The methodology

A complete look at onchain activity

A glimpse into 99.8% of read traffic only visible to RPC providers like Alchemy

  • Usage units (UU) measure how much compute an activity uses. Different activities require different amounts of work, so usage units capture more than a simple count of requests or transactions. This includes reading blockchain data as well as submitting transactions through Alchemy. Higher usage indicates more compute activity.
  • Chain rankings are based on paid-plan usage on Alchemy. Excluding free-plan traffic helps reduce the influence of spam and attempts to manipulate rankings. Mainnet and testnet activity are combined under each chain.
  • The weekly usage ranking orders chains by total usage units in the latest complete Monday–Sunday week, measured in UTC. The percentage beneath each total compares that week with the preceding week. Incomplete weeks are excluded from the chart.
