Record high for Web3 user engagement in Q2 2024
In Q2 2024, Web3 user engagement reached unprecedented levels, with approx 10 million unique daily active wallets (dUAW). This represents an increase of 40% compared to the first quarter of the year.
A report from DappRadar of July 4 highlights the unprecedented growth that has hit several decentralized applications (DApp) sectors, leading to an overall bull trend.
Social dApps and NFT have been the key players of this expansion. The social sector recorded the largest increase, with a 66% increase in dUAW.
The blockchain gaming sector has also seen an increase in users despite a slight decline in market share.
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) have seen a significant increase in user activity. Uniswap registered an 80% increase in dUAW, while Raydium saw a 134% growth, thanks to the influx of meme coin traders.
The NFT marketplaces have reached peak usage since the first quarter of 2023, with $4 billion in trading volume across 14.9 million individual transactions.
Despite the increase in the number of users, the total value of cryptocurrencies locked in DeFi applications (TVL) has fallen by $7 billion, a decline of 4% compared to the previous quarter.
DappRadar has warned that dUAW’s dramatic growth may not be sustainable in the long term. Part of the increase can be attributed to the phenomenon of aerial farmingin which users engage in activities to earn airdrop tokens.
The air droplets of Explosion And ZKsync in June contributed significantly to this peak.
The report highlights the need to improve user experience, develop solid roadmaps and have strong teams to ensure continuous and sustainable growth in Web3’s future.
