Run dbt on Dune: Your Crypto Data Warehouse, End to End

Dune is where crypto data lives. Now it is also where your transformations belong. With the new dbt Connector, you can point your dbt project directly at Dune and build full data pipelines. Read, write transformation logic, and analyze, all in one place.

For crypto-native teams, running your own data warehouse rarely makes sense. The blockchain data you need, across 100+ chains, is already live on Dune, continuously updated and validated. Instead of maintaining ingestion and storage systems, you can focus on what matters: put data to work.

Meet The dbt Connector

The dbt Connector lets you run dbt directly on Dune’s warehouse. It turns Dune into a full data engineering environment, not just a place to query. With dbt you can manage data dependencies, data quality tests, and different materialization strategies, solving the current limitations of materialized views and manual refreshes on Dune.

With it, you can:

  • Write and transform data using dbt’s dependency graph
  • Build pipelines with incremental models and CI/CD workflows
  • Collaborate via Git-based reviews and version control
  • Analyze and visualize directly in Dune

Everything from raw blockchain data to dashboards, all in one platform.

Why Teams Should Move to Dune

One Unified Stack

Stop switching between your data warehouse and analytics tools. With dbt on Dune, your transformation logic sits next to your final outputs. Lineage is clear, access is unified, and every table lives in your private namespace by default.

Enterprise-Grade Data Engineering

Collaborate through Git-based workflows with feature branches, pull requests, and built-in testing. dbt ensures data quality while Dune provides full audit trails and deployment logs, establishing a solid foundation for governance and compliance.

Lower Costs, Fresher Data

Incremental models redefine blockchain analytics. Instead of reprocessing entire chains, dbt updates only new data since the last run. That means faster, cheaper transformations, more frequent refreshes, and transparent, usage-based pricing. You pay only for what you use.

Onchain Meets Offchain Data

Join offchain data with Dune’s onchain datasets directly in Dune SQL. Import data from your tools, combine it with blockchain tables, and build unified analytics without managing separate infrastructure.

Enterprise Pricing

The dbt Connector is available to Dune Enterprise customers with transparent, usage-based billing across 3 dimensions: compute, writes, and storage.

No platform fees. No hidden costs. Only what you use.
