Data-driven conclusions

Overall activity on Binance Smart Chain continues to decline. However, we are seeing a slight increase in the cost of gas on the Binance Smart Chain network – as well as an increase in the total number of unique active wallets.

At the same time, the average number of unique active addresses per day has decreased. Indicators, such as the number of new smart contracts deployed, completed transactions and average blocks per day, continue to decline.

The data suggests that the activity of the BSC network is declining, suggesting a continuation of the bearish trend.
