fully represented by public blockchain transactions.
