On-Chain Demand signifies the level of genuine interest and active participation in a specific digital asset or blockchain protocol, as directly observable through blockchain transaction data. This metric quantifies the utilization of a network for its intended purposes, such as making payments, interacting with decentralized applications, or securing assets. It is a key indicator of organic adoption and fundamental utility, distinct from speculative trading volume.
