The page you shared contains misleading data. We would even go as far as calling it manipulative, as it creates the false impression that Polkadot has significantly more transactional activity than it actually does. Let's break it down. On July 18, this page: data.parity.io/parachain-sta… reports 1,822,078 transactions processed across 24 chains. However, 94% of those transactions come from Acurast alone. We investigated the data and found that over 99% of Acurast transactions are acurastProcessorManager.heartbeatWithMetrics, which is simply an automated system heartbeat transaction. We also inspected a dozen of Acurast blocks. Aside from the heartbeat transactions, we found only two other transaction types: 1. timestamp.set 2. parachainSystem.setValidationData These are also system transactions that are automatically included in every block. In other words, almost all of Acurast's reported transactions are system-generated and should not be counted as indicators of real network activity. Excluding Acurast leaves just 101,834 transactions across the remaining 23 chains. We don't have the time to manually analyze every one of those 23 chains, so we focused on the three largest contributors: Mythos, Moonbeam, and Peaq, which together account for 75,951 transactions. 1. Mythos (37,386 transactions): Mythos has 6-second block times. Every block contains both parachainSystem.setValidationData and timestamp.set, resulting in 86,400 / 6 × 2 = 28,800 system transactions per day. 2. Moonbeam: Includes the same two system transactions in every block as Mythos. 3. Peaq: Also includes the same two system transactions in every block. The remaining chains together contribute less than 1% of the reported transactions, so we did not analyze them individually. In short, the majority of the transactions shown on the page you shared are system-generated and should not be counted as genuine network activity. This is before even addressing the issue of counting batched transactions as individual transactions. While we did not inspect every parachain, the pattern is clear: system transactions are being counted as regular user transactions. Based on our analysis, we estimate that the actual number of genuine transactions processed across the entire Polkadot ecosystem is no more than 20,000–30,000 per day.
