Intro

With the Merge going through successfully, Ethereum has changed permanently. If you are not familiar with the details, here's a good primer. The new process for adding transactions to the chain has significant trade-offs with respect to energy usage, MEV, censorship-resistance and centralization.

The data is crucial to monitor, track and interpret progress of these dimensions. This post intends to provide a coherent library of twitter accounts, dashboards, data tools and other lists. We will do our best to keep it up to date, although this space moves very quickly.

If you have feedback, additions or questions, feel free to reach out.

Glossary

Types

There are four types of resources:

1. Twitter accounts to follow to understand the space (excl. accounts of the dashboards), e.g., @blink_labs_xyz

2. Dashboards of live data, e.g., ultrasound.money

3. Repos of tools you can use to extract data yourself

4. Meta-lists which are lists in themselves
