Recently, it seems that Ethereum network activity has been incredible. I came across a story that it processed 200 million transactions just in the first quarter, and apparently, this is the highest number ever.
The fact that so many transactions are being processed means the network is really becoming active. It could be due to an increase in DeFi and NFT-related transactions, or simply more users joining.
There has been ongoing discussion about Ethereum's scalability for a long time, but seeing these numbers makes me feel that the network is truly growing. I wonder if the transaction volume will continue to increase at this pace or stabilize, so I might keep an eye on it.
