Tezos In 2021
The Tezos ecosystem has shown a LOT of growth and adoption this year.
The total transaction volume has grown a lot to 8.9 million this month. https://tzstats.com/ (Which is 23 % of Ethereum’s transaction volume this month which hit 38 million transactions in December). https://etherscan.io/chart/tx
If we look at user interaction with smart contracts, we see an enormous increase in 2021. To measure this growth we look at contract calls, which are specific transactions that indicate an interaction with a smart contract. From 0.15 million mainnet transaction calls in January, to 5.5 million mainnet transaction calls in December. https://better-call.dev/stats/mainnet/general
The growth has been exponential and almost every month a new high was set. The activity can be traced back to a diverse amount of use-cases.
A 2021 summary
Household names have started building on Tezos : Ubisoft, Red Bull, McLaren, The Grammy Awards, Groupe Casino, Two Swiss cities, Two French cities, Whitney Houston, Doja Cat, Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park), Cambridge University, The Catholic Church, UN Migration Agency, The Whitworth Museum, Cushman & Wakefield, Deloitte, Société Générale, Norwegian Red Cross, Save the Children, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and more.
NFTs have shown to be a large factor in activity this year. This year we had 33 million contract calls on mainnet, 24.5 million transactions on mainnet were NFT related. Even the Roman Catholic Church launched an NFT on Tezos.
The list of dApp launches and real-life use-cases this year is diverse:
