This week I would like to start by recognizing the hardworking teams who are translating these reports into other languages.

Observation from this week
This section will highlight any observations made while analysing the data.
This weekend, 5th-6th May 2018 the Global Graphene Blockchain Developers Conference will kick off in the Shanghai Himalayas Daguan Theatre in Shanghai, China. This milestone event will host over 35 speakers from a wide range of projects with Graphene as the common focus from all attendees. No doubt this will be a great networking event and if the China Dev con (Jan 2018) is anything to go by a huge success. Tickets to this event are VERY reasonably priced so if you are able to attend I think you will get great value from this event. Find more information HERE
This week Bitshares recorded a new 24h transaction record as reported by Blocktivity.info. Bitshares hit a record of 1,513,308 Transaction over a 24 hour period which works out to an average of 17.5 TPS. Bitshares currently holds the 2nd position for the largest amount of transactions in a 24 hour period, behind Steem which is holding the pole position with 2,068,341 TXs in 24 hours. With the rapid increase in trading platforms, wallets, trading/liquidity bots and this week a brand new game utilizing the Bitshares blockchain, Bitshares has the first place position in its sights. Either way it is great to see these Graphene based chain illustrating the power of DPOS.
