Since most of the tx data I got from the API does not have specified origin, it’s hard to tell where the majority of those tx are initiated from. However, for other specified origin there are some that do use their own specific dapp url which suggest that they are using the dapp’s UI. For instance:
suggest that they were initiated via Zerion and Uniswap’s dapp interface respectively. However, if we break it down into each individual dapps - The total tx is still relatively small
@v3naru, Is it possible the origin of the transactions are not discernible if most of these transactions are being initiated on-chain by other smart contracts, and not initiated by other user facing frontend apps?
Yes, I think that could be the case as well, but since origin field is optional, which means that we are assuming that transaction creators are inputting the data truthfully.
I would consider it an invalidation for the concept of sorts, or at least, until there is a materially change in user demographics (towards more retail). We’re working on a new idea that relies less heavily on the UI/UX. In the meantime, would love to keep hearing these great ideas as they provide a lot of inspiration.
