Waves Platform: 1 Million Block Reached and Other Numbers

Being the most advanced blockchain ecosystems in the world, the Waves Platform has been rapidly evolving since the day it came into operation. Waves is gradually enhancing its technology and products, thus improving user experience, as well. The statistics speak for themselve. The millionth block was signed at 1:56 PM UTC, 14 May 2018: http://wavesexplorer.com/blocks/1000000. Check out some other great Waves statistics below.

Active wallets

Waves is becoming more and more attractive to new users. Yet another proof of this is the number of active wallets on the Waves blockchain. There were 282 149 active wallets in March 2018, compared to 6 826 in March 2017.

DEX volume

Decentralised exchange is one of the cornerstones of the Waves Ecosystem and Waves client. You can trade tokens on DEX, easily, swiftly and securely, while retaining complete control over your balance. This is a great trading tool. No wonder the 24h DEX volume is more than $2 million right now.

WAVES leased

The focus on the community is hugely important for Waves. That is why the platform's team pay much attention to incentivizing users. For example, any sum of WAVES can be leased to miners to generate interest (you can refund at any time in a few clicks). 24 573 305 WAVES were leased from 2 697 unique addresses in March 2018. There are 60 million leased WAVES circulating overall.

Tokens overall

Waves is perfect for issuance tokens. Currently, there are more than 13 500 tokens issued on the Waves Platform.

Market capitalization

The total market capitalization of Waves is about $600 000 000.

Number of transactions

From March 2017 to March 2018 the number of transactions on the Waves Platform has risen significantly — from 281 282 to 2 945 431.

Nodes

There are 214 Waves nodes out there. By the way, anyone can run Waves node and profit from it. No special skills, knowledge or expensive hardware are required for that. A simple hosted server and at least 1 000 WAVES is all you’ll need.

Transactions per minute

Waves-NG is the fastest protocol in existence — currently 6 000 txs per minute are possible. Besides that, it is the most scalable and throughput-capable, compared to others.

Token issuance time

On the Waves client (available for desktop, standalone and mobile), you can issue your own token in less than 60 seconds, using the Token Launcher.

WAVES

This number might be considered symbolical, yet impressive: there are 100 million WAVES tokens circulating on the platform. Since Waves is using an enhanced version of PoS-protocol — LPoS system running on a cutting-edge consensus protocol Waves-NG — there’s no need to issue new WAVES tokens.
