Total Metamask Users
Q1. How many total Metamask wallet holders are there? What’s the average value of ETH held in wallets? What percentage of wallets are engaging in a higher order activity, like staking?
What is Metamask?
MetaMask is a wallet for the most diverse blockchain in existence–Ethereum. It’s a gateway to its DeFi ecosystem, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), ERC-20 tokens, and practically–everything on Ethereum.
MetaMask is the trailblazing tool enabling user interactions and experience on Web3. It is currently available as a browser extension and as a mobile app on both Android and iOS devices.
prominent features of this wallet:
Ease of use:
Starting with MetaMask is easy, quick, and anonymous. You don’t even need an email address. Just set up a password and remember (and store) the secret recovery phrase, and you’re done.
Security:
Your information is encrypted in your browser that nobody has access to. In the event of a lost password, you have the 12-word secret recovery phase (also called a seed phrase) for recovery. Notably, it’s essential to keep the seed phrase safe, as even MetaMask has no information about it. Once lost, it can’t be retrieved.
Built-In Crypto Store:
If you’re wondering, no, you can’t buy Bitcoin with MetaMask. It only supports Ether and other Ether-related tokens, including the famous ERC-20 tokens. Cryptocurrencies (excluding Ether) on Ethereum are built as ERC-20 tokens.
Backup and Restore:
MetaMask stores your information locally. So, in case you switch browsers or machines, you can restore your MetaMask wallet with your secret recovery phrase.
Methodology
I used to categorize Metamask wallets as wallets that have used the Metamask swap feature (interacted with this contract 0x881D40237659C251811CEC9c364ef91dC08D300C). After that, I found the average amount of wallet balance in ETH and USD after January 1, and finally, I found the distinct users for each activity by using the fact_event_logs table.
It is clear from the chart and table below that the most used activies in order of users are transfer, swap, sync, deposit, approval , withdraw,... .
Staked is the 20th acticity in case of number of users.
