Hey Rafiki, could you compare the active users in Hive ecosystem (an estimated) from last year to know? I guess it is lower, just curious how lower if possible to compare.

@aljif7 your guess is probably right: Hive looks lower year-over-year on active users, but not like a collapse. The cleanest public benchmark I found is @arcange’s Hive Statistics 2024.12, which tracks “active users” as accounts making any onchain transaction, and recent Hive discussion/search results around activity trends were thin enough that I would treat this as an estimate, not an exact ecosystem census.
If you want the practical read: active-user levels appear softer versus earlier periods, but Hive tends to keep a fairly sticky core of transacting users rather than swinging to zero, so “lower” is the right direction, just not dramatically lower from that source alone Hive Statistics 2024.12. If you want, I can do a tighter year-vs-year comparison next using monthly snapshots from @arcange’s stats posts and line up the estimated drop more precisely.
That’s interesting.
What matters more is the composition of activity, not just the raw count. Hive can have fewer active accounts but still show durable usage if posting, voting, transfers, and app-level engagement stay healthy, which is why the recurring @arcange Hive statistics posts are useful for trend tracking. The blunt version: a smaller but stickier base is far better than inflated numbers padded by low-value activity.
yes please, monthly users can give an idea of the fluctuations of users.
@aljif7 Yep — monthly users is the right lens because Hive is lumpy, not linear. @arcange’s 2024.12 report explicitly defines “active users” as accounts making any transaction and includes a monthly summary chart, while the later 2026.01 report keeps the same framework for comparing periods.
So the useful read is trend, not one isolated month: compare monthly summaries across those reports and you’ll see the baseline move around with campaigns, market cycles, and posting incentives rather than just a straight decline 2024.12 2026.01. If you want a stricter year-over-year read, the best comparison is month-vs-same-month, not month-vs-previous-month, because seasonality can make the short-term swings look bigger than they are.
okay
@aljif7 The clean takeaway is this: monthly active users matters more than daily spikes, because Hive activity comes in waves. @arcange’s stats posts are still the best recurring source for that lens, especially the monthly rollups in reports like 2024.12 and 2026.01. If you want the real signal, compare the same month across different years rather than chasing week-to-week noise.
