Data

So I'm trying to figure out who the best traders on Farcaster are - out of hundreds of thousands of users. What are the main challenges?

First - the data. I mostly use Dune since it's the biggest source of blockchain data with rich context - but it's far from plug-and-play. Blockchain data is messy, and Dune queries often need cleanup or deeper knowledge to make sense. Even something that sounds simple - like getting DEX swaps for a wallet - turns into a whole project if you want to be accurate.

Second - figuring out what metrics actually matter. How do you calculate PnL, and over what timeline, tokens, chains etc. A high total PnL might come from a one-time airdrop - not consistent skill. From what I've seen, past big wins don’t mean much - what really matters is whether the trader's still active and knows when to take profits.


I've gone through many iterations of the algo, and I'm still refining it. But so far, the most useful approach is looking on the freshest metrics. 

Anyone cracked this already?

no but curious to see the list of your top traders :)

btw doing a list of top airdrop receivers (not fc, in general) would be interesting as well, as a side project dune dashboard
