Ethereum by the Numbers – September 2019

That it’s even possible to put a list like this together is quite a testament to the transparency and auditability of the Ethereum network. From a $20 million bond settled on mainnet to 1.5 million ETH locked in MakerDAO smart contracts, these data points are signals that we can learn from to understand the rate of progress and the emerging trends across the ecosystem. More funding resources means more Web3 devs going full-time. Advanced permissioning solutions means more enterprises considering mainnet. And every newsbreak about the centralization of risk and capital in our current financial infrastructure only means more motivation for the disruptors who are pushing open and decentralized finance forward.
