What this variable measures

Real addresses using the protocol, filtered for the obvious forms of inflation.

A 10 means a large, retained user base. A 1 means near-zero use or activity that does not survive a filter.

Users are what revenue is made of. A protocol with revenue and no users has a counterparty problem it has not disclosed yet.

02

What the universe says

Across 251 rated tokens the median score on Active Users is 4 of 10 and the mean is 4.05. No token scores 9 or 10, and 32 score 2 or below. Hyperliquid leads at 8 of 10.

Active Users correlates 0.86 with the composite score across the universe, which makes it almost the same measurement as overall standing. Tokens that win here tend to win everywhere, so a high score is confirmation rather than an edge.

Against live market capitalisation for the 236 tokens with a matched market row, Active Users carries a rank correlation of 0.47. The market already pays up for this. A high score is priced in, and the interesting cases are the tokens that score well and are still small.

Active Users and Network Growth correlate 0.86, so reading both is close to reading one twice. Treat them as a single position on the same question rather than two independent confirmations.

GEODNET (GEOD) scores 8 of 10 on Active Users, 1st of 251, on a market capitalisation under $500M. That gap between rank on this variable and rank by size is the whole reason to read the table rather than the top ten.

Tokens at each score from 1 to 10. The shape matters: a variable where almost everything clusters at 3 is telling you the whole category fails it, not that one token is unusual.

04

All 251 tokens ranked

Sorted by score on this variable alone, so a token can lead here and rank poorly overall. That disagreement is the useful part: it is where a single-variable screen finds something the composite averages away.

Scores come from the research pass dated 18 Sept 2026 and do not move with price. Market capitalisation is from the live snapshot fetched 7 Oct 2026, so the two columns are stamped at different times on purpose.

05

Variables that move with this one

Correlations across all 251 rated tokens. A number near 1 means the two variables are close to the same measurement, which is worth knowing before treating a second high score as independent confirmation of the first.

06

Common questions

Which crypto tokens score highest on active users?
Hyperliquid (HYPE) at 8, Ethereum (ETH) at 8, Wrapped Lido Staked ETH (WSTETH) at 8, Bitcoin (BTC) at 8, GEODNET (GEOD) at 8 lead the 251 rated tokens on Active Users, each scored 1 to 10 against the same definition.
What is a good active users score?
The median across the universe is 4 of 10 and the mean is 4.05, so anything at 7 or above sits well inside the top of the distribution. Only 0 of 251 tokens reach 9 or 10.
Does active users affect a token's market cap?
Rank correlation between Active Users and market capitalisation is 0.47 across 236 tokens with live market data. That is a clear relationship, so most of a high score is already in the price.
