What's Going On With Gnosis?

MethodâĄ
In this analysis, i analyzed multiple metrics of Gnosis ==since the beginning of Ocotber== and noticed some unusual activity on
==Oct 5th== and went deep in it that you will see. At first i analyzed some overall and daily metrics such as daily transactions, users, fees and some more and then i went through Gnosis Stablecoin (==xDAI==) and analyzed some information from it. At the end i put some deeper analytics to understand the recent Gnosis activity better. I mainly used ==Gnosis.core== database provided by Flipsidecrypto and used multiple tables from it. i got helped from ==âgnosis.core.fact_transactionsâ== ,==âgnosis.core.fact_event_logsâ== , ==âgnosis.core.fact_token_transfersâ== , ==âgnosis.core.ez_xdai_transfersâ== and ==âgnosis.core.dim_labelsâ==
tables. I used multiple charts to make the data more understandable as much as i could. Also i considered only Successfull transactions with tx_status = âSUCCESSâ
.
I analyzed all the stats since the beginning of October 2022. ==â2022-10-01â==

More Info
As we see in the above charts, that âunusual activityâ that i talked about happened on Oct 5th and caused a huge spike on number of transactions and users. It seems in that day, almost 55K new users joined gnosis and transacted 108.4K transactions. We also see in the gas used chart that the average gas used had a massive drop on Oct 5th and looks like the gas that using for running transactions was much lower than the other days. After Oct 5th, Gnosis transactions and users got back to its normal routine and by that information it seems like it was an Ddos attack or something related to the servers. In the last bar chart at the bottom we see daily new and active users and it seems over 55K users joined to Gnosis on Oct 5th and recorded a total of 57.3K total users on that day (almost 55K more users than Oct 4th).
A total of 67,541 new users joined to Gnosis in past 16 days since the beginning of October and 55.4K of them joined on Oct 5th.
The stablecoin used on the Gnosis chain is xDAI. xDAI is pegged to DAI and DAI pegged to USD. The only difference between xDAI and DAI is that xDAI is on the Gnosis chain whereas DAI is on the Ethereum chain. On other days except Oct 5th, other tokens transferred more than xDAI but on Oct 5th, xDAI transferred 50K more than other tokens. In overall other tokens transferred more than xDAI in Gnosis on October so far. As we see it seems that 56.149K tokens from all the tokens that transferred on Oct 5th were xDAI.
In the left bar chart i analyzed hourly transactions divided by wallets that did them on Gnosis and as we see 1 address did unusual activity: ==â0x37efe9b31830653039edc3b212a6e1b882cd46b4â== between 00:07 AM until 00:10 Am (3 Hours) received almost 55K transactions and as we saw earlier, almost 55K tokens transferred on Oct 5th and most of them were xDAI, it seems that number of transactions was equal to tokens. Gnosis had the highest number of transactions on Oct 4th and most of them were Transfer, Mint and TokenBridged. From Oct 4th until Oct 8th, number of wallets that were executing transactions recorded a huge spike.
