The Transformation of the Web3 World: The Development History of Computers and Wallets
The birth of smart contracts has brought new possibilities to the vision of global computing. With the rapid emergence of various applications, ranging from trading to lending, from gaming to NFTs, the combination of blockchain technology and smart contracts has significantly simplified the on-chain development process and created conditions for interoperability between applications.
According to data platform statistics, as of August 2022, the number of applications on various public chains has exceeded 4,000, and is still growing at a rate of dozens each month.
In the blockchain world, an address is the basic unit for users to interact with smart contracts. Unlike traditional addresses, on-chain addresses can be completely anonymous, requiring no identity verification, and users can create and operate multiple addresses. Having an on-chain address signifies a formal entry into the crypto world. According to official Ethereum data, as of August 2022, the cumulative number of addresses has exceeded 200 million, with a daily transaction volume maintained at 100.
