# web3 Data Dictionary

## Welcome

Welcome to the Web3 Data Dictionary! Created by [Dune](https://dune.com/) and [MetricsDAO](https://metricsdao.xyz/), this is a space to find and discuss shared definitions around key web3 data concepts.

## How did the dictionary come together?

First, in a [community-wide brainstorming period](https://metricsdao.notion.site/web3-Data-Dictionary-750546b7d18447f39ac145f8e9532f4f), the web3 analytics community [proposed and voted](https://bounty.metricsdao.xyz/bounty-programs/web3-data-glossary) on blockchain data terms that need defining.

Now, community analysts are at work sourcing and creating definitions for these terms, and rooting these definitions in analytics space consensus. This dictionary is actively in progress!

## I am active in the web3 data space and want to be involved

We welcome analysts and industry partners who would like to collaborate! Contact us in the MetricsDAO Discord in the [#📖 | web-data-dictionary ](https://discord.com/channels/902943676685230100/1034872887309500436)channel.

Ideas on how you can collaborate with the web3 Data Dictionary:

* For analysts
  * Propose a definition for a new term not yet covered by this dictionary
  * Suggest a change or addition to an existing dictionary definition, based on industry use and/or your own analytics work
* For industry partners (data providers, blockchains, and other web3 organizations)

  * Develop starter queries for calculating dictionary metrics
  * Model data to make calculating these metrics easier
  * Let us know other partnership ideas you may have!
