As it’s, the migration of Pegaxy to Avalanche has been acquired positively and will reinforce their means to offer a extremely scalable surroundings whereas sustaining excessive reliability. Nonetheless, some have expressed issues that the “infantile” assertion from Gün Sirer may injury Avalanche’s popularity and alienate customers preferring to assist extra decentralized networks.
How the group will reply to Pegaxy migrating and launching on its Avalanche subnet will not be instantly clear. Nonetheless, thus far, exercise appears to be rising. Based on DappRadar knowledge, on December 12, the sport had, on common, 837 lively wallets within the final month, a 40% increment.
