ApeSwap Crosses 1 Million Monthly Active Users and Boasts 79% MTD Gains

ApeSwap’s massive user growth over the last 30 days pushes the Binance Smart Chain platform into second place for most used Dapps in DeFi.

1 Million Active Users‍

ApeSwap has reported that more than 1 million active users have visited its protocol over the last four weeks. Following a successful conclusion to their #HotDeFiSummer, ApeSwap can say it was a success and that the jungle is bustling.

The news was reported on August 26th by ApeSwap founder Grandpa Obie Dobo who tweeted an image showing ApeSwap’s Google Analytics over the last 28 days. Over the previous 30 days, ApeSwap held second place in the rankings for most users across all decentralized apps (Dapps), showing a 75% increase in users, according to DappRadar. ‍

“Haters will say it’s fake… here’s ApeSwap’s Google Analytics over the last 28 days,” Grandpa Obie Dobo wrote in his recent Twitter post. 

ApeSwap’s crossing of 1 million active users over 28 days is massive, as many protocols never come close to hitting such a number. The tremendous growth in users has launched ApeSwap into second place for most used Dapps over the last 30 days, beating out the highly popular UniSwap V3.

The big news also came with huge positive price action in ApeSwap’s native token, BANANA. During the last 30 days, ApeSwap’s BANANA token price rose 79%, according to CoinGecko. 

Beating the Competition

What is perhaps most interesting about ApeSwap’s user growth is that ApeSwap over the last 30 days surpassed their main Ethereum competitor UniSwap V3 in unique active wallets visiting the platform, according to DappRadar. The UniSwap protocol is an Ethereum based decentralized exchange (DEX) with a market cap hovering around $14 billion dollars, according to CoinGecko. 

The ApeSwap protocol beat UniSwap in user activity and retention but still lags far behind UniSwap in terms of market cap. The group attracted new users all summer with a series of token offerings, and it’s showing to have worked.

However, the high engagement on ApeSwap’s platform is significant when looking to determine if Binance Smart Chain (BSC) DEXs will begin to fully beat out Ethereum DEXs due to BSC Dapps having high speeds and low transaction fees. 

“ApeSwap attracted 98% more unique active wallets, boosting its total to 345,720 for the period. On the other hand, Uniswap is lagging behind with 215,900 unique active wallets,” according to Hristina Yordanova in her article on DappRadar from August 26. 

The news is significant when comparing BSC and Ethereum. BSC now holds the two most used Dapps over the last 30 days, according to DappRadar. Although ApeSwap has only 51,579 addresses (according to BscScan) and UniSwap has 265,770 addresses (according to Etherscan), ApeSwap’s massive growth in users may signal that Binance Smart Chain is the network Decentralized Finance (DeFi) users prefer. 

Time will tell if BSC Dapps can continue to beat out Ethereum Dapps in user activity. Still, ApeSwap’s massive user growth is a significant signal that BSC Dapps are capturing the attention of DeFi users. The success also goes to show that major campaigns like #HotDeFiSummer can pay off.
