According to DappRadar data, the NFT ecosystem of Ethereum's Layer 2 network, Base, became the focus in September, ranking first in sales among all series.
NFTs on Base occupied five of the top ten sales positions in September, with DX Terminal and BasePaint ranking first and second, respectively. This performance indicates that Base is rapidly emerging as a center for experimental NFT projects, gradually entering a space long dominated by Ethereum and Polygon.
Despite the surge in Base NFT sales, DappRadar data shows that trading volume is still primarily concentrated in Polygon and Ethereum series. Courtyard on Polygon ranked first with a trading volume of $43.9 million, followed by Moonbirds and CryptoPunks on Ethereum with $34 million and $25.8 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, DX Terminal on Base ranked fourth with a trading volume of $25.5 million, an increase of nearly 1,700% compared to the previous month, according to DappRadar.
DX Terminal is a key project driving Base's rise in the NFT rankings, recording 1.27 million sales in September, an increase of over 1,000% from the previous month. During September, more than 200,000 traders participated in NFT transactions.
The project adopts a gaming model, where NFTs act as AI-driven trading agents in a retro-futuristic market simulation. Each NFT represents an independent character with unique traits and behaviors. Characters compete for in-game wealth and status by responding to player commands and interacting with competing companies and non-player characters.
Unlike the play-to-earn mechanism offered by traditional NFT games, DX Terminal does not provide direct token rewards or any real-world benefits. Although there are tokens within the game, these tokens are not tied to real-world monetary value.
According to DX Terminal in May this year, the in-game token WEBCOIN is managed off-chain and is for internal use only.
The DX Terminal team emphasizes that the in-game currency has no real-world value, and any external claims of associated tokens are unofficial.
Among the top ten NFTs by trading volume, only DX Terminal and Immutable's Guild of Guardians Heroes (related to role-playing games) saw growth in September.
DappRadar data shows that trading volumes for blue-chip NFT series such as CryptoPunks, Pudgy Penguins, and Bored Ape Yacht Club have dropped by about 50% to 60% over the past month.
Even the top two trading volume NFTs this month, Courtyard and Moonbirds, experienced declines of approximately 25% and 13.6%, respectively.
