This BNB chain Weekly Recap is provided solely for informational purposes and does not constitute investment advice. Week 19 was a memorable week for the market when the Terra ecosystem collapsed, dragging the entire market down with it. The BNB chain was also significantly affected as the price of $BNB fell from $358 to $271 on May 12, a decrease of approximately 24.3%. The price has now recovered back to $300, but the market is not yet active again. Let’s take a look at some updates for the 19th week of 2022 with CoinCu.

Network Growth

Daily Transactions

During Week 18 (May 2nd-8th), Daily Transactions averaged around 4.3 million, a fairly active trading week. During Week 19, we saw a significant decline due to a sharp market correction; many people fled the market, resulting in this Week’s Average Daily Transactions increasing significantly to 6,930,916 transactions. An increase of more than 60.2% compared to the number of transactions per day of the previous week.

Unique Addresses

The average number of unique addresses increasing per day is 605,054 addresses, a significant increase of about 331% compared to 182,554 addresses in week 18. This is in stark contrast to the current bleak market. A number of new users are approaching the market, especially the BNB chain ecosystem.

Active Addresses

BNB smart chain addresses were active from May 9 to 15, with about 1,113,668 active addresses per day, an approximate 3.6% increase over the number of active addresses per day of week 18. The lowest number is on the last day of the week, May 16, with 992,024 active addresses. And the high of the week was May 11 with 1,204,532 (this was the day when Terra collapsed, leading to huge volatility for the whole market)

Total Value Locked

Total value Locked has plummeted to $6.96 billion from week 18 of $11.26 billion, down approximately 38.1% from the previous week. This is significant compared to other ecosystems after a week of strong market decline.

Highlight Events

BNB Chain Prepares to Cross 3 Billion Transactions

BNB Chain is preparing to cross the mammoth 3 billion mark in transactions as protocols on the chain continue to attract users and activity even during a market-wide pullback.

The most used chain in the industry took to Twitter to underline the fact that it had crossed the 2.9 billion mark in transactions on May 8. The rising figure becomes even more astounding given that BTC has plummeted to just below the $30,000 mark at the time of writing, according to the CoinMarketCap a figure last seen in the summer of 2021. 

The rise in transactions may have been positively impacted by the burgeoning NFT scene on the chain, with several collections beginning to see a significant upswing in user interest. In addition, the flagship protocol PancakeSwap has also set down its intentions for the coming year, which adds to the longer-term expectations for the chain to keep pushing ahead.

PancakeSwap Ready to Revitalize Tokenomics

PancakeSwap is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) built on the BNB Chain. It offers users various features such as Liquidity Pools, Swapping, Yield Farming, Perpetuals Trading, Syrup Pools, Automated Market Maker, Initial Farm Offering (IFO), NFT profile system, and many others. 

PancakeSwap is looking to make revolutionary changes to their tokenomics that will see a maximum supply cap of 750 million $CAKE and the introduction of benefits for locked tokens. 

Alongside the capping of $CAKE’s supply, the token will retain most of its use-cases and also see additional use-cases for locked $CAKE derivatives like weighted voting, boosted farm yields, boosted IFO allocations, and even more still to come. The platform focuses on the future and assumes there are no changes to the rate of emissions. A supply cap of 750 million sets forth an approximate runway of a minimum of three years before the supply reaches this cap.

Learn and Earn Campaign by BNB Chain to Kick off on May 9

BNB Chain has unveiled a Learn & Earn campaign with a grand total of $400,000 in prizes. Titled ‘How to Web3 on BNB Chain,’ the program will invite users to learn about Web3 and concepts like Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Stablecoins, Metaverse, GameFi, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

Alongside BNB Chain, Project Galaxy and CoinMarketCap are also hosting the beneficial event and all three organizations have come together in aid of making the onboarding process as seamless as possible with education largely understood as the surest way to equip users with the tools they need.
