Unique addresses does not mean users. Addresses are trivial to “farm” with a simple script. In most cases, obscure blockchains will simulate their users by running scripts that spoof activity in order to appease VCs, attract speculators, and beat competing chains. https://beincrypto.com/sui-network-faking-on-chain-activity/ https://thedefiant.io/news/blockchains/polkadot-processes-3-8-million-transactions-on-july-30-after-mythos-migration

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1843101766327627875

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
