NEAR Monthly Active Users(MAUs)
Aug 1, 2023 - From the NEAR Foundation’s Q2 Transparency Report Our north star metric, Monthly Active Accounts, was at 1.1M at the end of Q2, 100k shy of the 1.2M target. We’ve seen continued strong traction from SWEAT, who are still the largest partner on NEAR in terms of MAA. The slight miss to the goal can mainly be attributed to longer than anticipated lead times in partnerships going from announcement to mainnet.

SOLANA - New User Activity
Feb 12, 2022 - Solana is a smart contracts platform powered by the SOL coin. It was launched in 2017 by former Qualcomm software engineer Anatoly Yakovenko, and it features a consensus mechanism that blends PoS with proof of history. Specifically, Solana timestamps incoming transactions, creating a verifiable order of events, which accelerates network throughput. Solana can theoretically handle 50,000 TPS, and those transactions are finalized in just 13 seconds. That incredible scalability keeps network fees low. The average transaction on Solana costs a fraction of a cent, much less than the $0.44 now charged on Cardano, and orders of magnitude below the $20 you might expect to pay on Ethereum. In short, the Solana blockchain is already fast and cheap, and that has translated into significant adoption. The platform boasts over 1,300 blockchain projects, including dApps like Magic Eden and Solanart, the fifth- and sixth-most-popular non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces in terms of total traders. Solana also ranks as the sixth-largest DeFi ecosystem, with $8.7 billion invested in the blockchain. It just launched Solana Pay, a platform that will allow consumers to send digital payments to merchants using stablecoins like USD Coin, a cryptocurrency that's tied to the price of the U.S. dollar. Because Solana Pay is powered by blockchain technology, it eliminates the need for banks and credit networks, meaning merchants are charged a fraction of a cent for transactions.

Anchor total borrow and deposit comparison over 120 days
Jan 15, 2022 - Anchor is a savings protocol offering low-volatile yields on Terra stablecoin deposits. The Anchor rate is powered by a diversified stream of staking rewards from major proof-of-stake blockchains, and therefore can be expected to be much more stable than money market interest rates. We believe that a stable, reliable source of yield in Anchor has the opportunity to become the reference interest rate in crypto. How does an anchor borrow work? In Anchor Protocol, depositors are incentivized to lend Terra stablecoins to Anchor's money market, which is borrowed out by borrowers through bAsset collateralized loans. Interest paid by borrowers are given to depositors, along with subsidies generated from rewards of deposited bAsset collaterals. How much can you borrow on anchor? The maximum borrow limit is 50% of the value of your collateral
