Active users (daily)

Overview

Active users (daily) measures the number of unique addresses that make a revenue-generating transaction with a project, i.e. An application or a blockchain. Active users (daily) are measured over a fixed 24-hour window.

Data sources

• Raw blockchain transaction records and metadata
• On-chain event logs and program instructions
• Token price feeds for USD conversion

Common calculation approaches

Network-wide transaction aggregation

Unique addresses are identified from raw transaction records to quantify daily network engagement. For blockchains such as Ethereum and BNB Chain, sender addresses are extracted from transaction metadata, while on Solana, transaction signers are captured from program instructions.

Application-specific event monitoring

User activity is tracked through interactions with specific smart contracts associated with a project's core functionality. For example, on World Mobile Chain, unique recipient addresses are identified from ERC-20 Transfer events emitted by the telecom service subscription contract.

Multi-action participant identification

Active users are identified across various transaction types, including standard executions and delegated actions. On NEAR Protocol, unique user addresses are extracted from both transaction signers and participants in delegate actions to capture the full scope of daily network activity.

Note: The calculation approaches and protocol examples above are representative patterns. Individual protocol implementations may vary.
