Activity counts (`TXNS`, `CHAIN_TXNS`, `FEES`, `CHAIN_FEES`) are daily sums; user counts (`DAU`, `NEW_USERS`, `CHAIN_DAU`, `CHAIN_MAU`) are daily averages; `CHAIN_TVL` is an end-of-day snapshot. Chains are the largest metric surface in the API. `eth` alone supports 104 metrics. The table below is a core set for cross-chain comparison; call [`GET /supported-metrics/`](/docs/artemis-api/discovery) on any chain symbol for the rest. ## Metrics | Metric | Label | Unit | Aggregation | | - | - | - | - | | `DAU` | Daily Active Users | Nominal | `AVERAGE` | | `TXNS` | Transactions | Nominal | `SUM` | | `FEES` | Fees | Currency | `SUM` | | `REVENUE` | Revenue | Currency | `SUM` | | `NEW_USERS` | New Users | Nominal | `AVERAGE` | | `CHAIN_DAU` | Daily Active Users (Chain) | Nominal | `AVERAGE` | | `CHAIN_TXNS` | Chain Transactions | Nominal | `SUM` | | `CHAIN_FEES` | Chain Fees | Currency | `SUM` | | `CHAIN_TVL` | Chain TVL | Currency | `LAST` | | `CHAIN_MAU` | Chain MAU | Nominal | `AVERAGE` | | `CHAIN_AVG_TXN_FEE` | Chain Average Transaction Fee | Currency | `AVERAGE` | | `CHAIN_SPOT_VOLUME` | Spot Volume (Chain) | Currency | `SUM` | `DAU` is defined as addresses using a protocol's products; `CHAIN_DAU` is specifically addresses that send a transaction on the chain. For `eth`, `trx` and `sol` on 2026-08-01 the two returned identical values. `FEES` and `CHAIN_FEES` do diverge on `eth`: `FEES` also folds in application-level fees from DeFi protocols built on top of the chain, on top of raw gas: \$193,124.92 versus `CHAIN_FEES`'s \$193,103.06 on the same day. Chain-level figures live in the `CHAIN_*` family: use `CHAIN_MAU`, `CHAIN_AVG_TXN_FEE` and `CHAIN_TVL`. For burn value, `eth`'s `REVENUE` is the USD value of ETH burned via EIP-1559. ## Covered chains Artemis covers 112 chains, including: `eth` · `sol` · `btc` · `base` · `arb` · `bnb` · `trx` · `op` · `pol` · `avax` · `sui` · `apt` · `near` · `ton` · `hype` · `linea` · `xrp` · `ada` · `unichain` · `mnt` For the full list, filter [`GET /asset/`](/docs/artemis-api/discovery) by sector. ## Example: Daily users, transactions, fees and revenue ```bash theme={null} curl -s "https://data-svc.artemisxyz.com/v2/data/DAU,TXNS,FEES,REVENUE?symbols=trx,sol,bnb,eth,base,arb&startDate=2026-07-25&endDate=2026-08-01&summarize=true&APIKey=$ARTEMIS_API_KEY" ``` | Chain | DAU | Transactions | Fees | Revenue | | - | - | - | - | - | | Tron | 3,924,456 | 13,371,775 | \$899,742 | \$899,742 | | Solana | 3,187,274 | 119,721,261 | \$423,018 | \$522,786 | | BNB Chain | 2,083,290 | 18,403,928 | \$807,056 | \$807,056 | | Ethereum | 439,738 | 1,827,075 | \$193,125 | \$193,125 | | Base | 239,854 | 7,636,012 | \$35,830 | \$35,706 | | Arbitrum | 133,039 | 1,743,925 | \$13,180 | \$3,494 | Because this request uses `summarize=true`, every figure above is the **2026-08-01 value**, not an eight-day total. `summarize` returns the `endDate` day regardless of whether a metric is `SUM`, `LAST` or `AVERAGE`. See [Core concepts](/docs/artemis-api/core-concepts). Fees and revenue aren't the same quantity, and `/supported-metrics/` explains why they diverge here. Solana's `REVENUE` description specifically includes "Jito tips accruing to SOL stakers" on top of base, priority and vote fees (value `FEES` doesn't count), which is why revenue (\$522,786) comes in above fees (\$423,018). Arbitrum's `REVENUE` is defined as fees paid to the sequencer **minus** the cost of posting that transaction data back to Ethereum mainnet, which is why its revenue (\$3,494) sits far below its fees (\$13,180). ## Chain TVL ```bash theme={null} curl -s "https://data-svc.artemisxyz.com/v2/data/CHAIN_TVL?symbols=eth,sol,base,trx,bnb,arb&startDate=2026-08-01&endDate=2026-08-01&APIKey=$ARTEMIS_API_KEY" ``` | Chain | Chain TVL | | - | - | | Ethereum | \$37.99B | | Solana | \$4.45B | | Base | \$3.99B | | Tron | \$3.31B | | BNB Chain | \$2.60B | | Arbitrum | \$1.35B | ## Split by category Chain-level metrics are reported as a single total per chain, so the `CHAIN_*` family carries `dimension_type: TOTAL` and isn't split further. Each metric's `cuts` array in [`GET /supported-metrics/`](/docs/artemis-api/discovery) lists the dimensions it supports. The plain `DAU`, `TXNS` and `NEW_USERS` metrics list both `TOTAL` and `CATEGORY` cuts, and `CATEGORY` does resolve for `DAU` and `TXNS`: ```bash theme={null} curl -s "https://data-svc.artemisxyz.com/v2/data/DAU?symbols=eth&startDate=2026-08-01&endDate=2026-08-01&dimensionType=CATEGORY&APIKey=$ARTEMIS_API_KEY" ``` Ethereum's `DAU` by category on 2026-08-01, top ten of twenty: | Category | DAU | | - | - | | EOA | 184,521 | | Stablecoin | 156,201 | | Bridge | 93,747 | | Untagged Real Users | 82,621 | | Cefi | 34,022 | | Defi | 14,170 | | NFT App | 12,744 | | Infrastructure | 7,403 | | Unlabeled | 6,145 | | Token | 2,911 | Unlike the chain splits on [Lending](/docs/artemis-api/metrics/lending) and [Stablecoins](/docs/artemis-api/metrics/stablecoins), this one isn't a clean partition. All twenty categories sum to 605,380, well above the undifferentiated `DAU` total of 439,738 for the same day, because an address active in more than one category (for example a stablecoin transfer routed through a bridge) is counted in each. Treat the category split as directional, not additive. Each metric's `cuts` array lists the dimensions it supports, and a live call confirms a breakdown's shape before you build on it.
