When reached by CoinDesk, Magic Eden provided data showing 330,000 true sales (not also bids and listings like the DappRadar data) had occurred over the last week, which works out to about 47,000 daily transactions.
Usage stats over a 30-day period tell a similar story, though OpenSea’s total volume of traders is down 1% from the previous month while Magic Eden’s has increased 316%.
On-chain data of this nature can also be misleading, with metrics like transactions and sales volume being subject to varying definitions and even manipulation.
All in all, the NFT market is seeing a shift away from its formerly Ethereum-dominated ways, with traders more evenly spread between alt-chain marketplaces and the average number of user transactions increasing with fewer fees.
