Blockchain Data Analytics: Review and Challenges
Abstract
The integration of blockchain technology with data analytics is essential for extracting insights in the cryptocurrency space. Although academic literature on blockchain data analytics is limited, various industry solutions have emerged to address these needs. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review, drawing from both academic research and industry applications. We classify blockchain analytics tools into categories such as block explorers, on-chain data providers, research platforms, and crypto market data providers. Additionally, we discuss the challenges associated with blockchain data analytics, including data accessibility, scalability, accuracy, and interoperability. Our findings emphasize the importance of bridging academic research and industry innovations to advance blockchain data analytics.
