Data & Analytics (Global)

Experience

We are Lampros DAO, a governance, data analytics, development and education collective focused on Ethereum and its Layer 2 ecosystems. We have been active since October 2023, and most of our work sits at the intersection of on-chain data, ecosystem research, and governance participation.

Below is a summary of what we have actually built and delivered that is directly relevant to this role.

Arbitrum - LTIPP Research Bounty

This is probably the closest thing we have done to what the Data & Analytics role here requires. We ran a full incentive effectiveness research program covering the Long Term Incentive Pilot Program (LTIPP) and Short Term Incentive Programs (STIP and BSTIP) across Arbitrum’s DeFi ecosystem: DEXs, bridges, perpetuals, wallets, RWAs, gaming, and infrastructure protocols. The research looked at sector growth, TVL, user retention, mercenary behavior, ARB reward usage, and spillover effects on protocols that did not even receive incentives.

The outputs included two full research reports, two statistical analysis reports (T-tests, regression, cluster analysis, synthetic controls), a Dune dashboard, Python visualizations, an ARB distribution tracking sheet, and a key takeaways document. Taking multi-source, cross-sector data and turning it into one coherent, well-sourced output is exactly the kind of work this role is asking for.

Arbitrum Orbit Chain Dashboards

We built and continue to maintain two live Dune dashboards: the Arbitrum Orbit Chains Dashboard and the Arbitrum Ecosystem Revenue from Orbit Chains Dashboard. The revenue dashboard now covers 95 Orbit chains, including chains settling on Ethereum. Since mid-2024, we have been running a weekly public data series every single week, covering top fee-generating contracts and top revenue-generating Orbit chains, without a break. We have also hosted several X Spaces and broadcasts, walking through the data and explaining what it means for delegates, builders, and treasury teams.

This matters for the DCP role specifically because consistent, structured data communication, not just building dashboards, is a big part of what the role requires.

Dune Spellbook Contributions

We have submitted PRs for 25+ protocols on Arbitrum across DEX, perpetuals, and token monitoring sectors. We have also contributed across Optimism and Base, and submitted a dedicated Arbitrum token price table PR covering 9 new tokens to improve live price coverage on Dune. These contributions go beyond dashboards; they improve the underlying data infrastructure that analysts and researchers across the ecosystem rely on.

Recognition from Dune Analytics

Dune’s official X account used visuals from our Mantle Network dashboard in one of their posts, our dashboards were featured in two consecutive Dune Digest newsletter issues (034 and 035), and two of our dashboards have trended on Dune, the Arbitrum Orbit Chains Dashboard hit #1 in June 2025, and the MegaETH Public Sale Insights Dashboard trended in October 2025.

DefiLlama Open Source Contributions

We have contributed TVL, fee, and revenue tracking for 11+ protocols and chains, including Everclear, Rari, InstaDapp, Molten Network, and others, across multiple metrics types (TVL, chain fees, protocol revenue).

Optimism: Foundation Mission Requests

We delivered the Votable Supply Framework, a Badgeholder on-chain analysis, and a comprehensive research project measuring the concentration of power in the Optimism Collective, including a frontend dashboard, an influence calculator, a full report, and supporting documentation.

NumbaNERDs Program: Optimism Collective (Seasons 4 and 7)

We completed OP Rewards deep-dive analyses for multiple protocols (Celer, Thales, Perpetual Protocol, Uniswap), governance participation analysis, OP grant distribution analysis across two seasons, contract deployer mapping, and multiple Dune Spellbook PRs across Optimism and Base.

MegaETH

We built the MegaETH Public Sale Insights Dashboard, the MegaETH Chain Overview Dashboard, and published a three-day public sale data story (report + summary deck).

Broader Ecosystem Dashboards

We have built Dune dashboards for 17+ protocols and chains beyond Arbitrum, including Solana, Sui, Linea, Rocketpool, Mantle, LayerZero, Maker Protocol, Ondo Finance, Kaia Chain, B3 Chain, Fuel Network, and others. We have also completed the Artemis Analytics Data Bounty on Solana, covering RugCheck, Solana Snipers, Pump.fun deployers, and an economic activity analysis.

All of the above, with direct links to every report, dashboard, and PR, is documented in our contributions sheet: Lampros DAO Contributions Sheet. We have included it so delegates can click through and verify everything rather than taking our word for it.

SEEDGov’s independent assessment of our work

In the Arbitrum DIP v1.7 Final Report covering May-October 2025, SEEDGov, who were the Program Manager for the DIP, named Lampros DAO as one of five exceptional contributors across the entire Arbitrum DIP program. They identified our vertical as “analytics, data visualization, Dune dashboards, and DeFi metrics” and described the Orbit Chains dashboards as “critical infrastructure for understanding the Arbitrum ecosystem.”

We are attaching a screenshot of the relevant section of that report. We are including it because an independent assessment tends to say things more clearly than a self-description ever can.

Our position in Scroll specifically

We ranked #1 on the Scroll Delegate Accelerator Program. We already follow Scroll’s governance closely, participate in discussions, and have meaningful context on what the DAO and Foundation are working toward. That context matters for this role; the Data & Analytics role is not just about producing numbers, it is about making sure those numbers are relevant and useful for Scroll’s actual decision-making.

Why we think this role fits us specifically

The Data & Analytics role is not just about building dashboards. It requires supporting five regional researchers with data collection and interpretation, defining consistent metrics and a shared data spec, and then synthesizing all of it into consolidated vertical deep dives that are actually comparable across regions. This is essentially the same workflow we ran on LTIPP & many other tasks, i.e., multiple data sources, different sectors, shared definitions, one coherent output.

We are also comfortable working in environments where direct data does not always exist. A lot of what we have done involves finding the right proxies, clearly labeling what we are measuring and what we are not, and making sure the reader understands the limitations. That matters a lot for regions like Honduras, Kenya, or Indonesia, where on-chain data for Scroll specifically may be thin.

Availability

We are fully available for the 8-10 week program duration. Our core team is India-based, and we will be available and responsive throughout the program duration, including when working alongside regional researchers in LATAM, Africa, SEA, and APAC.

Potential conflicts of interest

We are also active delegates in Arbitrum DAO, Optimism Collective, Superfluid DAO & Uniswap DAO. We hold small amounts of tokens as a normal part of delegate participation. We do not have any financial stake in, advisory role with, or affiliation to projects currently building on Scroll that would bias our coverage of the ecosystem. If any new conflicts arise during the program, we will disclose them immediately.

—

One last thing, we applied because this program is the kind of structured, output-driven work we genuinely enjoy. The “State of Scroll” format, combining regional ground truth with cross-regional vertical synthesis, is a format we have worked in before and think we can add real value to. We are not applying to participate. We are applying to help make the final output actually useful for the DAO.

Happy to answer any questions.
