The number of unique addresses in the Build and Build (BNB) Chain has surpassed the number in Ethereum, according to the statement made on December 22. It has not surpassed Bitcoin. According to Glassnode data, we know that there are over 1 billion unique addresses.

 

According to Etherscan data, there are currently over 217 million unique addresses on Ethereum. Then, for the BscScan, there are over 233 million unique addresses in BNB Chain. So, BNB Chain is a larger blockchain network than Ethereum according to this current indicator.

Blockchain developers attribute the network’s success in 2022 to initiatives launched this year. The BNB Sidechain protocol has allowed decentralized application (DApp) developers to run their DApps on separate shards in the network, reducing network density and transaction overhead.

In addition, a $10 million incentive program was launched for DApp developers. This has increased the number of DApps developed on BNB Chain and thus the number of interacting users.

After the eventful purchase of Elon Musk, Twitter has added a new feature related to the crypto finance industry. This new feature was announced by the Twitter Business account on December 21.

 

According to the statement, users can now access the current Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) price indexes by typing their names or symbols in the search bar.

 

This is actually a new improvement of the hashtag-like feature “$Cashtags”. That is, when users share the symbol of a stock, exchange-traded fund, or cryptocurrency with a dollar sign in front of them, they will be able to access the price index and graph of the mentioned asset, just like hashtags.

 

Regarding data graphs, there is also a link to Robinhood at the bottom left. This indicates that Robinhood, an individual trading platform, and Twitter have collaborated. There are also claims that the price data in question was pulled from TradingView. Regarding the data sources, no explanation has been made yet from the firms.
