What do we want?

How many addresses on the Optimism network are active? What’s the daily evolution of active addresses?

What’s Optimism

Optimism uses advanced data compression techniques to speed up and cut the costs of Ethereum transactions. They do so by a technique known as called Optimistic Rollups, where multiple transactions are “rolled up” into one transaction and settled on another cheaper blockchain.

Methodology

In this dashboard we are gonna evaluate the number of addresses active on Optimism network. To do that, we will define active wallet as a wallet that have been done a transaction over the past 3 months or have received at least one token during that period.

On the other hand, we will plot the evolution of active addresses in a daily basis.

I’ve used transactions table from optimism core database to get the neccesary data.let get to work :

In order to get the current number of active wallets, we first have to consider those users who have done some movement during the past 3 months. On the one hand, a total of 286.3K of addresses did some transactions. Excluding this users from those who received at least a token once during this time, a total of 16k approximatelly wallets received something. Then, a total of more than 302.5 of Optimism addresses have been active during the past 3 months.

In a daily basis, we can see how both, number of addresses doing transactions and number of addresses receiving tokens increased over time . There’s a

continuous growth of active users in optimism since it started.

Conclusion

IN this dashboard we have analyzed the active addresses on Optimism , defining them as those wallets that did some transactions or receive at least one time over time.

A total of more than 300K of Optimism addresses are currently active wallets. This number increased continuously.
