The Polkadot blockchain has reached a new all-time high in active addresses on its network.
Polkadot amassed over 600,000 active addresses on-chain by the end of March, according to data by DotLake, shared in an April 7 X post<a href="https://twitter.com/Polkadot/status/1776884484790444267/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"></a> by Polkadot.

Over 41%, or 248,000 of the 605,000 addresses, are attributed to the cross-chain smart contract platform Moonbeam, while 191,000 addresses were created directly on Polkadot, <a href="https://dashboards.data.paritytech.io/parachains.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to DotLake data.
The number of unique accounts with non-zero balances is also on the rise, surpassing 5.59 million accounts at the end of March, up from 5.53 million at the end of February.

Polkadot’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/polkadot-price-index">DOT</a>) token fell 3.3% in the 24 hours leading up to 12:38 pm UTC to trade at $8.95 as the 14th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. DOT is currently down 83% from its all-time high of $55 reached in November 2021, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polkadot-new/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to CoinMarketCap data.

In an effort to capitalize on the current memecoin frenzy and bring more participants to the blockchain, the Polkadot community spun up its own memecoin, DOT is $DED (DED), which started trending on X on March 23. Investors holding Polkadot were eligible for 36 DED tokens for every 1 DOT held.
Retail sentiment turned sour after the team reduced the initial airdrop allocation from 100% of the token supply to just 5% to create a longer financial runway for the memecoin, <a href="https://twitter.com/giottodf/status/1771763441440624973" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">explained</a> one of its pseudonymous developers, Giotto De Filippi, during a March 24 X Spaces.
DED is currently worth a little over $0.001, with seemingly little interest following the airdrop distribution. The DOT/DED trading pair only amassed $20,536 in 24-hour trading volume, <a href="https://app.hydradx.io/liquidity/isolated?id=1000024" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to the liquidity pool on Hydradx.
