Transaction activity by hour of day & day of week — UTC
Period
On-chain data has no location — that's the whole point of Zcash. So we can't show where people
are. But every block carries a UTC timestamp, so we can see the daily rhythm of usage and line it up with
where the sun is. Press play: the dark band is night sweeping across the planet, the dot is the sun
overhead. Watch which regions are in daylight when activity rises — if most users live there, they're
transacting in their waking hours.
Countries here are shaded by ZEC exchange availability — the same map as the
availability page → (green = open, amber = partial,
red = banned). Watch the daylight sweep: the hours where activity peaks are largely daytime in the green,
open-access regions — usage and access track each other closely.
Usage vs awake population vs awake-with-access — by hour (UTC)
The awake and awake-with-ZEC-access curves are true shares of global population (left axis); Zcash activity is its share of the day's transactions (right axis). Same 24-hour UTC cycle — watch the peaks line up.
Weekly peak activity hour (UTC) — trailing year
Each week's busiest UTC hour for Zcash transactions (dots), with the transaction-weighted average hour (line). Shows whether the daily activity peak drifts over the year.
