Welcome to the Amberdata Intelligence Platform! This guide explains four powerful features that enable in-depth on-chain and off-chain digital asset analysis: Drill Down, Deep Research, Change Analysis, and Explore.

1. Drill Down: Dive Deeper into Your Data

The Drill Down feature gives a detailed analysis of the underlying data behind any chart, breaking it down by specific dimensions.

How to Use Drill Down

  1. Select a Chart: Start with any chart on the platform, such as spot trading volume for Coinbase or stablecoin liquidity.
  2. Right-Click to Drill Down: Right-click on a specific data point (e.g., a bar representing a day’s trading volume). 
  3. Choose a Dimension: Select a category to break down the data, such as:
    • Instrument: View top instruments traded (e.g., Bitcoin USD, ETH USD).
    • Blockchain: Ethereum, Tron, etc
    • Order Size Category: Analyze trade size distributions (e.g., trades over $100K).
    • Blockchain or Asset Symbol: For stablecoin data, break down liquidity by chain (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon) or asset (e.g., USDC, Tether).
  4. View Results: The platform generates a new visualization or table showing the breakdown. For example, drilling down into $5.62 billion of Coinbase’s spot trading volume might reveal $500 million in trades over $100K.
  5. Go Deeper: Repeat the process to explore additional layers, such as breaking down Bitcoin USD trades by order size or blockchain.
Example To understand which instruments drove Coinbase’s spot trading volume on a specific day:
  • Right-click a bar in the Coinbase spot trading volume chart.
  • Select “Break out by Instrument.”
  • View a chart showing Bitcoin USD contributed $5.62 billion, with smaller contributions from ETH USD, USDT USD, and others.

The Change Analysis feature allows comparison between two data points on a chart (e.g., different days or values) to understand what drove changes in the data, such as shifts in trading volume or liquidity.

How to Use Change Analysis

  1. Select a Chart: Choose a chart, such as net liquidity for stablecoins or spot trading volume.
  2. Pick Two Data Points: Hold the ‘Alt’ (on Windows) or ‘Command’ (on MacOS) key and click on two data points to compare them, for example, the bars for August 15th and August 16th in stablecoin net liquidity.
  3. Run Change Analysis: Right-click and select “Change Analysis” to generate a report explaining the differences. See pic below.
  4. Review Results: The platform provides a detailed breakdown, including:
    • Percentage change (e.g., an 86.23% decrease in net liquidity from $1.6 billion to $220 million).
    • Key contributors (e.g., Ethereum and Polygon Mainnets accounted for 97.68% of the decrease).
    • Asset-specific insights (e.g., USDS contributed 8.60% to net liquidity on August 15th vs. 61.77% on August 16th).
  5. Dive Deeper: Break down the results further by dimensions such as asset symbol or blockchain for increased granularity. Example
To understand a drop in stablecoin net liquidity:
  • Select bars for August 15th ($1.6 billion) and August 16th ($220 million).
  • Run Change Analysis to see an 86.23% decrease, with Ethereum Mainnet and USDS as major contributors.
  • Break down by asset symbol to see USDS’s shift in contribution.

3. Deep Research: Create Charts with Natural Language Queries

The Deep Research feature is powered by conversational analytics. Ask questions in natural language and instantly generate charts or tables, making data analysis intuitive, flexible, and no-code.

How to Use Deep Research

Access Deep Research: Locate the Deep Research input field on any chart by hovering over the upper-right corner. The Deep Research button will appear.
  1. Ask a Question: Type a question about the data, such as:
    • “What was the spot trading volume for Binance in April 2025?”
    • “Show daily transfer volume for USDC on Base Mainnet for the last 90 days.”
  2. Review the Interpretation: Deep Research maps the question to relevant data columns (e.g., trading volume, date, blockchain) and displays which columns were used, ensuring transparency.
  3. View the Chart or Table: The platform generates a visualization (e.g., a bar chart of daily Binance trading volumes) or a table (e.g., total volume of $3.14 trillion for April 2025).
  4. Refine or Combine: Ask follow-up questions to adjust the output (e.g., “Break it out by daily volumes”) or use Drill Down on the generated chart for deeper analysis.
Example To analyze ETF flows:
  • Type: “Which funds had the largest flows in the first quarter of this year?”
  • Deep Research returns all the funds with the largest flows, including BlackRock, Fidelity, and more.
  • Type: “Show the daily values for these flows.” A chart appears showing the daily value for each fund, and you can choose which funds to focus on.

4. Explore: Customize Charts with Flexible Filters

Modify charts with the Explore feature by adjusting variables like timeframe, blockchain, or asset to create tailored views of the data.

How to Use Explore

Access Explore: Click the “Explore” option on any chart (e.g., stablecoin liquidity or trading volume); hover over the top right of a chart and click the 3 dots to see ‘Explore’
  1. Modify Filters: Adjust variables such as:
    • Timeframe: Change from daily to hourly or select a specific date range (e.g., last 90 days).
    • Blockchain: Filter by chains like Ethereum, Polygon, or Base Mainnet.
    • Asset Symbol: Focus on specific assets like USDC or Tether.
  2. Add Comparisons: Use contextual recommendations to compare assets or blockchains relevant to the chart.
  3. Apply Changes: Update the chart to reflect new filters or comparisons.
  4. Save or Export: Download the customized chart as an image, Excel, or CSV file by clicking the ellipses (…).
Example To customize a stablecoin liquidity chart:
  • Click “Explore” on a net liquidity chart.
  • Set the timeframe to the last 90 days, filter by USDC, and select Base Mainnet.
  • Add a comparison for Tether to see both assets side by side.
  • View the updated chart and export it for further analysis.

Tips for Success

  • Combine Features: Use Deep Research to create a chart, then Drill Down to explore specific data points for more granular insights.
  • Build Your Own Chart (coming soon): The ability to create custom charts to more accurately match your exact use case or need is coming soon.
  • Save and Share (coming soon): Save charts to custom dashboards for easy reference and collaboration.
  • Download Data: Export charts or data as images, Excel, or CSV files by clicking the ellipses (…) on any chart.
