Number of Addresses Last Active 5-6 Years

Number of Addresses Last Active 5–6 Years measures the number of ICP addresses whose last successful transaction occurred between five and six years ago. This tier represents a segment of addresses that have gone long periods without activity, reflecting participants from early or previous network phases who have not re-engaged for multiple years.

How it’s calculated

This metric is derived by examining the timestamp of each address’s most recent successful transaction. Any address last active between five and six years ago is counted once, regardless of its past transaction frequency or amount.

What this metric highlights

Addresses in this tier help illustrate deep dormancy and long-term disengagement:

• Increasing numbers may suggest continued aging of previously active wallets into deeper dormancy.
• Stable values indicate a persistent group of historically inactive addresses that have remained untouched for half a decade or more.
• Decreasing counts may signal occasional reactivation or migration into even longer inactivity tiers.

Limitations

When interpreting this metric, several considerations apply:

• Balance uncertainty: Addresses are counted equally, regardless of whether they contain negligible amounts of ICP or significant holdings.
• No address classification: The metric does not identify whether an address belongs to an individual, exchange, custodial service, smart contract, or automated system.
• No implied motivation: Dormancy does not signal strategy, lost access, long-term holding conviction, or disinterest; it only measures the time elapsed since activity.
