🔭 C-Chain daily block count has sustained growth over 5+ years, with no signs of slowing down.
▫️ ~40k daily blocks baseline (2022–2024)
▫️ Accelerated to 50k+ in early 2025
▫️ Now at 84k blocks/day (May 2026)
C-Chain continues to scale capacity while maintaining uptime.
🔭 C-Chain shifted to a structurally higher baseline.
Last 3 months:
▫️ 2.66M transactions/day (+19% vs prior 3M)
▫️ 787k active addresses/day (+136% vs prior 3M)
Active addresses stabilized at 760–790k/day across Feb, Mar, Apr, as the new floor.
TX/active address ratio slid from ~14 (Oct 2025) to ~3–4 (Apr 2026) as the network it’s onboarding more wallets, with thinner, more distributed usage across a larger base.

Here's how to use it 🧵
🔭 C-Chain is not growing normally anymore.
Daily transactions hit 2.7M–3.6M while active addresses stabilized around 700k–900k after January.
By early April:
▫️ TX count pushed above 3.6M
▫️ Active addresses grinded at 713k–816k
January → user base expansion
February/March → high-activity plateau
April → higher intensity per wallet

How does putting business onchain benefit Avalanche?
To answer this question we have to understand another, what are people willing to pay for?
The long-term health of a blockchain depends on sustainable use of the network.
Real businesses are the clearest driver of that. They build products people need, bring in real users, and create repeatable demand.
That demand shows up in the metrics that matter: application revenue, gas usage, returning users, and value flowing across applications and L1s.
Put simply, this is onchain GDP. The measurable economic output of the network.
This is where tokenomics becomes grounded in the fundamentals of business.
More sustainable businesses lead to more users. More users lead to more revenue onchain. And that is what ultimately supports stronger, more sustainable tokenomics.
more businesses = more fees = more burned AVAX.
Sustainable crypto is driven by people paying for things they find useful.
That’s business. And Avalanche is built for business 🔺
Routescan AI Agent gives you live, structured answers on every Avalanche L1, in natural language, with data you can verify.
💡 "How are daily transactions trending between Avalanche C-Chain and @dexalot over the last 30 days?"
💡 "Which contracts had the biggest gas spike in the last 7 days?"
💡 How has daily active address count changed on @DeFiKingdoms since launch?
🤖 Agents are here!
Most people still query blockchain data like it's 2020.
Meanwhile, builders on Avalanche just ask in plain English.
"Compare C-Chain and @dexalot transaction volume, last 30 days."
The AI agent pulls live data from Routescan's index across all Avalanche L1s and delivers a structured answer in under 3 seconds.
No SQL. No API docs. Just questions. ↓
🚨 Avalanche C-Chain is consistently processing ~2.5M daily transactions, with active addresses
▫️ Daily Transactions: 2,434,161 +13%
▫️ Active Addresses: 756,539 +58%
From mid-January onward, daily active addresses stepped up sharply: C-Chain averaged roughly 913k active addresses per day, with multiple days above one million.

What this would mean for stakers (paging @coreapp users):
** no timelines for this are mentioned in the thread. Go participate in the discussion on Github. Informational rant incoming from your friendly local Product Support Manager 🤓 please read the quoted thread for more information. **
The staking process in Core would not change. When DYOR'ing (like the responsible users I know you are) - you will want to make sure the uptime for nodes you want to delegate to are in the 90-100% range, not 80-100%.
How can you do this? Use the explorers to check on node performance, historical behavior, and make informed decisions. Some places you can do that outside of the Core web staking dashboard (non exhaustive, we have lots of great explorers in the eco!):

What happens if the node I delegated to doesn't reach the 90% uptime minimum proposed?
Unfortunately, this means delegators and validators will not get their staking rewards. This is not a Core wallet decision, it is a network level requirement needing to be met (more information in the thread below).
But when I delegated to this node, it met the uptime requirement. Why did it fall below the threshold after and cause me to not get a reward?
Unfortunately, we can't answer this. This can happen at any time. If the node goes offline and falls below the threshold, the rewards won't be received by the stakers.
With the decentralized nature of the Avalanche network, anyone can be a validator if they meet the minimum requirements, and we can't track them all down and tell them to fix their nodes. There are notification options available for validators (more information on that in the thread below) to help track their uptime.
This is always why myself / my team recommend doing thorough research before staking. NFA as always, we want staking transactions to complete as successfully as you want them to. 🤝🏼
🚨 Avalanche C-Chain throughput is trending up
the real change is on the participation side: active addresses stepped up sharply

▫️ ~800.4k daily active addresses (+190% MoM)
▫️ 2.63M avg daily transactions (+15.5%)
