*   **Total amount of active users**
*   **Amount of Staked tokens** to Nomination pools and Validators

Apart from developing the open-source Nova Wallet [iOS](https://github.com/nova-wallet/nova-ios-app) & [Android](https://github.com/nova-wallet/nova-android-app) mobile applications, our team is **consistently contributing to the Polkadot ecosystem** by providing open-source SDKs, design assets, knowledge-sharing sessions, and infrastructure. Examples include:
