1. Nomad Hack Incident Response
On August 1st, the Nomad bridge was exploited and over $190M in various assets were withdrawn to the Ethereum network. These assets included 113.55M (11.3%) of the total Covalent Network ($CQT) supply on the Ethereum network contributed from 255 unique wallet addresses. Despite the CQT setback, we’ve been open and transparent with the community and everything we're doing moving forward, which you can read about in The Nomad Hack Incident: Covalent's Response
2. Covalent Traction
Two years ago, Ethereum was the undisputed dominant player in the space. This quarter, using Covalent data, we're seeing blockchain traction move from single-player mode to multi-player, as the new Alt 1 blockchains are facing off as contenders to the L1 blockchains.
2a. Covalent's March to be the #1 Blockchain Indexer
Continuing on our relentless march of indexing the world’s blockchain information, Covalent announced its integration of Godwoken on the Nervos Network on August 10th, bringing our total to 42 blockchains (the biggest in the industry).
Also this summer, Covalent indexed the most amount of blockchains in one quarter since its inception. The Aurora, Evmos, Astar, and Cronos chains have all been successfully integrated.
