What

Description

This table tracks gauge creation events, particularly for Marinade Finance’s gauge system. Gauge creation establishes new reward distribution mechanisms for liquidity pools or protocols, enabling decentralized control over reward allocation and liquidity incentivization strategies.

Key Use Cases

  • Track gauge creation patterns and new reward distribution mechanisms
  • Analyze gauge creation frequency and protocol adoption
  • Study gauge lifecycle from creation to voting and reward distribution
  • Monitor DeFi protocol reward strategies and incentivization
  • Support gauge analytics and reward optimization

Important Relationships

  • Links to gov.fact_gauges_votes through gauge address for complete gauge lifecycle
  • Connects to gov.fact_gov_actions for governance action analysis
  • References core.fact_blocks and core.fact_transactions for blockchain context
  • Provides gauge context for DeFi analytics

Commonly-used Fields

  • block_timestamp: Timestamp when the gauge was created
  • tx_id: Unique transaction identifier for the gauge creation
  • gauge: Address of the created gauge
  • creator: Address of the account that created the gauge
  • program_name: Name of the gauge program (e.g., ‘marinade’)

Columns

Column NameData TypeDescription
PROGRAM_NAMETEXTThe name of the Solana program that processed the governance action or transaction. This field identifies which specific governance protocol or program handled the action, enabling cross-program analysis and protocol-specific filtering. Data type: STRING (program identifier) Business context: Used to identify governance programs and analyze cross-protocol governance patterns and adoption. Analytics use cases: Program usage analysis, cross-protocol governance comparison, and governance tool ad…
BLOCK_TIMESTAMPTIMESTAMP_NTZThe timestamp (UTC) at which the block was produced on the Solana blockchain. This field is recorded as a TIMESTAMP data type and represents the precise moment the block was finalized and added to the chain. It is essential for time-series analysis, block production monitoring, and aligning transaction and event data to specific points in time. Used extensively for analytics involving block intervals, network activity trends, and historical lookups. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS (UTC).
BLOCK_IDNUMBERA unique identifier for the block in which this transaction was included on the Solana blockchain. Typically a sequential integer or hash, depending on the data source. Used to group transactions by block and analyze block-level activity. Example: 123456789 Business Context: Supports block-level analytics, such as block production rate and transaction throughput. Useful for tracing transaction inclusion and block explorer integrations. Relationships: All transactions with the same ‘blockid’ s…
TX_IDTEXTThe unique transaction signature (hash) for each transaction on the Solana blockchain. This field is a base58-encoded string, typically 88 characters in length, and serves as the primary identifier for transactions across all Solana data models. Used to join transaction data with related tables (blocks, events, transfers, logs, decoded instructions) and to trace the full lifecycle and effects of a transaction. Essential for transaction-level analytics, debugging, and cross-referencing with bl…
SUCCEEDEDBOOLEANBoolean flag indicating whether the transaction was successfully executed and confirmed on the Solana blockchain. A value of TRUE means the transaction was processed without errors; FALSE indicates failure due to program errors, insufficient funds, or other issues. Example: true false Business Context: Used to filter for successful transactions in analytics and reporting. Important for error analysis, user experience, and program debugging.
SIGNERTEXTAddress initiating the action
GAUGETEXTAddress that determines the rewards share to give to a liquidity pool, or in the case of Marinade, the amount of SOL that should be delegated to a given validator
GAUGEMEISTERTEXTAddress that manages the rewards shares of all gauges
VALIDATOR_ACCOUNTTEXTValidator vote key linked to a gauge
FACT_GAUGES_CREATES_IDTEXTA unique, stable identifier for each record in this table. The primary key (PK) ensures that every row is uniquely identifiable and supports efficient joins, lookups, and data integrity across models. The PK may be a natural key (such as a blockchain transaction hash) or a surrogate key generated from one or more fields, depending on the table’s structure and requirements.
INSERTED_TIMESTAMPTEXTThe timestamp when this transaction record was first inserted into the analytics database. Used for data freshness tracking and incremental model logic. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS. Not derived from the blockchain, but from the ETL process.
MODIFIED_TIMESTAMPTEXTThe timestamp when this transaction record was last updated in the analytics database. Used for tracking updates and supporting incremental model logic. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS. Not derived from the blockchain, but from the ETL process.
