Data-driven conclusions

The record low changes in the number of mined blocks per day in the Ethereum network – as well as completely insignificant changes in block sizes – indicate that the Ethereum chain has fully felt the effects of The Merge and has fully adapted.

In November, the data shows a further decline in all network activity at all levels. Most of all, the decrease is noticeable in the number of new ERC-20 tokens created in all networks. This figure has fallen significantly.

Winter begins in the world, the planet is preparing for the holidays, but crypto winter is still going on.
