    The 3 graphs below show the transactions, price and tokens respectively in terms of the 3 series of Art Blocks (Curated vs. Playground vs. Factory).

    In terms of total transactions volume, we can see that the Factory series is standing at the top spot, followed by the Curated series and then the playground series.

    In contrast, for the average price, we may observe that the Series are going towards an opposite direction as compared to the total transactions. The Curated series has recorded the highest average price, Playground is gaining the second spot and the Factory comes as the last.

    The tokens volumes are having the direct proportionate relationship with the total transactions per series. Factory, who is recording the highest number of transactions is also having the highest number of tokens, followed by curated and then playground.

    The trend shown above is in line with our understanding as the Factory series which have been opened by Art Blocks to the artists to publish their projects without the need to wait for the approval is recording the highest number of transactions and tokens. In contrast, the Curated series which have gone through the stringent process for the art works to be vetted by the Art Blocks is recording the highest average price as the art works which are published in the Curated series represents the best of the vision of the Art Blocks platform. As for the Playground series, the lowest number of transactions and tokens can be explained by the limitations of the Playground whereby each artist is only allowed to launch an active project in the Playground at once and it needs to be completed before they can launch the next project on the Playground.
