Sunday (April 05) landed as a slightly busier weekend day: transactions ticked up, TPS recovered versus Saturday, and the network stayed stable under a cautious broader market backdrop. Usage remained concentrated in a small set of active DeFi apps, with a couple of very bursty contract-driven moments late in the UTC day.
The Week So Far
The last couple of weeks have been steady in the mid-20s TPS range, with the usual weekend dip still present—but less pronounced this weekend. April 05 averaged 25.2 TPS, and week-over-week the network is modestly higher (this week’s average 25.2 TPS vs last week’s 24.2 TPS, +4.5%). The busiest day in the 14-day window remains March 31 at 26.2 avg TPS, while March 22 was the quietest at 23.4.
On the “real usage” side, daily totals have been hovering around ~2M transactions for most of the past few weeks. April 05 printed 2.19M transactions, continuing the recent range (2.03M–2.26M across Mar 28–Apr 05). Unique wallets have also been comparatively stable in the low thousands (generally ~3–4K), with April 05 at 3.9K—consistent with the current baseline, and far below the early-March outliers.
Reliability has been broadly clean at the network level: failure rate on April 05 was 0.3%, following several days under 1% (with occasional spikes like 2.5% on April 01). For a quick scan of what’s driving activity at any moment, the Dashboard and Network Heatmap are still the fastest way to spot sudden concentration.
The Day
Sunday’s hourly rhythm was mostly flat-to-gently rising: a softer patch around 03:00–04:00 UTC (~23.8–23.9 TPS), a clear afternoon lift (28.4 TPS at 15:00), and a stronger close (28.7 TPS at 22:00). Daily averages stayed well-behaved—but sub-hour bursts showed up later (more on that below).
On apps, the day was straightforward: DeFi dominated, gaming was present but thin, and most activity concentrated into two leaders.
- Kumbaya topped the day with 12.3K txs, 3,613 Mgas, and 1,375 unique callers. It also logged a +133% volume move versus the previous 24h comparison window (2,078 vs 890 txs in the insight feed), consistent with a genuine pickup in interaction rather than a single-wallet burst.
- Avon followed with 8.2K txs, 2,745 Mgas, and 1,216 unique callers, and likewise showed +127% volume growth versus the prior 24h window (8,215 vs 3,626 txs). In a steadier TVL environment day-to-day, this kind of lending-side throughput often reads as routine position management and rebalancing rather than a one-off event.
Below the top two, the shape shifts: several apps posted meaningful transaction counts but with very small unique-caller sets—patterns that often line up with automation, repetitive game loops, or a small number of power users.
- Crossy Fluffle: 2.0K txs from 12 callers.
- Canonic: 1.2K txs from 7 callers.
- GMX: only 174 txs, but a chunky 497 Mgas—high gas per transaction relative to most entries on the list.
One smaller but notable mover: Intraverse rose to 200 txs (+150% vs the prior 24h window in the insight feed). The absolute level is still small, but it’s the kind of uptick worth keeping on a watchlist if it persists.
Two contract-specific bursts stood out as “network performance” anomalies without moving the daily baseline much:
- TPS briefly hit 173.0 TPS around 23:15 UTC, with the top contributor flagged as 0x681e908b8ab57c49c74d770f369754ccc3e1ae09 (2,043 tx in that window).
- Gas per second peaked at 359.2 Mgas/s around 21:59 UTC, driven primarily by 0x4e59b44847b379578588920ca78fbf26c0b4956c (401.8 Mgas in that window).
For deeper context on these “outlier moments,” the Insights feed is the most direct jumping-off point.
Health Check
At the network level, April 05 looked healthy: 0.3% failed transactions (6.4K failed out of 2.19M). Nothing in the daily aggregates suggests systemic instability.
The one meaningful reliability story was localized: World Markets - Exchange saw a failure spike to 31.2% around 01:00 UTC (2,164 of 6,934 failed). Later, the same contract saw an activity spike of 11,886 tx/h around 22:00 UTC. Both are worth checking in tandem on the contract page: World Markets - Exchange. Given the timing and magnitude, bot contention, race conditions, or deliberate throttling mechanics are plausible explanations—this is a network observation, not a quality verdict.
Two additional “busy-hour” contract spikes were detected (activity, not necessarily errors):
- 0x0e12e3d1903237332437c79429591874f99585f4: 898 tx/h around 06:00 UTC
- 0x95b4cc4f41d9c9176d731594a3c79bd99c9b9cd4: 864 tx/h around 14:00 UTC
The Takeaway
April 05 was a stable, slightly busier Sunday: 25.2 TPS on average with 2.19M transactions, driven primarily by Kumbaya and Avon. The only real “spikiness” came from short, contract-driven bursts (notably the 173.0 TPS moment) and a localized failure spike on World Markets - Exchange—worth monitoring, but not reflected in network-level health.
On the Road to TGE, there was no fee-criteria breakthrough: zero apps cleared the $50K/day mark, and total fees across all apps were $14K. Kumbaya’s activity increase is directionally helpful for sustained engagement, but the program’s headline milestones remain unchanged; see the latest status at https://www.megaeth.com/token.
