- The statement that every listed dashboard can be opened without an account is an absolute guarantee that may become inaccurate as third-party platforms change access requirements. Consider softening the wording to reflect intent rather than a hard promise.
docs/data/analytics/public-dashboards.mdx:40 - The DefiLlama URL here differs from the one already used on the Data Analytics Providers page (which links to /chain/Stellar). Using the same URL improves consistency and reduces the risk of one link becoming stale or redirecting differently.

What do you think about adding navigation in the drop down for this as well? I can see the argument either way. If you are aiming to keep the drop down clean, I think Providers and Dashboards should be reordered in the left hand nav bar.
I think you're 90% of the way there, but each dashboard entry in What it shows should also highlight what makes this dashboard unique compared with others. It should be clear to the reader who the dashboard is for and how it differs from others.
For instance, the Stellar Network Dashboard maintained by SDF is for developers. it's real time and track liveness of the network (it's also the first place to monitor protocol upgrade success). or rwas on stellar is the first look at an rwa as it onboards before it passes due diligence with rwa.xyz

- Grammar: treat “Public Dashboards” as the name of a page/section; “Public Dashboards is a directory …” reads awkwardly. Reword to refer to the page/section explicitly.

@sydneynotthecity Added an item to the dropdown as "Dashboards" between Hubble and Providers, so the dropdown and sidebar now match. I feel like thats a better UI experience for users |
Standardize dashboard names to the platform's real title or the Stellar on <platform> pattern, rewrite each description to say who it is for and how it differs, drop the refresh cadence note and the in-page contribution section, reword the providers page pointer, and add Dashboards to the Data dropdown between Hubble and Providers.

- Grammar: this sentence treats the page title as a singular noun ("Public Dashboards is"); rephrase to make it clear you're referring to the page/directory.
Keep each entry's point of difference but state it descriptively instead of as a ranking.

docs/data/analytics/public-dashboards.mdx:21
- Several rows include evaluative/prescriptive wording (e.g., “The first place…”, “Best when…”, “Aimed at…”, “Useful for…”), which reads like guidance on why to choose a vendor. CONTRIBUTING.md:92-93 asks for third-party entries to be descriptive (what it does / how it works with Stellar), not persuasive.
This issue also appears in the following locations of the same file:
- line 22
- line 31
- line 40
docs/data/analytics/public-dashboards.mdx:23
- These two rows also include “Best for …” / audience-targeting phrasing. To align with CONTRIBUTING.md:92-93’s “descriptive rather than promotional” guidance, consider rephrasing to state capabilities without recommending a choice.
| [Stellar Cross-Chain Explorer](https://stellar.range.org) | Range | Cross-chain transfers into and out of Stellar at the transaction level, with bridge hops and counterparties. For compliance and bridge users. |
| [Stellar on DappRadar](https://dappradar.com/chain/stellar) | DappRadar | Dapp discovery and usage rankings. Best for finding which Soroban apps have users. |
docs/data/analytics/public-dashboards.mdx:32
- The RWA section includes comparative/recommendation language (“including ones not yet tracked…”, “Useful for comparing…”). CONTRIBUTING.md:92-93 suggests keeping provider entries focused on what the dashboard shows rather than why to choose it versus alternatives.
| [RWAs on Stellar](https://dune.com/stellar/rwas) | SDF | SDF's own view of tokenized assets and stablecoins on Stellar. Lists assets as they launch on Stellar, including ones not yet tracked by rwa.xyz. |
| [Stellar on rwa.xyz](https://app.rwa.xyz/networks/stellar) | rwa.xyz | Tokenized asset value on Stellar by asset class and issuer, using the same vetted methodology rwa.xyz applies to every network. Useful for comparing Stellar's RWA footprint with other networks on a like-for-like basis. |
docs/data/analytics/public-dashboards.mdx:41
- The DefiLlama/Blend descriptions include time-sensitive or hard-to-verify claims (“most commonly cited…”, “Currently the one dashboard here…”). These are likely to become stale as the ecosystem and this list evolves; consider keeping the row descriptions strictly to what the dashboards display.
| [Stellar on DefiLlama](https://defillama.com/chain/stellar) | DefiLlama | TVL by protocol on Stellar, with history. The TVL figure most commonly cited in third-party research. |
| [Blend Protocol Analytics](https://dune.com/stellar/blend-protocol-analytics) | SDF | SDF-maintained view of Blend lending pools: TVL, supply and borrow, utilization, and volume. Currently the one dashboard here focused on a single Soroban protocol. |

What
Adds a new page, Data > Analytics > Public Dashboards, that lists free, browser-viewable dashboards tracking the Stellar network. Entries are grouped by what a reader wants to see rather than by vendor:
Each row has the dashboard name linked to the Stellar-specific view, who publishes it, and one line on what it shows. Descriptions are kept descriptive, not promotional, per the contributing guide.
Why
The existing Data Analytics Providers page is a vendor comparison table (pricing, signup, data access). Several of these dashboards are already linked there, but buried in the last column. There was no single place to send someone who just wants to look at Stellar metrics without writing a query.
Other changes
docs/data/analytics/README.mdx: adds a short Public Dashboards section linking to the new page.docs/data/analytics/analytics-providers/analytics-providers.mdx: adds one sentence under the intro pointing readers who only want charts to the new page. The table is unchanged.routes.txt: regenerated bypnpm build, one new route added. No routes removed.Checks
pnpm buildpasses with no broken links (node 24).Related
#2156 proposes flattening the Analytics and Indexers provider pages. This page fits either structure and does not change the existing ones.
