Track contract interactions with a query like SELECT COUNT(*) as calls, DATE(block_time) FROM ethereum.traces WHERE to = <contract_address> AND type = 'call' GROUP BY date. Create a Dune dashboard to visualize call trends, reflecting developer and user activity. For example, a dashboard for a layer-1 like Optimism can show contract call growth, indicating ecosystem adoption. Community dashboards on Dune (e.g., for Polygon or Arbitrum) often track similar metrics. High and rising contract calls suggest a thriving project, increasing its value.
