User Engagement at a Record High

$DOT’s upward momentum this week appeared to be spurred by high user engagement and activity on Polkadot, with active address hutting an all-time high for a second consecutive month. By the end of April, the network recorded 650,000 active addresses, significantly higher than in March.

The rise in active addresses is attributed to Polkadot’s parachain, Moonbeam. 

Polkadot’s good week has further driven an announcement by the Founder Institute. The Founder Institute announced it entered a strategic partnership with Polkadot to lead the first Web3 cohort within its Core Program.
