The second largest burn was 30.8 ETH, equating to about $76,800, via MetaMask. Ethereum-based applications’ wallet app is still an important entry point for Ethereum swaps and other in-app decentralized finance (DeFi) features that generate a large amount of network usage.

Gnosis burned 21.4 $ETH ($53,400), and 1inch followed closely with 19.0 $ETH ($47,400). 1inch provides routing services that gather liquidity across different DEXs, and Gnosis is the underlying on-chain governance and multi-signature wallet infrastructure. Each of the two platforms makes significant contributions to Ethereum’s transactional volume.

Aave burned 9.5 $ETH (around $23,700) in the ranking. Aave is one of the largest lending protocols, and loan issuance and repayments keep on-chain activity steady. After it, Pendle, a DeFi protocol letting traders trade yield on tokens, tipped over with 7.1 $ETH burned, paying out $17,700 in fees.

Smaller Platforms Try to Maintain Fee Affects.

Other projects in the top ten were Kyber Network, Tokenlon, ParaSwap, and Tornado Cash. Kyber Network burned 3.0 $ETH (7,500 dollars) while Tokenlon burned 4.7 $ETH (11,700 dollars). Tornado Cash and ParaSwap each burn under 3 $ETH, but both are regular burners of block space.

$ETH burned over the tracked period totaled 1,614 ETH or $4.03 million. As reflected in these figures, activity throughout DeFi protocols has held steady at high levels, affirming Ethereum’s position as the top smart contract blockchain by utility on the network.
