Ethereum mainnet transactions surge but not real users
Ethereum\'s main network has recently recorded record-high activity, but an analysis said serious security problems lie behind the numbers rather than an expanding user base. Daily active addresses hit 1.2 million as of Jan. 16 and transactions reached about 2.8 million. An independent crypto journalist said automated spam contracts inflated activity by distributing sub-$1 stablecoins to millions of addresses, with losses estimated at about $740,000.
