What the chain is actually used for: how many payments settle, how much value moves, what senders pay to move it, and how long coins sit still between moves. Every figure here is walked from our own full node, block by block from genesis.
Non-coinbase transactions per day, and the PRL they moved. The coinbase is excluded throughout: a block paying its own miner is issuance, not somebody sending money. Volume is gross — a payment of 1 PRL that returns 99 as change counts 100, because a UTXO chain cannot tell change from payment without guessing.
The day's on-chain volume as a multiple of the supply that existed that day. This is velocity with the growth taken out: the denominator rises on its own as coins are mined, so a flat line means activity is keeping pace with issuance and a falling one means the new coins are sitting still.
What senders paid, in PRL and in dollars. Computed as inputs minus outputs with every input resolved against the output it spends — not as the coinbase minus an assumed subsidy. At this point on the emission curve fees are a rounding error against the block reward, so read them as demand for block space rather than as miner revenue.
Every unspent coin, banded by the time since it was last moved, stacked. The height of the stack is the whole circulating supply. A band growing means coins are settling into it; the young bands swelling means coins are changing hands.
Addresses paid for the first time each day, and how many hold more than dust at the end of it. An address is not a person — wallets derive a fresh one per payment, and a single exchange can be thousands of them — so read these as activity, not as users.
