XMTP Network Metrics: Jan 6th, 2026
XMTP Network Stats

Since launching v3 about 7 months ago, the network has processed over 228 million messages, 103 million chat messages, 15 million identity registrations, and 110 million other system messages.

The World Chat launch on December 11th marked a significant moment. In less than a month, the network has handled 23.4 million chat messages, more than double the daily average we saw before. That's an additional 10.7 million messages above what baseline activity over the prior 30 days would have predicted.

Identity registrations have followed a similar trajectory, with 2.1 million new registrations representing roughly 800,000 more than we'd expect from baseline growth.

A few notes on metrics and privacy:

On XMTP Mainnet, every message is a transaction. This ensures that XMTP is economically sustainable. It costs about $5 per 100k messages. Read more about sustaining the XMTP network here.
