At DappRadar, we track the number of daily active wallets and transaction volume. These data provide us with a window into the performance of each blockchain and category.
Note: The transaction amount represents all comprehensive activities in the smart contract.
Active NFT and market categories are currently concentrated on Ethereum and WAX blockchains. However, activity is still driven by a few dapps, so reporting unprecedented growth in these two categories in the third quarter is crucial.

Ethereum: Market
The transaction volume of the Ethereum market category hit a record high, reaching US$20 million.

Of course, half of the transaction volume generated comes from Rarible. The issuance of RARI governance tokens further proves the powerful influence of liquidity mining on the market.
