Captain

While the crypto world fixates on the latest ETH L2 drama, something massive is happening on #BNBChain that nobody's talking about. We just analyzed few metrics across the entire ecosystem, and the results are absolutely shocking.
This isn't speculation. This is raw data. Let's dive in. 👇
TOP 10 DAPPS BY ACTIVE USERS (7 DAYS)

🥇 The Landlord (Games)→ 1.02M users | +6.79% ↗️
🥈 SERAPH In The Darkness (Games)→ 868.89K users | -20.87% ↘️
🥉 PancakeSwap (DeFi)→ 742.92K users | +1.90% ↗️

📊 KEY INSIGHT: Gaming = 4 spots | AI = 3 spots | DeFi = 1 spot
The new BNB Chain is powered by gaming and AI, not just DeFi anymore.

TOP 10 PROTOCOLS BY TVL (TOTAL VALUE LOCKED)

BNB Chain's DeFi ecosystem is absolutely thriving with over $11B in combined TVL across these top protocols. Liquid staking and DEX platforms are leading the charge, while institutional players like BlackRock and Circle show strong traditional finance integration.
Now let's follow the real money. Where is serious capital actually sitting on @BNBCHAIN ?

🥇 Lista Liquid Staking→ $2.40B TVL
🥈 PancakeSwap AMM→ $2.35B TVL
🥉 Venus Core Pool→ $1.58B TVL

💰 TOTAL TOP 10 TVL: $11.14 BILLION
📊 KEY INSIGHT: Institutional capital (BlackRock, Circle) + DeFi natives (Aave, PancakeSwap) = BNB Chain is the bridge between TradFi and DeFi
This is where things get REALLY interesting. The TVL story tells us where sophisticated capital is flowing, and it's painting a very different picture than the user metrics.
