Crafted in collaboration with Artemis, a reputable institutional data platform for digital assets, The On-Chain Report furnishes an all-encompassing synopsis of blockchain utilization and investments during Q3, delving into consumer tendencies, developer engagement, and the investment scenery.

A major revelation from The On-Chain Report was the remarkable upsurge in stablecoin activity throughout blockchain networks. Stablecoins ascended to become the most favored category, as denoted by daily active addresses (DAA), concluding Q3 with an average of over 400,000 DAA. Moreover, stablecoin emerged as the sole category, as reviewed by the report, to exhibit growth in Q3 2023, surpassing DeFi, Social, Gaming, and NFT categories.

Key insights from QuickNode’s On-Chain Report encapsulate:

Consumer engagement was predominantly driven by financial operations, with stablecoin activity usurping the throne from DeFi.

Primarily propelled by the Friend.tech wave, DeSocial is on the rise with captivating product launches. The prospect of a Web2 scale social app could radically overturn the existing adoption metrics.

Development engagement persists robust solely on Optimism’s OP Mainnet, indicating that developers perceive EVM scaling solutions as a pivotal issue to address imminently.

Forthcoming trends, as delineated by investment figures, hint that gaming and AI propositions are the domains where the blockchain milieu will witness the most significant emergence in the near future.

Reflecting on the report, QuickNode’s Co-founder and CEO, Dmitry Shklovsky articulated: “By centering the narrative around blockchain developers and end users, we gain valuable insights into the roadmap for building a sustainable and rapidly expanding Web3 ecosystem. These insights, merged with the context of product launches and investments, provide us a comprehensive story of where we’re heading.”

The report provides extensive statistics and examinations categorized by Stablecoins, DeFi, NFT, Social dApps, and EVM-scaling Solutions.
