Number of Addresses Last Active 6-12M
Number of Addresses Last Active 6–12 Months measures the total number of ICP addresses that have conducted at least one successful transaction between six and twelve months ago. This tier provides a view of addresses that were active in the recent past but have not interacted on-chain in the last six months, offering insight into mid-term activity trends and partially dormant participants.
How it’s calculated
Addresses are analyzed based on the timestamp of their most recent successful transaction. If an address’s last activity occurred between six and twelve months ago, it is included in this metric. Each address is counted once per measurement period, regardless of transaction frequency or volume.
What this metric highlights
This metric helps illustrate the mid-term engagement and dormancy profile of the network:
- Increasing number of addresses in this range: Could indicate that more addresses are becoming inactive over time, transitioning from the <6M tier, or that users are temporarily reducing on-chain activity.
- Stable count: Suggests a consistent level of addresses that are neither fully active nor fully dormant, reflecting a balance in mid-term participation.
- Decreasing count: May indicate addresses returning to activity within the last six months, migration to longer dormancy, or consolidation of wallets.
Limitations
When interpreting this metric, the following considerations are important:
- No insight into balance or economic impact: All addresses are counted equally, whether they hold minimal ICP or significant amounts.
- Identity and purpose are unknown: Addresses may belong to individuals, custodial entities, DAOs, exchanges, or automated systems.
- Does not indicate intent or sentiment: Being in this range does not imply accumulation, exit, or strategic behavior—only recency of activity.
