In the wake of the recent market crash, Consensys has come forward and shared facts around the Ethereum network that will put some faith back into the network.

With the long “crypto-winter” closing in, we get a closer look at the numbers behind the technology and development so far.

As per etherscan, As many as 353 million transactions have been processed by the network to date. On January 4th, Ethereum hit its peak processing 1.3 million transactions in 24 hours with average daily transactions since June at 610,000.

In March 2018, the network transacted ~50 million ETH monthly with nominal month-to-month fluctuations. The average ETH per transaction has also doubled from ~2 ETH to 5 ETH per transaction.

The average drops to ~1.87 ETH when not considering the top 10 accounts and ~1.59 ETH without the top 50.

Despite all of Tron’s effort to attack Ethereum, adoption is at an all-time high with Enterprises, private investment firms and governments. Even when the media is questioning Ethereum’s resolve, their community has stood strong and are still growing.

Blockmanity’s Take The cryptocurrency market as a whole is going through tough times. The numbers shared by Consensys shows us that Ethereum despite its market price is still growing. It’s just a matter of time when they solve their scalability issues and build the applications for mass adoption.
