Avalanche Monthly Transactions

Numbers come from the public Avalanche metrics API at metrics.avax.network. We read its daily C-Chain transaction series, which is complete (2,153 consecutive days with no gaps) and sum it into calendar months in UTC.

We do not use that API's own monthly rollup, because it is wrong for 9 of the 71 months in this history. In each of those cases it returns the sum of only part of the month, understating the true total by anywhere from 2.4% to 97.5%. April 2026 comes back as 1,922,994 there, which is exactly its April 30 value, while the month actually saw 76,366,700 transactions. The same days are missing from that API's monthly gas figures, so it is a rollup problem rather than anything specific to transaction counts. We have written the finding up for the Avalanche team.

On the cross-check: across the 70 completed months, the widest gap between the two sources in any month of a million transactions or more is 4.86% (May 2021). The 10 months below that mark, all in 2020 and early 2021, differ by more, up to 22% in Sep 2020, when the entire chain was doing double digits a day and a handful of transactions is a large percentage. The metrics API documents that it counts approximately, which is the likely reason.

The running month is marked with the number of days covered so far, and a year still in progress is compared against the same months of the previous year rather than its full twelve, so a partial period is never mistaken for a slowdown. Data is cached for six hours. SOCI4L is the reputation layer for Avalanche, and these are the same public data sources behind our wallet reputation profiles.
