Cronos (CRO)

LEADING Cronos DEX ended 2026 Q2 with LOWEST trading volume ever and first month of Q3 so far holds the same trajectory

Plus, based on data from Cronos Trading Overview on Dune (https://t.co/ZvEG6o9HTn), the 30d numbers for community-led trading venues are clear as well:

@wolfswapdotapp $570k, @ObsidianSwap $300k, @crotrade $120k

That is $33,000 per day on average TOTAL across all 3 in the past month. Let me say it again:

$33,000 PER DAY on AVERAGE

And you know what's even crazier? The leading, chain-owned DEX daily volume ranges between $200k-$500k for the past 30 days

The community-built trading platforms were never the dominant compared to @VVS_finance which holds majority dominance, but this is truly one of the lowest-activity periods on Cronos...

I would love to stay optimistic, but this is simply no bueno (lord have mercy for builders)

Letter to the @LoadedLions_CDC!

I think @LoadedLions_CDC and @ManeCityGame should start focusing on the community again. We were and still are its strongest part.

Socials:
While Manecity improved slightly with the last expedition update, it is still far from its potential. The mobile version only managed to gather around 3,000 players, of which 2,000 were probably already existing ones. As painful as it is to admit, I don't think they have achieved what they thought they would.

The game is still not fun enough to rely solely on gameplay to attract players. There is zero in-game communication and social interaction, which most games leverage. Just look at @OthersideMeta. There isn’t much to do in-game, probably even less than Manecity, yet the bubbles single-handedly brought activity back to the game.

Gamers want to interact. And no, a Discord server is not the same; far from it.

It doesn't help that the massive layoffs @cryptocom recently introduced affected the team and they lost valuable members. Upd
