🟡 BNB DeFi Season arrived: Dapps volume up 400%

Activity on BNB Chain has increased significantly, and dapps volume shot up this week. In the beginning of September, BNB Chain saw $5 billion flowing into its dapps on a daily basis. This week we measured over $27 billion in one single day.

It's all about memecoins right now. DeFi hubs like PancakeSwap and Venus Protocol added millions to their TVL in the past week. PancakeSwap saw its volume increase by 47% to $45 billion. Key to this growth is the success of Four.meme, a launchpad for memecoins built on BNB Chain.

Four.meme increased its user base by 314% to more than 232,000 wallets. With on average 10 transactions per wallet, Four.meme attracted $164 million in volume in the past week. Memecoins successfully launched on Four.meme, automatically get deployed on PancakeSwap... which explains their sudden activity spike.
