Layer 2 scaling solution () is establishing a name in the gaming industry following impressive growth in daily unique active wallets (dUAW) last month.
According to blockchain intelligence platform DappRadar, Polygon registered 138,081 dUAWs in March, marking a 53% increase from the numbers registered in February.
Polygon is now the second largest gaming blockchain after Boomland’s Hunters On-Chain was launched on its testnet last month. Since then, the action RPG has become one of the top five blockchain games.
“Polygon, a blockchain formerly known for DeFi DApps [finanças descentralizadas], overtook Hive this month to secure second place. This is a positive sign for Polygon as it is now gaining recognition as a gaming blockchain.”
The Wax Blockchain() maintains its place as the top gaming blockchain with its dUAW far outperforming that of Polygon by over 228%.
“Wax has emerged as the most active gaming blockchain with an average of 314,976 daily unique active wallets in March. This represented an 8.11% drop from the previous month. The data also revealed that Alien Worlds dominated Wax activity at 66%.”
DappRadar says that while on-chain gaming has slowed down over the past month, gaming still represents a portion of DApp activity.
“On-chain gaming activity decreased 3.33% in March to 741,567 daily unique active wallets; yet, games account for 45.6% of DApp industry activity in Q1 2023.”
