EDU Chain’s TVL includes a portion of the Open Campus treasury and assets that have been bridged to EDU Chain by liquidity providers (LPs) contributing to EDU Chain.After a successful testnet campaign with over 86.2 million transactions and 358,684 unique active wallets interacting with the EDU Chain testnet, the 47 dApps already on EDU Chain testnet will begin deploying their dApps to the EDU Chain mainnet.
