Topics:Public Blockchain Analytics
All cryptocurrencies by design are built on public blockchains (aka public distributed ledgers), otherwise they would be simply private ledgers. The data in these blockchains are not easy to access or understand. A group of open source developers are working on Blockchain ETL, a project to make the data accessible and amenable to analysis. We'll take a look at the details of what this project does and how it works, as well as what the resulting data can be used for.
