The Ethereum Foundation is pleased to announce the winners of the Data Fusion Challenge 🐼.
The challenge ran for about 9 weeks around the merge, allowing data analysts to collect and review information before and after the big event. Participants submitted a treasure trove of data and analysis in 45 (!) different blog posts.
Have fun browsing through the many ideas, and since everything is open source, feel free to open source things and extend/modify the analysis!

The Merge Data Challenge has produced some great new tools, analyses, and visualizations. That said, there is still work to be done to monitor and understand Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, particularly in the Beacon Chain consensus layer.
If you are interested in further developing or putting into production the tools and techniques presented in these submissions, please consider applying to the Ecosystem Support Program!
