So, according to Etherscan, on August 14, the network recorded a new record number of transactions - 410,061.

Commented on a new record and Vitalik Buterin, the creator of crypto currency. He suggested that this is the highest number of transactions ever recorded in public lockups. But on this account there are doubts. For example, in the network Steem over the past 24 hours, there were 599,909 transactions.

However, the new record of the Ethereum network is noteworthy in itself and demonstrates the growing popularity of the platform on which more and more diverse applications are built.

In addition, when carrying out frequent ICO, tokens of the ERC20 standard, created on the basis of Ethereum.

Nevertheless, despite the increased activity in the network, the price of Ethereum is below $ 300. According to Coinmarketcap, at the time of publication, it was $ 292. Ethereum's market capitalization is estimated at $ 27.5 billion - about 20% of the total capitalization of all kriptovat.
