Despite these factors, overall activity on the Avalanche network dwindled. AMBCrypto’s analysis of Artemis’ data showed that the Daily Active Addresses dropped from 87,000 to 44,000 across the month of January.
Coupled with that, the number of transactions on the network fell from 2.97 million to 208,000 during this period as well.
This drastic decline in activity pointed to the fact that the protocol still had a lot of room for growth. If things continue in this fashion, there could be a severe impact on the state of the AVAX token.
