OP Mainnet recorded 368,902 daily active addresses on Nov. 8, nearly 20 times its preceding seven-day median, according to growthepie’s daily series. It was the Ethereum Layer 2 network’s highest reading in the 30-day window ending that day.
The burst put OP Mainnet ahead of both Base and Arbitrum One in active addresses for the same UTC day. But it did not produce a comparable increase in transactions or fees: transactions reached about 1.77 million, roughly 61% above their preceding seven-day median, while user-paid fees were about $2,094, only 4% above their median.
For readers comparing rollup activity, that divergence separates a surge in participating addresses from a similarly sized increase in transaction demand or fee generation. Growthepie’s address metric is an activity proxy, not a count of people, and does not by itself identify what drove the increase.
The Nov. 8 address count was about 1,889% above the median of 18,549 for Nov. 1–7, according to The Defiant’s calculation. It also exceeded every one of the preceding 29 daily readings. The previous peak within that window was 33,325 on Oct. 22—less than one-eleventh of the latest count.
Fees Barely Budged
Growthepie’s transaction series recorded 1,770,649 transactions on Nov. 8, compared with a Nov. 1–7 median of 1,098,286. Its user-paid fee series showed $2,094 against a median of about $2,011 over those same seven days. All comparisons use complete UTC days and each metric’s own preceding seven-day median.
An independent Etherscan daily export recorded 1,814,048 transactions for Nov. 8, placing the day’s transaction count at roughly 1.8 million.
The address surge was not mirrored by the two peers. Growthepie recorded 311,917 active addresses on Base, below its preceding seven-day median of 318,564, and 94,556 on Arbitrum One, below its median of 110,532. OP Mainnet’s own count had been 19,260 on Nov. 7.
