Resource optimization : forecasting engineering capacity and planning material availability

Abstract

This capstone project explores the integration of decentralized finance (DeFi) functionalities—Token Swapping, Staking/Yield Tracking, and Liquidity Provision—in blockchain explorers within the Ethereum ecosystem. Through a qualitative analysis of 12 explorers, it assesses their support for these functions, revealing a divide between general-purpose platforms focused on data transparency and DeFi-focused platforms offering advanced financial tools. The study highlights varying levels of functionality availability and usability, providing insights into enhancing accessibility for DeFi users.
