Avalanche Tops the List With 168% Growth in Transactions in Seven Days
Nansen has tracked the activity of various blockchains and made a list of twenty blockchain networks keeping the number of addresses they have witnessed and the percentage in transactions. Avalanche, BNB Chain, ZKsync, Base, And Scroll have outshined all of the other blockchain networks.
Avalanche, developed by Ava Labs in SEP 2020, is a decentralized blockchain platform which offers secure, scalable, and fast smart contracts, and decentralized apps. Avalanche topped the list as it saw 168% growth in transactions during the course of seven days. Moreover, the number of active address on the blockchain have also increased by 916% during this time period crossing the figure of 1.6 million.
BNB Chain, ZKsync, Base, And Scroll Leave Outshine Major Blockchains
Developed by the leading digital currency exchange Binance, BNB Chain is a blockchain network that supports dApps and smart contracts with low fees in transactions. ZKsync, on the other hand, is Ethereum’s layer-2 scaling solution that utilizes zk-rollups for off-chain transactions. Base And Scroll are also Ethereum’s Layer-2 solutions.
Apart from Avalanche, all of these four blockchains have left behind the major blockchains such as Stellar, Ethereum, and Polygon in terms of active addresses and percentage in transactions. BNB Chain saw an increase of 62% in seven-day growth in transactions. While on the other hand, ZKsync, Base, And Scroll saw an increase of 39%, 32%, and 29% respectively.
