Transaction volume for Ethereum applications surpassed $12 billion in July, according to a report published yesterday by DappRadar. “2020 continues to be dedicated to the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem,” wrote the DeFi metrics site in its report.
DappRadar found that Ethereum transaction volumes hit their all-time high in July. DeFi dapps accounted for 92% of all transactions, it found.
“The biggest contributors to the category were Compound, Aave, and Curve in July 2020. They generated 48%, 14%, and 14% of transaction volumes respectively,” it said..
DeFi, or decentralized finance, refers to non-custodial financial applications such as synthetic stocks, decentralized stablecoins, decentralized exchanges and lending protocols.
DappRadar attributes the rise of DeFi, whose market cap is closing in on $9 billion according to metrics site CoinGecko, to so-called yield farming.
Some DeFi lending protocols, to encourage loyalty among people earning interest on their platforms, started issuing governance tokens that let users vote on the future of the networks.
These tokens became valuable, giving users an extra reason to stick around. Compound started in late June when it issued COMP. Then other protocols followed; later came Balancer’s BAL, Yearn Finance’s YFI, mStabe’s MTA, Uma Project’s UMA, and others.
The tokens soared in value: COMP started trading at $64.50 when it launched on June 17; its daily trading volume upon launch was $155,475, according to metrics site CoinMarketCap. By June 21 COMP was worth $327, and on July 6, trading volume peaked at $304 million.
It appears that there’s no stopping DeFi, as the total value of assets locked passes another milestone...again. The total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols has once again passed $4 billion according to DeFi Pulse, as the total amount of digital assets and value for currencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin continue to climb. The level up comes less than two weeks after crossing the $3 billion mark, indicating an accelerating pace of adoption for Ethereum’s hottest class of protocols. We’ve been he...
Other coins boomed much later. And ETH, the native token of Ethereum, which houses most DeFi protocols, on Sunday hit $411, its highest price in two years.
DappRadar also attributes some of the growth to volume on DEXes, or decentralized exchanges. Still, these are relatively minor: “Decentralized exchanges account for only 4% of total transaction volumes,” found DappRadar.

Developers have proposed a network upgrade for Dogecoin, which experts say could result in an explosion of activity on the meme coin’s blockchain as games, apps, and and new protocols are deployed. Put forward by DogeOS, the team behind the MyDoge wallet, the proposal nicknamed OP_CHECKZKP would introduce zero-knowledge proofs and enable zk-rollups, a form of layer-2 scaling network, as a way to boost scalability, decentralization, and security for the Dogecoin network. “The proposal transforms...
It was launched as an exclusive cryptocurrency, only for those with deep pockets. But after a vote, now the average Joe will soon be able to buy President Trump-backed WLFI from exchanges.

A blockchain researcher accidentally burned approximately $58,000 worth of Pump.fun’s PUMP token on Solana—but he told Decrypt that he isn’t “sad or angry” about the costly mistake. The mistake came after he bought $40,000 worth of the token in Pump.fun’s sought-after token sale on Saturday, which sold out in just 12 minutes. Once the token launched, PUMP debuted at a price of $0.005827, which is 45% higher than its ICO valuation, bringing the unlucky trader’s losses to a total of $58,270. On Su...
