Timestamps and Resolutions

Timestamps

All metric timestamps are denoted in UTC and always refer to the start of an interval.

Examples:

• Monthly resolution: 2019-05-01 --> Includes data from2019-05-01 00:00 UTC to 2019-05-31 23:59 UTC (i.e. May 2019)

• Weekly resolution: 2019-05-13 --> Includes data from 2019-05-13 00:00 UTC to 2019-05-19 23:59 UTC (i.e. Week 20)

• Daily resolution: 2019-05-13--> Includes data from2019-05-13 00:00 UTC to 2019-05-13 23:59 UTC

• Hourly resolution: 2019-05-13 10:00 UTC --> Includes data from2019-05-13 10:00 UTC to 2019-05-13 10:59 UTC

• 10 Min resolution: 2019-05-13 10:20 UTC --> Includes data from 2019-05-13 10:20 UTC to 2019-05-13 10:29 UTC

Resolutions

Currently, Glassnode metrics as available in the following resolutions*:

• 1 month (API param: 1month)

• 1 week (1w)

• 1 day (24h)

• 1 hour (1h)

• 10 minutes (10m)

Resolution means the frequency at which the data is being updated, as well as the time window over which a metric is being aggregated.

For instance, the number of active addresses on a 24h resolution shows the total number of active addresses over 24 hours (the time window). In addition, a new data point is provided once a day (the frequency). The same mechanism is applied analogously to all other resolutions.

For metrics that show the current state of the blockchain rather than an aggregate over a window (e.g. the number of addresses with a non-zero balance), the value refers to the time at the end of the interval.

*All metrics are always available at a 24h resolution. Whether other resolutions are available for a particular metric, depends on the metric and your plan. For a full overview of which metric is currently available a what resolution, please refer to our Metrics Catalogue.

The Advanced Light API serves daily (1d) resolution only, which can differ from the resolutions available to the same plan in Glassnode Studio.
