A lot of people ask me what’s really going on behind some of these clean-looking crypto dashboards. You know the ones—real-time trackers showing top holders, token stats, and wallet movements.

Here’s what I’ve learned: most of those apps don’t start from zero. They start with clones of powerful platforms like Holderscan, then get deeply customized by sharp dev teams.

One project I recently saw took this idea to the next level. Their goal was to build a real-time tracking app for an upcoming Layer-1 token. What stood out was how efficiently they worked with their dev partner.

The development was based on a Holderscan clone script. The team behind it—Maticz—did more than code. They modularized the components, added an alert system for whale movements, and plugged in multi-chain support for Polygon and BSC.

What surprised the founder most? The backend speed and the analytics depth. It was “like watching Dune Analytics, but simplified for end-users.”

Moral of the story: If you're building Web3 tools, don’t just focus on frontend polish—go deep on who’s building your data logic.
