Dormant supply splits the coin supply by how long since each holder last transacted — stacked as a percentage so you can watch old coins settle into long-term holding or wake up and move. Bands run from freshly active (< 1 month) to deeply dormant (> 5 years). It is the on-chain “HODL waves” view: a growing deep-dormant band means conviction holding (or lost coins), while a swelling fresh band means old supply is moving. The original Proof-of-Work chain carries the deep multi-year history; toggle to it for the full picture.

FAQ about this chart
Common questions about this page+
What does the dormant supply chart show?
It splits the coin supply into bands by how long since each holder last transacted, stacked as a percentage of supply per day. A large deep-dormant band (> 1 year, > 5 years) means a big share of coins are being held long-term or are lost; a growing fresh band (< 1 month) means previously-still supply is moving again.
How is coin age measured here?
By the address's last on-chain activity (sent or received) — the same definition as the dormant-buckets snapshot. It is an account-model approximation: it tracks when an address last did anything, not the age of individual coins (there are no UTXOs on QRL). When an address transacts, its whole balance resets to the freshest band.
Why is QRL 2.0 almost entirely 'fresh'?
Because QRL 2.0 is the newer chain — there simply hasn't been enough elapsed time for supply to age into the multi-year bands yet, so nearly everything sits in the recent bands. The deep dormancy history lives on the Proof-of-Work chain (8+ years); use the chain toggle to see it. As QRL 2.0 matures its older bands will fill in.
Are lost coins counted as dormant?
Yes — the chart cannot distinguish a deliberately-held wallet from one whose keys are lost; both simply show no activity and age into the deep-dormant bands. A persistently large > 5-year band therefore reflects a mix of strong-conviction holders and permanently-lost coins. Consensus-banned balances (the 2022 inflation-attack address) are excluded.
