"Within four days of launch, the protocol reportedly consumed enough Ethereum gas to briefly top the chain's gas usage rankings by fees over a 24-hour period, according to DeFiLlama. At the height of the early activity—July 25—FWAs generated about $1.53 million in daily fees, briefly overtaking major stablecoin issuers' associated onchain activity."
"If users continue spinning even after incentives taper off, that would indicate the system has found something closer to a retail use case. If FWAs demonstrate sustained retention, they could strengthen the case that gamified retail primitives can coexist with token liquidity models."
