Tezos Transactions and Smart Contract Activity Surges to New Highs
According to CoinMetrics’ latest ‘State of the Network’ issue published on February 1, 2022, between January 2021 and January 2022, the number of transactions on Tezos smart contracts increased to more than 50,000 per day from less than 10,000 per day.
The report noted that the growth has been driven by major brands leveraging the blockchain network for NFTs in recent months. Such brands include Gap which recently released an NFT collection on Tezos, which sold out almost instantly.
Additionally, gaming development company Ubisoft also announced Tezos support for gaming NFTs in December. Another notable project utilizing the network is the audio NFT platform, one of which has partnerships with several top brands including Warner Music Group.
In addition, active addresses on the network are at an all-time high of over 45,000 while active smart contract addresses have tripled from under 200,000 to over 600,000 over the past 12 months.
Besides the smart contract addresses gains, Tezos recently announced that the network attained a record six million contract calls in Jan. 2021, a new monthly high.
