Therefore, the number of access tokens created mirrors the network activity happening on this or that blockchain. Once the interest in building on a given blockchain network surges, developers are forced to create a larger number of tokens to access it.

That’s why this metric is insightful when it comes to calculating real popularity of this or that blockchain.

GetBlock CEO Arseniy Voitenko attributes this popularity to the organic upsurge of interest in building on Tron:

GetBlock was among the first Web3 infrastructure providers that started supporting private RPC APIs for Tron. As such, we established ourselves as a reliable vendor of fast and cost-efficient infrastructure for Tron dApps. We’re excited to welcome all Tron-centric developers and are amazed by current metrics demonstrated by the blockchain

Research by GetBlock covers shared nodes, i.e. entry-level service of GetBlock. This is the easiest way to deploy a crypto application or token to one of 50+ networks supported by the service.
