The existence of RSR on the top positions indicates continuous ecosystem development/support from the community. The two others that stand out prominently are MANTRA ($OM) and Plume Network ($PLUME), bearing respective FDVs of $752 million and $2 billion, marking their place within the mid-to-high-ranked RWA ventures.
