1. Layers
Data App: mostly for users, applications related to data, metrics etc.
consumer: targeted at consumer, and into daily use; e.g. @coinmarketcap @coingecko
business / pro: targeted at pro users, and generally w/ in-depth query features, i.e., you can query the data in different way you wanted (vs. in consumer app you just get the data. e.g. @nansen , @parsec_finance
Data Dev: mostly for developers to dev things related to data
analytics: used to analyze data, make dashboard; e.g. dune, flipside
indexing: infra used to serve data to front-end users. e.g. thegraph, covalent
Data Source: where data come from.
on-chain: public blockchains such as BTC, ETH BSC etc.
off-chain: CEX, Twitter, Github etc.
the order is also the data flow: data source -> data dev -> data app.
underscore means have decentralized design, e.g. thegraph, ceramic
