The fifth was July 18, 2024, which was the last day the network hit a million addresses.

Rolly went live on Arbitrum with a $70,000 race on Oct. 28

The launch of Rolly, a no-KYC crypto casino, on Arbitrum was on Oct. 28. It said it had added $10 million to a public bankroll and started its first season with a “$70,000 race.”

The same day, Arbitrum’s account welcomed it.

There is no public link between the number of addresses and Rolly. And Arbitrum has gone up and down earlier this month. On Oct. 23, it had 563,669 active addresses, but by Oct. 25, it had dropped to 97,267.

It logged just 95,545 on Sept. 26.

Growthepie keeps track of unique sending addresses every day, but not of recipients. Also, one person can have more than one wallet.

Growthepie said that sybil behavior, in which fake wallets pretend to be active during incentive campaigns or airdrops, can make the count go up. It suggests the number should be read along with chain revenue or total value secured.

The ARB token hasn’t kept up with what’s going on. It fell about 24% in 30 days and hit a four-week low of $0.1638 on Oct. 24, according to Cryptopolitan.

ARB was trading at ~$0.168 at 11:10 UTC on Oct. 29, according to CoinGecko, down ~19% over 30 days.

In mid-September, tokenized assets on Arbitrum topped $800 million in assets under management, with the token soaring above $0.20 for the first time since January.
