This issue of Blockpour On-Chain This Week takes a look at the latest memecoin trends, Fantom's network activity, Worldcoin's iris-scanning initiative, network volatility, and CEX token flows.
On-chain activity was largely dominated by animal racing tokens on Ethereum since last weekend. We all know that people will go where the liquidity is on-chain, but these trends remain an entertaining phenomenon. Fantom network activity has returned to its pre-hack levels, and Worldcoin made a splash. Get all that plus centralized exchange ERC-20 token flows in Blockpour On-Chain This Week!
Off to the Races with Ethereum Animal Coins
Bored and volatility-starved crypto traders entertained themselves over the weekend with a new brand of token: the animal race token. Several such tokens popped up over the weekend to promote actual races with their namesake animals. $HAMS, $ROACH, $CHICKENS, and $ROCKS, a rock race token, led the pack. $HAMS saw a 3,250% price increase to $2.67 last weekend, but fell to $0.24 by the end of the week.

Fantom Proves that No News Is Good News
Metrics on the beleaguered Fantom network have returned back to the mean despite the calamitous Multichain bridge hack early this month. In the weeks leading up to the incident in which Fantom’s main token bridge was exploited for nearly all of its collateral (and subsequently shut down entirely), daily trading volume on the network generally ranged between $3M and $10M. Between 7/6 and 7/17, volume ranged much higher, peaking at $82.1M as users attempted to flee the network. Volumes regressed back to the pre-hack mean at the end of this month.

A Story of Iris-Scanning Orbs
The Worldcoin digital ID (DID) platform officially launched on Monday by issuing $WLD tokens to anyone around the world who allowed their iris to be scanned by the company’s mechanical iris-scanning orb. The project will use the tokens as a payment method for its digital passports as part of its proof-of-personhood efforts. $WLD launched at about $3, but prices have stabilized to about $2. Traders seem to like the coin since buy volume comprises 53% of trades with a $230M market cap.

Some Volatility in Market Metrics
Our Network Pulse tool shows that this week has seen some elevated volatility on the 9 networks Blockpour tracks, on total trade volume and average trade size in USD. Trade volume wobbled between just above and just below $1B per day, while average trade size oscillated from about $5K to $6K per day. Conversely, the number of unique traders and unique liquidity pools with trades was relatively flat at about 300K per day and 26K per day respectively.
