Since June 10, Solana stablecoin volume have diminished from $74bn to roughly $7bn a day
As mentioned in @WazzCrypto's thread, much of overall volume is driven by 2 sources: MEV Bot 7rhxnL and Phoenix DEX, accounting for ~$1tn of total transfer volume over the last month
The June 10 date corresponds directly with the day MEV Bot 7rhxnL drastically reduced its stablecoin activity
It is reasonable to assume that MEV Bot 7rhxnL operated via one of these sandwiching validators and that the bot's strategy is no longer viable given the undelegation.
In the next week, we'll be rolling out 2 new stablecoin metrics to make it easier to adjust for automated actors:
1️⃣ P2P Stablecoin Transfer Volume (from one non-contract address to another)
We are thrilled to power the onchain insights of "Stablecoins: The Emerging Market Story." Working closely with @Visa and @CastleIslandVC we highlighted:
-A new "adjusted" transfer volume metric
-Stablecoin vs overall crypto growth
-Dollar dominance of stablecoins
As shown above, today, stablecoins are responsible for between 70 and 80 percent of all value settled on public blockchains.
Stablecoin usage continues to break ATHs and has decoupled from the crypto market
-While trading ebbs and flows, stablecoin monthly active users has consistently increased
📢 Exciting news! The Q3 2023 On-Chain Report is here.
In collaboration with @QuickNode, we dove deep into blockchain consumer behavior, developer trends, and venture capital investments.
Get ready for some eye-opening insights! 🧵⬇️
This report gives an overview of blockchain activity:
1. Current usage trends 2. Emerging developer trends 3. Investment landscape by VCs
By centering on developers and end users, we gain insights into building a sustainable Web3 ecosystem.
1️⃣ Consumer Trends —Where are users today?
Stablecoins, DeFi, and Social categories standout in blockchain usage.
- Financial applications and value transfer remain dominant, with high user adoption.
- Stablecoins have shown growth, becoming the most popular category in Q3 2023.
First, let's gather assets in Arbitrum's peer group. A reasonable set of peers include EVM-compatible L1s / L2s:
- AVAX
- BNB
- ETH
- FTM
- OP
- MATIC
- TRON
Next, let's pick a key set of metrics that are informative in valuing chains. These often include:
- Daily Active Addresses
- TVL
- DEX Volumes
- Fees
In this thread we'll discuss:
🔵 Token Allocation / Economics
🔵 Airdrop criteria
🔵 How much could my airdrop be worth?
$ARB is an ERC-20 token native to the Arbitrum One rollup chain. Token properties at launch:
- 🔟 billion initial supply cap
- a modest 2% max inflation
$ARB will be a governance token used to vote on DAO governance proposals, including the ability to upgrade Arbitrum chains’ core contracts.
