It is not a rally in price that first demands attention—it is the sudden reappearance of wallets that were not there before. For Render, that is exactly what happened in late May. According to the Santiment update, the network’s daily active addresses climbed to 394 in a single day while 118 new wallets were created—both the highest readings in 12 weeks.
