Polygon's Weekly Growth Falls to Fifth as Base Takes Lead

Polygon has maintained its position as a significant player in the blockchain space, ranking fifth among weekly blockchain growers on Alchemy, according to the latest figures. This follows an earlier daily ranking where Polygon held second place with a 7.5% increase.

The latest rankings show that Base now leads the weekly growth rankings, while BNB Chain holds first place for daily growth. Polygon's weekly gain reached 50 billion units, compared to Arbitrum's increase of 58 billion.

Over the past week, Base led with 426 billion additional usage units and a growth rate of 24%. BNB Chain followed closely behind with an increase of 87 billion units, up 4.4%. Optimism ranked third after adding 79 billion units, representing a 21% rise.

When comparing the size of increases across networks with different starting levels of activity, Polygon's fifth-place position is notable. The platform added 50 billion usage units over the week, but its percentage increase was lower than some other networks.
