TVL, revenue takes a dip

However, at press time, the popularity of these dApps wasn’t enough to increase the daily active users on the Avalanche network.

According to Dune Analytics’ data, the number of daily active addresses on the network fell from 340,000 to 238,000 in the span of the last three months.

This decline in activity impacted Avalanche’s TVL which ended up falling from $958 million to $827.29 million in the last month.

Well, the revenue generated by the Avalanche was also affected due to the lack of activity on the network.

According to the token terminal’s data, the revenue fell by 16% in the week. Cumulatively, the overall revenue figure collected by the protocol, at the time of writing, stood at $606,600.

Even though the protocol faced its fair share of challenges, the AVAX token managed to do relatively well. The price of AVAX spiked over the last few days, along with its volume.

The volatility of the token also declined within the same time frame. Thus, making the token more attractive to risk-averse investors at press time.
