Token data

And to simply finish with this section, you can use the blockchain to gather information about a specific token. NFT projects are often creating their tokens and being able to track info and transactions about it is a good skill. First of all, we need a token to work with. Let's take $DUST as an example.

$DUST is just the name of the token, it's not enough, we need the Address.

Here I'm using the famous BirdEye website, but there are a lot of sites where you can get the address of the token you want.

Or using the copy function.

We're almost there!

For the ones in front of the class, you may already know what we are going to do with the token address.

I'll let you have fun by yourself here, simply note that the button under the red arrow is used to export all transfers in a .csv file. While it looks like we could have a hard time using it, this feature is actually super good if you need to make deeper research about transfers and work with the data.

Other than that which is cool for more advanced users, Analysis, Holders, and Markets sections are super useful as well and much more beginner friendly.
