What the largest holders did

The 300 largest QRL balances at the start or the end of the period, and how each changed. A wallet that moved its whole balance to a brand-new address is shown separately and not counted as a reduction. A lower balance is not proof of a sale: coins may move to the holder's own wallet. Coins sent to an exchange are the closest on-chain signal of selling.

Top 300 = the largest balances at the start or the end of the period. Exchange wallets, their deposit addresses and the 2018 genesis distributor are not holders and are left out. QRL wallets often move to a fresh address, because an XMSS key can only sign a limited number of times.

Distribution

How many addresses hold QRL, how many wallets sit in each size band and how many crossed a band during the period. Exchange wallets and their deposit addresses are not counted in the bands.

Outflow

928,349 QRLCoins withdrawn from exchanges.

Net flow

-287,587 QRLInflow minus outflow. Negative means coins left the exchanges.

Old coins on the move

Coin-days destroyed weighs every coin that moved by how long it had been idle, so a high value means long-held coins changed hands. Compared with the average of the twelve periods before.

QRL 2.0 testnet

Activity on the QRL 2.0 testnet (proof-of-stake, smart contracts, ML-DSA-87 signatures). Testnet coins have no value and are never added to the mainnet figures.

Transactions

Active addresses / day

Contracts deployed

Testnet activity, signed with ML-DSA-87. Reported separately and never added to the mainnet figures above.

Period: 2026-10-01 to 2026-11-01 (end exclusive, UTC). QRL mainnet unless stated. Figures are recalculated from the indexed chain data, so they can shift slightly when that data is corrected.

About this report

Quantascan publishes a weekly report every Monday and a monthly report on the first day of each month, covering the QRL proof-of-work mainnet. Weeks run Monday to Sunday and months follow the calendar, both in UTC.

Every figure is computed from blocks Quantascan indexed itself. Exchange figures include the personal deposit addresses that exchanges hand out, which Quantascan detects from on-chain behaviour. Amounts are whole QRL.

The figures are recalculated from the indexed data rather than frozen, so they can shift slightly if that data is corrected after publication. Nothing here is financial advice. You are free to quote the figures; please link back to this page.
