Avalanche (AVAX) Makes Waves with One Million Monthly Active Addresses
Avalanche (AVAX), a competing blockchain to Ethereum (ETH), achieved a significant milestone in May by surpassing one million monthly active addresses.
This marks the first time that the proof of stake blockchain has reached this number, according to data from the crypto analytics platform Artemis, as reported by The Avalanche Snow Report.
The growth in decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoins has been attributed to the surge in activity on the network. In April, Avalanche broke its previous record of 840,000 monthly active addresses.
Stablecoins now constitute 32% of on-chain users, a significant increase from 6% year to date. Additionally, DeFi accounts for 33% of daily active users.
Avalanche’s recent achievement coincides with the launch of AvaCloud, a web3 launchpad designed to facilitate the development of no-code, fully managed blockchain ecosystems.

The current trading price for AVAX stands at $14.12, showing a 0.48% increase in the last 24 hours.
