How Studio works.

Nodefleet Metric TeamDocumentation

Everything about Nodefleet Metric's Studio — from creating an account to building queries, saving dashboards, and sharing what you build. No prior context needed.

Getting started

Create an account at /studio/register with an organization name, an email, and a password (minimum 8 characters). Everything under Studio requires being signed in — there is no read-only public access to the builder itself.

Organizations are self-serve: the first person to register with a given organization name creates it and becomes its admin. Anyone who later registers with that same name automatically joins it as a member — there is no separate invite step.

Already have an account? Sign in at /studio/login.

The left sidebar inside Studio is organized into three groups:

  • Explore — links back out to the public Metrics and Services pages.
  • Dashboards — every dashboard your account owns, including the auto-generated Example dashboard.
  • Chains — every chain enabled on the platform, each with its logo. Clicking one jumps straight into a ready-made explorer query for that chain.

At the top of the content area, the Studio header shows your email and organization with a sign-out button, plus a Dashboards/Queries tab row and a "New query" button.

Building a query

A query is a chain, a time window, and a set of metrics, charted one way. To build one:

  1. Name it, and pick a chain from the dropdown.
  2. Pick a period (24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, 365d, or all time) and a granularity (daily, weekly, monthly).
  3. Pick one or more metrics from the panel on the left, organized under that chain's metric catalog.
  4. Hit Run.

Instead of picking metrics one by one, the Stacks row above the metric picker applies a themed group with one click and runs it immediately:

StackAnswersAudience
Network PerformanceIs the chain healthy right now?Infra teams, validators, protocol engineers
Financial & RevenueHow much are we generating, and at what cost to users?Founders, finance, foundations
User Growth & AdoptionAre we growing, and do people stick around?Growth, community, marketing
Staking & Network SecurityHow decentralized and secure is the chain? (Canopy only)Validators, delegators, foundations, auditors
Launchpad & Ecosystem GrowthHow is the ecosystem trading and growing around it?Launchpad team, foundations, investors

A stack's button is grayed out if none of its metrics apply to the chain you picked — Staking & Network Security and Launchpad & Ecosystem Growth are Canopy-only concepts, so they're unavailable on EVM/Cosmos chains.

Once you have a result, switch how it renders:

  • TableEvery selected metric as its own column — the only type that never drops data.
  • Line / Area / BarTrends over time. Best with a few metrics of similar scale; past 4 without picking series manually, only the first 4 render.
  • PieShare of the total across your selected metrics.
  • CounterOne big number — the latest value, plus the date range it covers.

Save keeps the query privately in your account, ready to reuse or drop into a dashboard.

Chain shortcuts

Clicking any chain under Chainsin the sidebar skips the builder entirely: it opens a new query pre-filled with that chain's Network Performance metrics (transactions, blocks, average block time, average TPS, peak TPS, average transactions per block) in a table, named "ChainExplorer", and already run. It's the fastest way to get an at-a-glance explorer view of any chain without picking a single metric yourself.

Dashboards & widgets

Create a dashboard from the Dashboards tab, then click Edit → Add widget to drop in any of your saved queries. Each one becomes a tile you can resize between half and full width, or remove. Every widget shows a small label naming which chain its data comes from.

Sharing a dashboard

Dashboards are private by default. Toggling Share public makes it viewable, read-only, by anyone with the link — even without a Studio account of their own — and reveals a Copy link button. Make private reverts it. Only the owner sees edit controls; a public dashboard opened by someone else just shows who shared it.

The metric catalog

Canopy has the deepest catalog: 36 metrics — 20 root-chain metrics (transactions, blocks, fees, wallets, staking, supply) plus 16 launchpad/terminal metrics (chains launched, trades, revenue, product usage). EVM and Cosmos chains (Arbitrum, Ethereum, Passage, and the rest) share a smaller, 14-metric catalog covering the same traffic and wallet activity — staking, supply, and launchpad metrics are Canopy-specific concepts that don't apply elsewhere. The five Stacks above group both catalogs by the question they answer, so the mental model stays the same regardless of chain.

Plan limits

There's no billing yet, so every account runs under the same limits:

3
Dashboards per account
5
Widgets per dashboard
10
Metrics per query

Hitting a limit shows an inline message and blocks the action before anything saves — deleting an existing dashboard, widget, or metric frees up room for another.

The example dashboard

Every account gets an "Example dashboard" the first time Studio loads — a ready-made Ethereum explorer with five widgets: a transaction counter and TPS trend (Network Performance), a chain-fees counter and average-fee trend (Financial & Revenue), and a full wallet-activity table (User Growth & Adoption). If we improve the default example later, it updates itself automatically the next time you open Studio.

You can delete or edit it like any other dashboard. If you delete it while keeping the exact name "Example dashboard", it comes back on your next visit — rename it if you want to keep a customized version for good.
