Weekly new and active contracts

💎 Key insigths

• During the year, a total of 573T of gas and 17.9M ETH were used, on average, 281M of gas and 8.77 ETH were used per 1 contract per year.
• We can also notice an upward trend in total used gas per week and a downward trend in the cost of fee

What is Ethereum?

Ethereum is a technology that's home to digital money, global payments, and applications. The community has built a booming digital economy, bold new ways for creators to earn online, and so much more. It's open to everyone, wherever you are in the world – all you need is the internet

What is a smart contract?

A "smart contract" is simply a program that runs on the Ethereum blockchain. It's a collection of code (its functions) and data (its state) that resides at a specific address on the Ethereum blockchain

Smart contracts are a type of Ethereum account. This means they have a balance and can be the target of transactions. However they're not controlled by a user, instead they are deployed to the network and run as programmed. User accounts can then interact with a smart contract by submitting transactions that execute a function defined on the smart contract. Smart contracts can define rules, like a regular contract, and automatically enforce them via the code. Smart contracts cannot be deleted by default, and interactions with them are irreversible

Popular examples of smart contracts are lending apps, decentralized trading exchanges, insurance, crowdfunding apps - basically anything you can think of

Who can write a smart contract?

Anyone can write a smart contract and deploy it to the network. Ethereum has developer-friendly languages for writing smart contracts: Solidity and Vyper

Smart contracts are public on Ethereum and can be thought of as open APIs. This means you can call other smart contracts in your own smart contract to greatly extend what's possible. Contracts can even deploy other contracts

• Weekly new and active contracts
• Weekly new and active contract owners
• Top contracts by number of Executions
• Event types of contracts
• Top contract owners by number of created contracts
• Gas Used and Fee for the execution of the contracts

💎 Key insigths

• Since the beginning of the year, 2.04M contracts have been executed, only 185k of them (9%) are new.
• After January, there is a significant decrease in the creation of new contracts

💎 Key insigths

• Since the beginning of the year, there are only 147.9k unique contract holders, about 97.8% of them are new
• After January, there is a significant decrease in the number of contract owners

💎 Key insigths

• Top 1 contract by number of executions - 0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2 - it’s a token contract WETH9
• Also, in terms of the number of executions, 2 more contracts stand out quite strongly: TetherToken (USDT)0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7 and FiatTokenProxy (USDC) 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48. They are also token contracts
• About 62.3% of contracts were executed only 1 time

💎 Key insigths

• 38% of contracts are contracts with event type "Upgraded". However, since the beginning of June, the number of executions of this type of contract has noticeably decreased: from 30-50k executions per week to about 1k times
• The weekly number of executions of other types of contracts (from the Top 10) remains approximately the same throughout the year

💎 Key insigths

• Among contract owners, 3 addresses are distinguished by the number of written contracts:
  • 0x808b4da0be6c9512e948521452227efc619bea52 - BlockFi provides credit services to markets with limited access to simple products like a savings account
  • 0xd2c82f2e5fa236e114a81173e375a73664610998 - CoinList is a platform for new crypto offerings

• If we look at the number of new contracts for all time, not just for this year, it is noticeable that the bulk of the contracts were written long before January 2022
• Top 3 contracts by number of executions - are token contracts (WETH9, USDT and USDC)
• About 62.3% of contracts were executed only 1 time since since the beginning of this year
• 38% of contracts are contracts with event type "Upgraded". However, since the beginning of June, the number of executions of this type of contract has noticeably decreased: from 30-50k executions per week to about 1k times
• The weekly number of executions of other types of contracts (from the Top 10) remains approximately the same throughout the year
• Among contract owners, 3 addresses are distinguished by the number of written contracts. They belong to BlockFi, CoinList and Bitstamp
• We can notice an upward trend in total used gas per week and a downward trend in the cost of fee
