About the data

What is counted

Monthly Polymarket activity in the included Polygon market and combo trade tables.

Coverage and comparison
  • First-to-last complete-month comparison: Jun 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026, expressed in first-month index and observed values.
  • Monthly volume counts taker-side USD amount once per included match. Active trader addresses use the maker wallet, mapped to an owner when Dune's lookup provides one; they are account identifiers, not people.
  • 13 complete months are shown. In the latest month, 48.7% of raw maker wallets mapped through the owner lookup; unmapped wallets remain as their own identifiers.
What this does not show

The chart is not wash-trading-adjusted and does not prove unique users, adoption, organic demand, profitability, liquidity quality, causality, or activity outside the included Polygon trade tables.

Common questions

Did Polymarket volume grow faster than active trader addresses?

Yes in this reviewed window. Included volume increased +620.5%, compared with +176.3% for active trader addresses.

What is an active trader address in this chart?

It is an included maker wallet mapped to an owner address when Dune's users_address_lookup provides one; otherwise the wallet itself is retained. It is not a count of unique people.

Does higher volume prove broader Polymarket adoption?

No. The chart compares two observed on-chain series. It does not adjust for wash trading or establish adoption, organic demand, profitability, liquidity quality, or cause.

Source and coverage

The published dataset spans Jun 1, 2025 to Jun 1, 2026. Its rows represent complete calendar month. The data run through Jun 30, 2026. This is a dated chart input rather than a live market feed.

Method

Monthly volume sums taker-side USD amount from Dune's Polymarket market and combo trade tables so each included match is counted once. Active trader addresses use the maker wallet, mapped to an owner where users_address_lookup provides one, otherwise the wallet is retained. Both series are indexed to 100 in June 2025. The latest month mapped 48.7% of raw maker wallets through users_address_lookup. Canonical counts retain unmapped wallets, so addresses remain account identifiers rather than people.

Limits

Address counts are account identifiers, not unique people, and the volume is not wash-trading-adjusted. Do not read this chart as proof of liquidity, demand, solvency, peg safety, or future market direction unless those claims are explicitly measured.
