Algorand is a blockchain platform that provides a secure and efficient infrastructure for
building decentralized applications (DApps). The platform uses a pure-proof-of-stake-based
consensus approach that allows for fast and secure transactions with low fees. Algorand has
gained popularity among developers and users due to its speed, security, and scalability.
In this thesis, we aim to analyze the DeFi ecosystem on the Algorand blockchain concerning
the use of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and available tokens and develop a data exploration
tool for presenting novel DeFi-related metrics based on a few recent studies.
For this purpose, we first attempt to understand Algorand’s ecosystem by analyzing DeFi-
related metrics of the platform provided by the existing block explorer. This would be helpful
for any research that requires a comprehensive overview of Algorand’s DeFi space or a
comparison between this blockchain platform and other developed ones, such as Ethereum,
especially in terms of DeFi protocols. We then explore related research papers to gain a more
profound comprehension of the challenges and interest regarding DeFi in general and extract
valuable metrics that are applicable to further illuminate the intricacies of Algorand’s DeFi
ecosystem.
In the next part, we propose the design and implementation of an interactive data tool to
facilitate the analysis of these metrics. This tool would be useful for traders or researchers
who, for instance, want to have an overview of the MEV landscape or specific DEX activities.
