Details

  • For UTXO chains, the heuristics used are:

    • Early spend: outputs spent one hour or less after being created are not counted

    • Round numbers: if one output has much more precision than the other outputs in the same transaction, it’s not counted. For example, if a transaction creates 2 outputs, one of 1.00000000 BTC and one of 0.2561278 BTC, the second one would not be counted.

    • Self churn: outputs that have the same address as any of the inputs addresses are discounted

    • Also removed are cold wallet shuffles (when an exchange changes their cold wallet addresses) and other artifacts such as noise generated by early Bitcoin applications like Satoshi Dice

  • For account chains, this metric is computed as the sum number of native units received by accounts, whose net balance did change in that hour.

Asset-Specific Details

  • For assets that have opt-in privacy features, like ZCash, it only takes the non-private activity.

Example

  • If in the same hour:

    • ** Account A sends 50 units to B

    • ** Account C sends 50 units to A

    • ** Account B sends 50 units to E

    • ** Account D sends 49 units to B

  • Then:

    • ** Account A has a net balance change of 0, received 50

    • ** Account B has a net balance change of -1, received 99

    • ** Account C has a net balance change of -50, received 0

    • ** Account D has a net balance change of -49, received 0

    • ** Account E has a net balance change of +50, received 50

  • *** Unadjusted volume is 199

  • *** Adjusted volume is 149 (B: 99, E: 50)

Xfer'd by Contract Calls

Definition

The sum of all native units or USD transferred by contract calls on that interval. A contract call is the invocation of a contract’s code by another contract or non-contract address. Only successful calls are considered.

  • TxTrfValContCallNtv is computed as TxTfrValAdjNtv / BlkSizeByte

  • TxTrfValContCallUSD is computed as TxTfrValAdjUSD / BlkSizeByte

  • This metric estimates the economical density of an asset.

Asset Specific Details

  • For SOL this metric measures the value transferred by instructions which sent value to program-derived accounts. Excludes vote accounts and externally-owned accounts.

Xfer'd Days Destroyed

Definitions

The sum of all native units transferred that interval multiplied by the sum of days since those native units were last transferred.

TxTfrValDayDst

Dimensionless

1 day, 1 block

Details

  • Days destroyed is a measure of time * money.

  • When an unspent output is spent, the time it stayed unspent (in days) is multiplied by its value, this metric measures the sum of these coin days spent in a given day.

  • Only full days are taken into account (2.5 days count as 2 days)

Asset-Specific Details

  • Only available for UTXO chains.

  • For assets that have opt-in privacy features, like ZCash, it only takes the non-private activity.

  • This metric counts transfers between two addresses, exluding transfers from or to the null account (issuance account) as those would be considered mints (transfers from) and burns (transfers to). These would be counted in our SplyCur metric as an increase or decrease in the supply.
