Even though still in its early stages, Layer-2 network LINEA is shaping up to become a formidable scaling solution for Ethereum. Q1 2024 has been a huge success for LINEA, driven by the following metrics: 🚀 In Q1 2024 an average of 134,607 wallets used dapps on Linea every day 💥 64% more transactions took place, reaching 64 million 🤑 While the total value locked on Linea increased 218% to $186 million In the chart below you can see that April was even bigger 🤯 cc Consensys Declan Fox

Blockchain gaming heating up! 🔥 More investments in April than the entire Q1, and the highest monthly number since January 2021. Our gaming report for April 2024 in association with Blockchain Game Alliance is out now.

Speaker Announcement 🎤 Dunica Dragos is speaking at #NFTBucharest. Co-Founder of DappRadar, he started his blockchain adventure in 2013, gradually developing a passion for gaming with the exciting new area of smart contracts and NFTs & leading to DappRadar in early 2018, which has grown to be the top platform for discovering and analyzing decentralized applications, making Web3 accessible to millions of people across the globe.

An average of 7 million wallets interacted with blockchain applications in Q1 2024. That's an increase of 77% QoQ! During the past quarter we welcomed ZetaChain, WEMIX, Astar zkEVM, Blast, Aptos Labs, and Oasys to our platform. Building the World's Dapp Store that allows everybody to discover, track and analyze decentralized applications across all chains and all product categories. 🎉

DappRadar is excited to announce that we’ve become a partner of the Decentralized Infrastructure Network. Together with Infura, Tencent Cloud, Google, Microsoft, and more, DappRadar will work towards a future where decentralized services are available to all. Initiated by Infura and 50+ DIN Providers, the consortium works together to build a public infrastructure for an improved internet, which begins with the Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN). DIN is a decentralized RPC-as-a-service that provides developers with highly-available and reliable blockchain infrastructure. Through DIN developers can connect to Ethereum and other top-tier blockchains, including the recently integrated Layer-2 network Blast. Thanks to DIN, users can shift RPC traffic from one partner to another. This is particularly useful in case an RPC is dealing with an outage. Decentralization of this service is required in order to guarantee a public good network that can serve as a foundational layer for the improved internet. DappRadar’s efforts in decentralization of existing organizations and topnotch expertise in the Web3 industry has not gone unnoticed. We hope to contribute our expertise to the design and implementation of DIN. DappRadar has 6 years of experience, offering services to the most dedicated Web3 users. In addition, our PRO community members are among the most blockchain savvy users in the ecosystem. Our expertise will help to shape DIN into a decentralized, public infrastructure for all blockchain users. These are just the first steps of the partnership between DappRadar and DIN, and future steps could also involve technical support, community building and marketing. Together we aim to bring more services, innovations, and value to the Web3 community. 

We have launched PRO Airdrops. 🎉 This initiative rewards those who are curious about Web3. Those who try new dapps, on new chains, and experiment with fascinating ideas. That's why DappRadar PRO members will receive regular airdrops, to welcome them into new communities and introduce them to new products and ecosystems. PRO Airdrops hand people the keys to new realms, and we couldn't be more excited to distribute $OP (Optimism) to our PRO community as a first airdrop. One of the unique features of Web3 is not the way it operates, but the intrinsic value that 'community' brings. It's the network effect of aligned people that form a community, that then works together with another community. This isn't only about work and effort, but also financial alignment. You hold my coin, I will hold yours. DappRadar DAO will become the DAO of DAOs. PRO members are among the most dedicated users of Web3 tools. And PRO Airdrops helps them with discovery, while developers can use it to attract a high quality audience. We. All. Win. #Web3 #marketing #Community #useracquisition

Asian investors, developers, companies and consumers are dominating the Web3 gaming market, setting it up for tremendous growth. Out of $14.6 billion in blockchain gaming investments, 55% involved Asian VCs and firms. Did you know 10.6% of the Japanese gamers have tried a blockchain game? That's a 68% increase from last year! Together with Pacific Meta we have published a great report about Web3 x Gaming x Asia, and it's filled with valuable insights. Shout out to Sara Gherghelas for her writing efforts, and Nikita Alekseev for the graphics design. You guys are stars!🤩

The rise of blockchain gaming takes place slow and steady, as February saw a 20% increase in active wallets using gaming projects. Polygon Labs is finding lots of success recently, but also zkSync, Ronin Network and SKALE Network have seen considerable growth. Despite seeing a 2% drop, Oasys deserves a special mention. Their focus on blockchain-powered games and the Asian market is pushing the industry forward in the region. They partnered with Ubisoft and SEGA, for example. 👇 see the report in the comments
