The cliché that things move fast in the blockchain industry is true. The names of crypto exchanges festooned stadiums overnight, taking over the conversation about global finance, then those CEXs collapsed just as fast. Seemingly out of nowhere, “blockchain games” like Axie Infinity became household names, disrupting the video game industry. Celebrities started buying NFTs and plots of Sandbox land for enormous sums. Judging by the continuing speed of development, even in the bear market, thi...

January was the most favorable month for the crypto market after a rough year. While most of what can be said applies to other bullish cycles, several statistics made January highly interesting in the blockchain space. For example, while altcoins tend to trail BTC in performance (first is Bitcoin season, then altcoin season), the end of January saw an exceptional performance in altcoin prices, including those within GameFi. This indicates that the market is strategically awaiting any sign of ...

Daniel, Jan 2022 Previously, we published 9 Reasons Why Solana Won’t Survive the Bear Market. When looking at the data, there is a good argument that Solana was severely overbought during 2021/2022 and that the network does not have the projects, TVL or users to sustain itself through a prolonged bear market. Its collapse is simply more severe, and its ecosystem is shakier than other L1s. To summarize:Solana has 0.7% market share among the top 10 chains by TVLThe TVL of Solana has collapsed b...

One year ago, the volume of NFT transactions going through aggregators began to snowball, even exceeding the volume going directly through marketplace platforms at times. While aggregator usage declined from October to January, Blur.io has since exploded in popularity in 2023, even engaging in a public confrontation with OpenSea over royalties. This month, Blur overtook OpenSea in transaction volume and had a massive airdrop event.Blur Aggregator Trading Volume vs. Marketplaces Footprint Anal...

Author: Daniel@footprint.network Source: NFT Monthly Report January was the best month for token prices in almost a year, with ETH, BTC, and altcoins making their sharpest gains since July. Naturally, this led to increased volume and market cap in the NFT industry. Some metrics were predictable, like the number of investment rounds closed continuing to slide. The breakdown of NFT volume by chain has stayed the same, with Ethereum still the go-to chain for NFTs, followed distantly by Solana an...

Daniel, Jan 2022 Solana is a decentralized blockchain network designed by Solana Labs to be fast, scalable, and secure, and launched in 2020. Solana gained significant attention in 2020 and 2021 due to its fast transaction speeds and low transaction fees, which made it attractive for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and other high-throughput use cases. Additionally, Solana’s use of proof-of-history (PoH) as a consensus mechanism, which allows it to achieve high transaction speeds wit...

Daniel, Jan 2023 Data source: Footprint Analytics In GameFi, it’s not so simple to know how many people are actually playing a game. While most platforms use UAW (unique wallet addresses) as the main metric for GameFi projects, in reality, this indicator falls short in telling us how active, popular or sustainable a blockchain game is. In regular gaming, we define a player as somebody who starts the console or logs in and starts playing. While there are different types of players — first-time...

Since March 2022, the NFT market has waned compared to its ATH, but trading remains active. Now, about a year...

Author: daniel@footprint.network When creating a list to summarize what our community and analysts made in 2022, we realized there are 2 ways to define the most significant charts and dashboards of the year. On one hand, we can let people vote with their clicks and list the most-viewed dashboards. However, this would overlook some of the best-made analyses from our platform in 2022 which didn’t receive as much attention. So, this article does both. Below, you’ll find the top 9 trends from 202...
