Waves 🌊 (@wavesprotocol) — Twitter Score 92 out of 1000

Waves is a Layer-1 blockchain platform built for decentralized applications, smart contracts, DeFi, DAOs, NFTs, and token issuance, founded by Alexander Ivanov. Waves's Twitter Score is 92 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of July 2026, ranking #9,181 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.

Waves was founded by Alexander Ivanov and launched in June 2016 following one of the earliest ICOs in the cryptocurrency industry, raising 30,000 BTC. The protocol uses a modified proof-of-stake consensus mechanism called WavesNG, derived from the Bitcoin-NG design. In June 2018, the Waves DEX and main site were targeted in a phishing attack, though the platform's decentralized structure prevented any asset withdrawals. The ecosystem later faced stress in January 2023, when ForkLog reported that Waves ecosystem clients encountered serious withdrawal issues with USDC and USDT, and the USDN stablecoin lost its dollar peg.

Waves is affiliated with WX Network, Neutrino Index, and Waves Enterprise, extending its reach across trading infrastructure, algorithmic stablecoins, and enterprise blockchain solutions. Waves has published 9,507 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 309 accounts, with 1,009 total mentions.
