The Q3 2025 market statistics report provided the most comprehensive quantitative snapshot of the platform's growth trajectory since launch. The metrics reflected a maturing platform with improving operational efficiency across multiple dimensions — a pattern consistent with platforms that have successfully survived the high-risk early months of operation.
Vendor count increased 31% from Q2 to Q3, driven primarily by the improved onboarding process introduced in August. The verification system's reduced friction for legitimate vendors — while maintaining rigorous fraud barriers — appears to have successfully expanded the supply side while maintaining quality standards measurable through feedback ratings.
