Ethereum - 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?

    Methodology

    First we will see the total number of Metamask wallet holders.

    Since there is no way for us to know all the Metamask wallet holders, we will see the total number of users that have used the native Metamask Swap functionality.

    Then we will see the daily number of active users and daily number of transactions along with the 7 day average for both.

    Then we will see the average, maximum, minimum and median value of ETH held in these wallets.

    Finally we will see how many of these wallets have participated in activities like staking and providing liquidity.
