The blockchain analytics company Dune announced three updates at the DuneCon conference held in Bangkok, Thailand: the launch of the Echo platform supporting real-time multi-chain analysis, the acquisition of the blockchain simulation company smlXL, and the introduction of a new metric aimed at tracking meaningful blockchain adoption. The Dune Echo platform has officially launched, providing developers with real-time data across 30 blockchains, including Ethereum, multiple layer 2 networks, and the currently testing Solana. At the same time, Dune announced the acquisition of smlXL, supported by a16z, which has a popular product for simulating real-time blockchain transactions. The acquisition amount was not disclosed. In addition, Dune introduced the new metric 'Dune Index', aimed at tracking meaningful blockchain adoption over time. This metric is categorized by chain and is standardized to avoid potentially manipulated or exaggerated metrics. (The Block)
