Beyond alerts: Easily decode smart contract activity at a glance

See trends in real-time

Web3 teams lose hours daily jumping between dashboards, writing SQL or GraphQL queries, and waiting for updates to gauge how customers are and aren’t engaging with their protocols and projects. Dispatch eliminates the guesswork with live visualizations baked into your monitoring workflow — no more fragmented tools or missing insights.

Monitor what matters, act faster

Once click into your contract shows:

• Active addresses: See which wallets interact with your tracked functions and events
• Core metrics: Instantly identify high-traffic functions and recurring events
• Temporal patterns: Track activity trends, lulls, and trends across multiple timeframes, from hourly to yearly views

See how your contract behaves in the real world. Compare historical patterns with live activity to understand how protocol updates affect usage, measure the impact of your campaigns, and validate your contract's performance based on actual data.

Compare smart contract activity and unique addresses over time

Insights without queries

While tools like Dune are powerful for custom queries, you shouldn’t have to write SQL to understand smart contract activity. Dispatch helps bridge this gap, empowering anyone to gain insights.

Product managers: Track user engagement in real time by monitoring how specific contract functions are utilized — no more waiting for engineers to pull data.

Business teams: Access growth metrics and usage patterns instantly to help with strategic decisions, like partnerships or feature prioritization, with live on-chain data.

Developers: Validate contract behavior and debug faster by spotting critical patterns, including:

• Function call frequency and peak activity times
• Event emission trends like contract admin changes and approvals
• Most common interactions, like recurring wallet addresses or high-traffic events and functions
• Hourly/daily activity cycles to help you learn to optimize scalability

Marketing and community managers: Prove campaign impact by sharing visualized on-chain engagement metrics like minting activity, claims, and voting participation.

Dispatch eliminates  technical bottlenecks that might otherwise slow you down.

Turn insights into action

Smart contracts power every corner of Web3, but what you do with contract data depends on your project’s goals. Here’s how teams across Web3 can use Dispatch to respond faster and make smarter decisions:

DeFi

• Track daily transaction peaks to schedule maintenance or promotions
• Monitor high-frequency functions to validate contract stability under load
• Identify “superuser” wallets for liquidity mining rewards

See which addresses are interacting most with a contract

Gaming/GameFi

• Track in-game asset trades, like weapon transfers, to balance economies
• Monitor player engagement via recurring actions like craftItem or startQuest
• Spot bot activity through abnormal transaction patterns

For NFT projects

• Spot real-time mint surges during drops using hourly/daily call trends
• Track secondary sales via transfer events
• Identify loyal holders through recurring transactions

For social dApps

• Map registration spikes to marketing campaigns
• Measure engagement through function calls like “follow” or “share”
• Identify power users (wallets)  for rewards

See which addresses are interacting most with a contract

For DAOs

• Track proposal cycles
• Measure voting participation
• Identify quiet periods to avoid critical votes

From optimizing DeFi protocols to nurturing NFT communities, from scaling social platforms to streamlining DAO governance — Dispatch helps you turn contract data into actionable insights.

Getting started with smart contract data viz

To get started, you'll need a Dispatch account. If you don't have one yet, sign up for free.

If you’re new to Dispatch, we’ll be setting up a Patch: basically, an automation that uses on-chain activity to trigger alerts or create data visualizations.

Let's walk through visualizing Lido's Community Staking Module to track validator activity.

1. Log in to Dispatch

From the Dashboard, select the “Smart contract activity” Trigger from the dropdown under "When this happens..." input.

2. Select an Action

 This is where you'll choose how you want to track your smart contract activity. If you’re not interested in notifications and just want to see the data (and visualize it) in Dispatch, choose Dispatch Monitor.

Click “Complete Patch”.  

3. Set Trigger Conditions

In this step, you'll tell Dispatch which smart contract and contract activity you’re interested in.

• Select Ethereum network
• Add Lido’s CS Module contract address (0xdA7dE2ECdDfccC6c3AF10108Db212ACBBf9EA83F)
• Select events and functions like NodeOperatorAdded, SigningKeyAdded, DepositedSigningKeysCountChanged, and TargetValidatorsCountChanged

4. Confirm Action type

Select "Dispatch Monitor" as your Action (this should be pre-selected if you chose it in the Dashboard). Click "Continue" to confirm the destination and move to the next step.

5. Name your Patch & turn it on

Since you've selected Dispatch Monitor, no test is needed. If you selected any other Action, we highly recommend testing to make sure Dispatch can send the data where you want it to go. Give your Patch a name (or leave the suggested name) and click "Turn Patch on" to start seeing your contract activity.

6. See your contract insights

After setup, viewing your data is simple:

1. Go to Contracts > Overview
2. Click on your contract address

You'll instantly see:

• Which addresses are interacting with your events and functions
• Your most frequently called functions
• Your most common events
• Activity trends across time periods (hourly to yearly)
• The data updates in real-time as new events and functions occur.

What's next

Smart contracts are the foundation of Web3, and now understanding their activity is simpler than ever. We built this visualization feature based on your feedback, and we can't wait to see how you use it to improve your protocols, strengthen your communities, and build better products.
