BigZ designed the Drift Dune Analytics dashboard as a comprehensive resource for monitoring key performance indicators, such as the number of new and returning users, active user counts, and transaction totals. Among the many useful charts and metrics available, we particularly enjoy the "new driftv2oors" chart, which clearly displays new users in orange bars and the total number of Drift v2 users in a purple line above.
One of the standout features of the Dune Analytics dashboard is the detailed view of daily transaction activity on Drift. This metric not only includes trades but also encompasses a wide range of other actions such as borrowing and staking, providing a comprehensive overview of all on-platform activity.
