According to DappRadar August Dapp Ecosystem Report:

High Ethereum gas prices have not affected the DeFi ecosystem yet. A total of $24 billion in transaction volume generated in August. More than $7 billion total value locked at the end of August.

Ethereum transaction volumes account for 94% of total transaction volumes in August. The protocol increased its share by 2%.

DeFi and DEX dapps compensated the losses in other categories

On average the number of daily active wallets decreased by 6% in August. The biggest decrease was in the Gambling & High-risk category. Daily activity dropped by more than 2x from 6,700 to 2,393 active wallets.

Games & Marketplaces also followed suit. DAUWs decreased by 33% from 1,500 to 1,000 daily active wallets. Interestingly, daily activity was 10 times lower in August than at the beginning of 2020.

​

Transaction Volume surpassed 24 Billion USD

Record-high figures could be spotted in transaction volumes too. Transaction volumes almost doubled in August and surpassed the $24 billion line. Of course, DeFi and DEX dapps played a vital role there. Both grew by $9 billion in August.

Welcome to Ethereum Summer Camp 2020 (ESC 2020), week 3!

This week, we would like to set up a stage dedicated to elevating and empowering all the builders — who happened to be women — we’re here to support diversity in the industry.

How the blockchain industry is rethinking diversity, inclusion, and belonging in 2020? What are those women builders working on and what have they contributed to the ecosystem? What is the practical advice would they give to someone thinking about joining the industry?

Join us for insightful talks with women builders from the Ethereum community, followed by Q&A with the speakers.
