Crypto research firm Messari revealed why the crypto community should acknowledge the open-source blockchain platform Tezos amid the bear market.

In a Twitter thread, Nick Garcia, a Messari analyst cited several factors on why Tezos, a smart contract platform provider that can execute peer-to-peer transactions, is on top of other open-source blockchain platforms during the year.

According to the report, the firm’s metrics, which show last year’s Q4 to this year’s Q3 key performance, have been in a downward trend but several key factors showed improvement, attaining new records.

During the bear market, Tezos has run into difficulties, such as a decrease in accounts and nationwide activity due to the declining DeFi and NFT sectors. Yet, looking at a zoomed-out perspective, the data revealed that Tezos’ network activity has been steady since January 2021. Tezos devs also set a new ATH of 29,000 smart contract deployments in Q3.

Meanwhile, the data shows that the NFT (in XTZ terms) has reached a new all-time–high of 11.165 million sales volume during Q3 2022. Although the platform’s revenue dropped compared to the previous quarter, the sales volume (XTZ) increased for 6th consecutive quarter.
