Dashboard Templates
Track daily, weekly and monthly active wallets, stickiness, and retention with this active wallets dashboard template for onchain and DeFi teams.
Active wallets are the crypto-native version of active users: the count of unique wallet addresses that interact with your app in a given period. Daily, weekly, and monthly active wallets (DAW, WAW, MAW) are the baseline health metric every onchain team tracks, and the DAU/MAU ratio measures how sticky that usage is.
Wallet activity is noisier than web2 app usage because a single person can hold many wallets and bots can inflate raw counts. Pairing active-wallet trends with a new-versus-returning split, a stickiness ratio, and a chain breakdown gives a truer read on whether real, repeat usage is growing.
What’s included
Daily Active Wallets: a 30 day line chart of unique wallets active per day.
Average DAU: a KPI number showing mean daily active wallets across the last 30 days.
DAU/MAU Stickiness: a line chart of the share of monthly wallets active on an average day.
New vs Returning Wallets: a stacked bar chart splitting daily active wallets by whether it is their first ever day.
Weekly Active Wallets: a line chart that smooths the daily noise in dapp usage.
Active Wallets by Chain: a pie chart of which chains your active wallets transact on.
Wallet Retention: a weekly cohort retention chart of wallets that connect and return to transact.
Use this dashboard to track whether active wallets, stickiness, and repeat usage are growing, not just raw traffic.
How to build this dashboard
Install the Formo SDK — active wallets, sessions, and chains are captured automatically once it is live.
Create a board and add the Active Wallets template from the gallery.
The charts populate with your data; adjust the date range or add filters as needed. Track the long game on the retention view.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an active wallet?
An active wallet is a unique wallet address that performs at least one tracked action, such as a page view, connect, or transaction, within a time window. Daily, weekly, and monthly active wallets count the distinct addresses active over that day, week, or month.
2. What is the difference between DAU, WAU and MAU for wallets?
They are the count of distinct active wallets over one day, one week, and one month respectively. Daily active wallets show short-term engagement, weekly smooths daily spikes, and monthly captures your total reachable active base.
3. How is the DAU/MAU stickiness ratio calculated?
Divide average daily active wallets by monthly active wallets. A ratio of 0.2 means the average wallet is active on 1 in 5 days of the month. For consumer dapps, 0.2 and above is considered strong, though benchmarks vary by category.
4. What is a good DAU/MAU ratio for a dapp?
There is no universal benchmark, but 0.1 to 0.2 is typical for onchain apps and above 0.2 is strong. Financial and trading dapps tend to run higher than one-off mint or claim flows, so compare against your own trend rather than a fixed number.
5. What charts are included in the Active Wallets Dashboard?
A Daily Active Wallets line, an Average DAU KPI, a DAU/MAU Stickiness line, a New vs Returning split, a Weekly Active Wallets line, an Active Wallets by Chain pie, and a weekly Wallet Retention cohort chart.
6. What does the New vs Returning chart show?
It splits each day’s active wallets into wallets seen for the first time ever and wallets that have been active before. A healthy app grows returning wallets over time rather than relying on a constant stream of new ones.
7. What setup is required to use the Active Wallets Dashboard?
None. Active wallets, sessions, connections, and chains are captured automatically from standard Formo tracking once the SDK is installed. No custom events are required.
8. Do bot wallets inflate active wallet counts?
They can. Automated wallets and airdrop farmers can raise raw active-wallet numbers without representing real users, which is why this dashboard pairs activity with a new-versus-returning split and why teams often layer in the Sybil detection dashboard.
9. Why use weekly active wallets alongside daily?
Daily active wallets are volatile for dapps because usage clusters around events, launches, and incentives. Weekly active wallets smooth that noise, making the underlying growth trend easier to read.
10. Who should use the Active Wallets Dashboard?
Product and growth teams at onchain and DeFi apps that want a single view of active wallets, stickiness, and retention to judge whether real usage is growing.
