The Accountant Quits

Public blockchains hold a goldmine of transparent, verifiable financial data, but only if you know how to tap into it. That’s where Dune comes in. Used daily by Uniswap, Polygon Labs, Aave, 1inch and other major web3 projects, it lets you pull on-chain data, visualize it, and turn it into insights, without running your own infrastructure.

Whether you’re verifying client transactions, preparing financial statements, conducting audits, or assessing DeFi exposure, on-chain analytics gives you the transparency and context that traditional tools can’t. With even a basic grasp of Dune, you can: ✅ Validate wallet activity & reconcile onchain transactions ✅ Monitor treasury positions in real-time ✅ Research DeFi metrics & project performance ✅ Build trust with the community by referencing verifiable blockchain data In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn: ▪️On-Chain Data 101 for Finance Teams: Understanding how blockchain data is structured and what’s possible with it. ▪️How to Get Started and Use Dune: Navigating the platform, creating queries, and exploring dashboards. ▪️Dune Use Cases from Web3 Projects: Real examples of how projects use Dune for decision-making and reporting. ▪️Using ChatGPT to Supercharge Dune: Leveraging AI to write SQL queries and accelerate your analytics workflow.

As Web3 organizations mature, their financial operations become increasingly complex spanning wallets, exchanges, payroll, and accounting systems that must all work together seamlessly.

Do you know your real-time cash position across crypto and fiat? If you run a Web2 company, this is trivial. Banking APIs → one dashboard → done. But if you run a Web3 company, it’s a different story. Your cash is spread across: - Multiple wallets (Ethereum, L2s, Solana, Tron…) - Centralized exchanges - Onchain and offchain accounts that don’t talk to each other Which means a simple question becomes painful to answer: “How much cash do we actually have right now?” This is a problem Max Kalyuzhnyi, Head of Ops at Everclear Foundation, faced firsthand. Instead of relying on spreadsheets or manual reconciliations, Max did what many Web3 operators eventually realize they need to do: He built his own dashboard. On January 14th, Max will walk you through exactly how to build a real-time crypto + fiat cash dashboard, live, in under one hour. What You’ll Learn 1. The tools and real-world use cases for treasury visibility in Web3 2. Why Web3 operators, finance teams, and accountants need to think a bit like engineers 3. How to pull onchain data across wallets and chains 4. How to consolidate balances into a single, usable view 5. How to build your own dashboard step-by-step, live Tools Used Google AI Studio, Moralis API Who This Is For 1. Web3 operators and finance leaders 2. Treasury and accounting teams managing onchain funds 3. Founders who want real-time visibility without manual reporting 4. Accountants looking to understand how modern Web3 finance actually works

As proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain networks continue to grow, staking revenue has become a significant source of income for validators and digital asset entities. However, the accounting treatment of staking rewards presents complex technical challenges under ASC 606 and IFRS 15, particularly in determining principal vs agent status, identifying customers, and assessing consideration payable to customers. This workshop provides a structured, technical analysis of staking arrangements from a financial reporting perspective. Participants will examine how staking mechanics translate into revenue recognition conclusions, how delegator arrangements impact transaction price, and how staking activity is presented in financial statements. The session combines conceptual analysis with practical application, including journal entries, disclosure considerations, and a detailed case study. Learning Objectives By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Explain the mechanics of proof-of-stake validation and how staking rewards are generated. 2. Identify the relevant customers in staking arrangements and assess contract combinations under ASC 606 3. Evaluate whether a validator acts as a principal or agent in staking arrangements. 4. Determine appropriate revenue presentation (gross vs net) based on technical accounting conclusions. 5. Prepare illustrative journal entries for staking rewards and delegator distributions. 6. Assess key disclosure considerations, including digital asset rollforward reporting and financial statement presentation. Key Topics Covered 1. Staking mechanics through an accounting lens 2. Identification of customers in decentralized networks 3. Principal vs agent analysis 4. Measurement of digital assets received 5. Staking pool and liquid staking arrangements 6. Financial statement disclosures and reporting considerations Who Should Attend 1. CPAs and Chartered Accountants 2. Audit and assurance professionals 3. Technical accounting advisors 4. Controllers and CFOs of digital asset entities 5. Finance professionals advising blockchain or Web3 clients

This technical workshop will introduce the Statement of Digital Assets (SoDA) framework to participants. It's a specialized reporting standard designed for organizations holding cryptocurrency and digital assets. As traditional GAAP financial statements often lack the granularity required for on-chain transparency, this session will explore how to implement a "fourth financial statement" that reconciles sub-ledger data with the General Ledger. Participants will learn how to categorize digital assets by Wallet, Asset, and Role, ensuring that Fair Market Value (FMV) is accurately represented alongside Book Value. The session also covers the integration of sub-ledger platforms like Bitwave & Cryptoworth to automate data flow and support clean audits by major firms.
