What Active Addresses Indicate

Active address metrics track the number of unique addresses that participated in transactions within a given timeframe. While not a direct measure of transaction volume or value transferred, the metric offers insight into relative network usage and participation.

A higher share of active addresses suggests elevated transactional engagement compared to peer networks during the same period.

Relative Positioning Among PoW Networks

Bitcoin ranked second with 21% of total active addresses, followed by Dogecoin at 12%. Dash and Bitcoin Cash accounted for smaller portions of overall activity.

The snapshot reflects short-term network participation rather than long-term adoption trends, but it highlights Litecoin’s relative strength in peer-to-peer activity during the measured 24-hour window.
