Top Dapps of the Week:
Here are the top 10 dapps for the week according to DappRadar:
Additions: Superfluid, 1inch (organic growth)
- Superfluid: an asset streaming protocol that enables subscriptions, salaries, and rewards for web3 businesses. They’re live on Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and BNB
- over the past 7 days, Superfluid saw an increase of close to 10,000% in Unique Active Wallets (30K in last week)
- platform tx’s up over 7,000% in past 7 days (43K)
- I think the reason for this sudden increase comes from their recent partnership with PlanetIX game. Looks like PlanetIX now uses Superfluid to “power its new premium currencies: Astro Gold, and Astro Gold Lite
- PlanetIX introduced “Astro Cap”, an exchange service for the tokens mentioned above (function as Super Tokens). Astro Cap allows players to exchange IXT (the game’s native token), for Astro Gold
- these gold tokens allow players to obtain “Contract Tiles”, which “provide several production benefits (e.g., increased facility and drone efficiency) for Planet IX’s Mission Control feature, and cost 1 Astro Gold/Gold Lite per month to own.”
- since the Gold tokens are “super tokens”, the tiles can be rented by the second/minute/hour
- By integrating Super Token functionality into Astro Gold and Astro Gold Lite, Planet IX is giving players the freedom to own in-game assets on their
terms. - a more friendly approach to micro payments
Removals: WAM, 0x Protocol
