You should know what you are doing. You should, in crypto parlance, DYOR. Or, better yet, borrow it. Analytics in crypto is a whole new field. Sorting through on-chain transaction data and smart contracts can feel to the untrained observer like scrying tea leaves. Some shamanistic art that says yes, you should long that memecoin, or that there is a supply crunch in that protocol’s liquidity, or there are exchange outflows into self-custody. It’s essential work, and it needs to be done right. By everyone and for everyone.
What is Glint Analytics?
Glint Analytics is a radical new community analytics dashboard that does away with an antiquated bounty system and replaces it with a model that rewards contributors both consistently and over the long term. It shifts the focus from reactive analytics — which can often be too late to be of any use — to proactive analytics. Analysts can post their findings through an easy to use dashboard, and any other user can take advantage of them. Interactions are recorded on-chain, with Glint’s automated smart contracts paying out regularly depending on how often a contributor’s upload was interacted with.
The platform empowers users to share their thoughts and know they will be rewarded for it. Currently, blockchain analytics runs an uneasy, unbalanced, and flawed economy. Analysts may work, for free, for recognition — perhaps on socials. Once they’ve established a reputation, output can dwindle — as a subsequent reward isn’t there. Analysts can get burned out, or query why they are sharing their insights for free. What once might have started as crypto enthusiasm and a will to share, quickly turns into jaded peddling of whatever analytics they can get a good bounty for.
Inverting the Ancient Bounty Economy
Glint inverts this economy to create one of proactive sharing, with anyone posting useful insights being rewarded, not just those at the top of the pyramid retweeting others’ work. Insights can be posted ahead of time, with actionable insights deriving instant reward and — crucially — ongoing reward.
All too often in data analytics we see valuable insights claim short-term reward perhaps in the form of bounties, but when those insights are built on over the long time, or continually referred back to, or used to build new data models — often the reward for the initial contributor dries up. They are forced to go private, sequestering their insight from the public domain, or they just give up on analytics altogether — or keep it to themselves to boost their own portfolio.
Glint believes this is an unhealthy model. Everyone should be incentivised to freely provide their contributions and be rewarded autonomously for it. Analyst altruism is incredible, but it only gets us so far. Glint is about cultivating a vibrant, community-driven ecosystem that provides value to everyone and rewards them as a result. An analytics bureau that is a foundational source of community wisdom, with a shared purpose to build the on-chain systems architecture that the world is poised to rapidly adopt. Transparent, global, and egalitarian, Glint is creating an analytics community that embodies the true spirit of crypto collectivism.
On-Chain Insights, On-Chain Rewards
On Glint, the insights on an analyst’s dashboard are minted on-chain as NFTs. Any community interaction with the dashboard — favourite, bookmark, code-copy, share, etc. — all are recorded and counted as votes for the next community payout. A DAO-governed smart contract automatically pays out $GLNT tokens to creators periodically. This is Glint’s create-to-earn model. Other users can subscribe to their favourite analysts too by committing $GLNT tokens to access exclusive content. Through Glint’s smooth user interface, analysts, aficionados and traders can come together in a simple social network where everyone is here to learn, earn, and map out the current state of crypto — and where it’s going — together.
This may sound great for those who know their way around a blockchain explorer, but what about the rest of us? Glint differs from other analyst dashboards through its implementation of AI to provide natural language processing to blockchain queries. If you’re a budding analyst, just dipping your toes into the field or having a DYOR moment yourself. You can use Glint’s chat interface to ask blockchain queries and yield appropriate query strings using natural language processing. And, if you find something interesting along the way, you can share it — and begin earning rewards as others cotton on to what you’ve found.
All of this is free. Glint’s core service is designed for everyone to join — experienced analysts and beginners alike. Anyone can post their work, and anyone can learn from it. In time, further paid tiers will be added to supplement ecosystem revenue. These tiers will let users download CSVs, export analytics, and get premium access to their favourite creators.

Know Where Crypto Is Going with Glint
All of this will come later. For now, Glint’s goal is to provide much needed analysis and cool headed thinking at this time of buoyant optimism. As the winter begins to thaw, and the summer heats up, traders have a glint in their eye. Halving is around the corner, adoption is gathering pace, and crypto is about to go somewhere.
The big question is where. Blockchain analysis is still in its infancy. Brilliant minds around the world are working discretely towards figuring out the vast on-chain labyrinths we daily mine. New financial ecosystems are beginning to make measurable change to the global market, and everyone wants to know exactly what’s going on, hopefully before it takes place.
Not just for profit, but so that — as a community — we can shepherd crypto to where it’s inevitably going to go. A global decentralised computer on which we run the techno foundations of our society. Glint is committed to creating a community of analysts that are rewarded for the market-deciding work they do. Who are encouraged to keep up their mystic art of on-chain science, and who share their work — and how to do it — with others (with AI tools to help along the way). So, tell Glint what you think, there may be more much than a penny in it for you.
