Bitcoin Network Activity Spikes to Two-Year High Thanks to NFTs, CryptoQuant Says
Bitcoin Network Activity Spikes to Two-Year High Thanks to NFTs, CryptoQuant Says
Transactions are coming from the popularity of the recently deployed Ordinals protocol, which allows for NFT-like tokens to be stored on-chain.
According to a report by CryptoQuant citing data on the chain, online activity in the Bitcoin block chain has reached levels not seen since China banned login password miners in May 2021.
This rise in popularity stems from the popularity of ordinal contracts, which allow unchangeable dynamic passwords (NFT) to be stored on bitcoin blockchains. According to BitMEX's exploration, NFT's thematic activity in Bitcoin has grown exponentially, forging more than 13000 numbers since December.
According to CryptoQuant, the number of seven-day moving average transactions in the Bitcoin block chain reached 345000, a figure not seen since miners were forced to pack their bags and leave China in the second quarter of 2021.
Numbers store NFT directly from the chain, unlike NFT in Etherum, which uses services such as IPF or Filecoin to store them. This has led to some of the largest block sizes in Bitcoin history, with many blocks reaching the 4-megabyte (MB) block size limit.
This has also increased transaction costs, but it is still less than the level of the previous year.
Within the Bitcoin community, the popularity of ordinal numbers has sparked an important debate about whether this is the "appropriate" use of the Bitcoin blockchain. Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of the pseudonym, posted a post at a Bitcoin conversation seminar strongly opposing the main non-bank use of Bitcoin.
While some anti-ordinal people cite the probability of an increase in transaction fees as an excuse to resist ordinal numbers, CryptoQuant stressed that rising demand for blockchain interior space, coupled with higher fees for miners, is proactive in the continued cyber security of bitcoin.
