One-seat runner cash costs vs sparse / irregular rewards. Costs are monthly USD; reward bars that are one-off or thought experiments are labeled on the chart. Not financial advice.
Paid = job detail paidBy wallet present (x402/Permit2 payer). Non-oracle excludes
skill:oracle-assess. Jobs are segmented into team / team-adjacent / partner /
unclear-bot / organic from on-chain forensics (suspicions, not proof). Legacy concentrated
charts (top wallets vs everyone else) still exclude Swarmbrain from their core series.
Strategy (@binji_x): “monitor gas consumption across chains … the chain doesn’t lie … most gems are on Ethereum.” Projects whose share of Ethereum mainnet gas jumps week-over-week are getting real, paid usage before it shows up in reports or price. Treat this as a lead to research, not a buy signal. Confirmed dapps only — bots/MEV, farming/spam and unverified/unlabeled contracts are excluded.

Source: ultrasound.money gas-guzzler leaderboards (top 100 contracts by base-fee burn) + Blockscout labels/tokens. “Gas” is measured as base-fee burn; % change is of each project’s share of total burn, which cancels base-fee swings (mainnet gas per week is ~fixed by the block target). Method: prior 7d ≈ average week of the 23 days before (30d − 7d) × 7/23, until 14 daily snapshots accumulate. “≥ / <” = not in the 30d top-100, so the prior is an upper bound. Min 0.5 ETH 7d burn; contracts grouped by label prefix. Totals: last 7d 198.6 ETH, prior 677.3 ETH. Ranked 21 confirmed dapps. Dapps only: a contract is shown only if it is an ultrasound.money-labeled project, or has verified source plus an Etherscan public name tag / hand-checked canonical deployment; bots/MEV, CEX wallets, farming/spam (e.g. XEN minters) and unverified/unlabeled contracts are excluded.
