# Resolutions

All metric data in our system is reported in **UTC** time and always refers to the **start of an interval**. The resolution of a metric determines both the frequency at which it is updated and the time window over which the data is aggregated or calculated.

**Daily Resolution (1d)**

* Example: `2025-01-22 (00:00 UTC)`
  * Includes data from: `2025-01-22 00:00 UTC` to `2025-01-22 23:59 UTC`

**Weekly Resolution (1W)**

* Example: `2025-01-20 (00:00 UTC)`
  * Includes data from: `2025-01-20 00:00` UTC to `2025-01-26 23:59 UTC` (i.e., Week 4)

**Monthly Resolution (1M)**

* Example: `2025-01-01 (00:00 UTC)`
  * Includes data from: `2025-01-01 00:00 UTC` to `2025-01-31 23:59 UTC` (i.e., January 2025)

**Resolution** refers to:

1. **The frequency at which data is updated**: How often new data points are recorded.
2. **The time window over which data is aggregated**: The span of time that a metric's value represents.

For example:

* The number of active addresses with a **daily resolution** shows the total number of active addresses over the 24-hour time window. A new data point is provided once a day.
* Similarly, a metric with a **weekly resolution** aggregates the data over a 7-day time window and provides a new data point once per week.

This same mechanism is applied analogously to all other resolutions.

Some metrics, such as the number of addresses with a non-zero balance, reflect the **current state of the blockchain** rather than an aggregate over a time window. For such metrics:

* **The value refers to the state at the end of the interval**.
* Example: A daily metric for non-zero balance addresses reported for `2025-01-22` refers to the state of the blockchain at `2025-01-22 23:59 UTC`.
