QRL daily active addresses (DAU) is the number of unique wallets that sent or received a user transaction each day, drawn as one continuous line from the original Proof-of-Work chain into QRL 2.0. Mining-pool batch payouts and block or validator rewards are excluded by default, so the line tracks real adoption — wallets genuinely transacting, not payout bots — with a toggle to include them.

FAQ about this chart
Common questions about this page+
What does the QRL daily active addresses chart show?
It shows how many unique addresses sent or received a user transaction on each day, drawn as one continuous line spanning the original Proof-of-Work chain and QRL 2.0. Each address is counted once per day no matter how many transactions it made, so the line tracks how many wallets are genuinely in use.
What counts as an active address?
An address is active on a day when it is the sender or recipient of an economic transaction: value transfers, token transfers and multi-sig spends on the Proof-of-Work chain, and any EVM transaction on QRL 2.0. Protocol payouts do not count — block rewards on the Proof-of-Work chain and validator withdrawals on QRL 2.0 are excluded, so quiet days are not inflated by mining or staking payouts.
Why are pool payouts excluded by default?
Mining pools on the Proof-of-Work chain pay hundreds of miners every day in big batch transactions; on a typical day roughly two-thirds of all “active” addresses are wallets passively receiving a pool payout, not wallets anyone is using. The default view drops any sender paying 20 or more distinct recipients in a day (a pool, exchange batch or airdrop) and the recipients of those payouts. A miner still counts on any day it sends its own transaction. Switch to “All (incl. payouts)” for the unfiltered count.
How is this different from the wallet count chart?
The wallet count is a stock: the total number of wallets ever seen on-chain, which only grows. Daily active addresses is a flow: how many distinct wallets actually transacted on a specific day — it rises and falls with real usage. To split that daily total into first-timers and repeat users, see the new vs returning chart.
How does this relate to the weekly and monthly active addresses?
This chart is the raw daily count, so it swings from day to day. The weekly & monthly active addresses chart smooths that into rolling 7-day (WAU) and 30-day (MAU) windows, counting each wallet once per window. Both use the same payout-excluded definition, so the daily, weekly and monthly views tell one consistent adoption story.
How are the Proof-of-Work chain and QRL 2.0 combined into one line?
Address formats differ per chain (79-character XMSS addresses on the Proof-of-Work chain, 41-character addresses on QRL 2.0), so a single address can only ever exist on one chain. Each chain's daily count is computed separately and the timeline hands over from the Proof-of-Work chain to QRL 2.0 at the migration cutover, drawn as one continuous line.
Why is the QRL 2.0 portion small next to the Proof-of-Work chain?
QRL 2.0 is newly launched, so only a handful of wallets transact daily, while the original Proof-of-Work chain carries years of history with dozens to hundreds of daily active addresses. The QRL 2.0 share grows as adoption grows; the handover marks where the chain transitions from Proof-of-Work to QRL 2.0.
