The Algorand Foundation recently published its monthly Algo Insights Report, reporting that in September the platform experienced a substantial growth in user activity (as measured by Daily Active Users, or DAU). The launch of Algorand Coinbase Learning Rewards in mid-September proved to be a major catalyst for this growth, driving DAUs to a peak of approximately 180,000 users and pushing Monthly Active Users (MAUs) up nearly 34% from August.

Daily Active Users (DAU)
Background: In September, Algorand experienced a surge in Monthly Active Users, up nearly 34%, hitting a yearly high of 1,342,596. Daily Active Users also peaked at approximately 180,000 throughout the month. This represented a significant increase from the pre-September levels of around 50,000 DAUs and 1,300,000 MAUs. Two factors have impacted the increase in daily and monthly users.
- Launch of Coinbase Quests: The launch of Coinbase Quests with Algorand this month drove the spike in DAU. These quests provided Coinbase users with an opportunity to engage with Algorand’s platform and ecosystem.
- Increased exposure to Algorand’s dApps: As part of the Coinbase Quests, users could explore and interact with various dApps built on Algorand. This exposure likely contributed to the sustained increase in DAUs and MAUs, as different users discovered the potential of Algorand’s ecosystem.
The bigger picture: The sustained growth in MAU throughout the year, coupled with the significant spike in DAU during September, suggests that Algorand is providing real value to users.
