In 2025, daily activity in the Web3 sector remains stable, although there is a shift in the composition of participants and resource usage.
Altcoins and Their Role in Web3
Altcoins represent specific sectors of activity within Web3, going beyond speculative investments. Their status and potential are best assessed through gas usage, transaction counts, and unique active wallets. According to DappRadar's report, the total number of active wallets stands at approximately 24 million daily.
Growing Popularity of Social and AI DApps
The latest report from DappRadar shows a rise in popularity in the social and AI DApps sector. Leading social DApps, such as Farcaster, attract about 40,000 daily unique active wallets, while AI projects like the Virtuals Protocol are showing growth with 1,900 unique active wallets weekly.
Dynamics of DeFi and Ethereum Gas
While DeFi generates over 240 million transactions weekly, it is experiencing a decline in users. However, Ethereum faces a situation where DeFi accounts for only 11% of total gas usage on the network. New categories such as Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization and DePIN now account for over 58% of total gas usage, indicating a shift in focus within Web3.
The Web3 industry continues to evolve with a changing landscape and a focus on new sectors. While DeFi still has significant transaction activity, emerging directions such as RWA and AI are affecting the overall perception and development of the market.
