Whale Watcher is an interactive data visualization project led by Amay Kataria, and developed during the ETHChicago 2023 Hackathon. It won the first prize in the Featured Artists and Creatives category.
Whale Watcher is an innovative tool designed to provide NFT creators with an unparalleled perspective on their collections. It offers a bird's eye view of every collector who has ever owned their NFTs, allowing creators to witness the impact of their work within their community in real time.
With Whale Watcher, creators can gain insights into their legacy and the loyalty of their collectors. Each whale in the visualization represents a wallet address that holds assets from the collection, with the size of the whale corresponding to the number of NFTs owned. This feature enables users to easily identify devoted hodlers and the most prominent collectors.The project was developed in collaboration with Max Knivets and Blair McKee, and is currently undergoing further development for an upcoming production release.
