EVM vs SVM vs Near VM in 2024 (USDC)
Jul 15, 2024 - I have started writing more complex SQL queries and wanted to expand my queries beyond the EVM. This dashboard compares three virtual machines (VMs) and tracks their usage of the USDC token. USDC is native to all of these blockchains, which I felt was important as blockchains that do not have USDC support usually only have bridged USDC or a different stablecoin that has filled the need. This dashboard aims to look into where USDC transfers have been happening since the start of the year. Below you will find three groups of graphs the first for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), the second for the Solana (SVM)(This is broken into many charts, due to runtime maxes) , and the third for the NEAR VM. Metrics tracked are number of unique addresses that transferred USDC (sent or received) in a month and the total of transfers for USDC for the month. The unique addresses in the case of the EVM are per blockchain. Additionally, the dates for this comparison currently are from January 1st, 2024 to August 31th, 2024.
