ETH: NFT Traders

Included with Plus.

The number of different addresses that bought or sold an NFT on the covered marketplaces each day.

Why use it. Shows whether activity is spread across many people or a shrinking group of heavy traders. How to read it. More buyers than sellers means demand is broadening. One person with several addresses counts several times.

Calculation. Covers sales settled on Seaport (the contract OpenSea and several other marketplaces run on), Blur's exchanges, LooksRare and the CryptoPunks contract, read from their own events on CryptoKeyhole's Ethereum archive node. Sales routed through aggregators settle on these contracts and count once. Sales paid in anything other than ETH, WETH, Blur's pool, USDC, USDT or DAI are left out, and so are CryptoPunks bids accepted, whose event logs no price. History is read newest first and reaches back to January 2022 at the earliest: before that most sales ran through a contract whose events do not say what was sold. Prices in dollars convert to ether at the day's close of CryptoKeyhole's ETH/USD index, and the other way round. The open day is a labelled partial.
