User Activity Spike

Definition

A user activity spike signifies a sudden and substantial increase in the number of unique participants interacting with a blockchain network or decentralized application. This surge in engagement is typically measured by metrics such as a sharp rise in active addresses, daily transactions, or new user registrations within a short timeframe. Such a spike often indicates a period of heightened interest, successful marketing, or the launch of a popular new feature or application. It can place considerable stress on network infrastructure, potentially leading to increased transaction fees and slower processing times.
