A spokesperson for streamr commented on the findings:
“While it may come as no surprise that Bitcoin came out on top, it is good to see that there is a wide variety of projects that are getting lots of buzz.”
“From Web3 projects in a similar vein to Streamr; like Aptos, to meme coins like RichQUACK, and remittance networks like Ripple, all of these projects have had a significant number of tweets which shows that despite the current bear market, blockchain projects and their communities are still alive and well.”
