XRP Ledger

# XRP Ledger Active users (monthly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

user_mau measures the number of unique addresses that execute transactions on the XRP Ledger within a 30-day rolling window. The metric tracks two distinct user types: transaction senders across all transaction types, and DEX traders who specifically interact with the XRP Ledger's decentralized exchange infrastructure. For DEX traders, users are further segmented by product: XRPL CLOB (the central limit order book) and XRPL AMM (automated market maker pools).

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain transactions**: Transaction records from the XRP Ledger, covering all transaction types for general user activity and specific transaction types (`OfferCreate`, `Payment`) for DEX trader identification

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction sender identification

- **Purpose**: Capture all unique addresses that initiate any transaction on the XRP Ledger
- **Logic**: Extract the sender address from all transaction records regardless of transaction type. Aggregate unique addresses per 30-day window with UTC day boundaries.
- **Key fields**: `account` (sender address), `block_timestamp` (timing)

### Component B: XRPL CLOB trader identification

- **Purpose**: Identify users who trade on the central limit order book
- **Logic**: Parse transactions where the transaction type is `OfferCreate` and the result is `tesSUCCESS`, indicating successful limit order placement. Additionally, identify `Payment` transactions that modify or delete offer ledger entries, capturing trades executed through payment pathfinding. Aggregate unique addresses per 30-day window and tag with product identifier `XRPL CLOB`.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_type`, `transaction_result`, `ledger_entry_type`, `node_type`, `account` (trader address)

### Component C: XRPL AMM trader identification

- **Purpose**: Identify users who trade through automated market maker pools
- **Logic**: Join XRPL AMM reserve update records with transaction records to identify addresses executing swaps. Filter for `Payment` and `OfferCreate` transaction types with `tesSUCCESS` results, as these are the only transaction types that route trades through XRPL AMM pools. Aggregate unique addresses per 30-day window and tag with product identifier `XRPL AMM`.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_type`, `transaction_result`, `account` (trader address)
