On-Chain Metrics Overview
Understand ChartInspect on-chain metric categories, discovery, coverage, fields, and resolutions.
ChartInspect organizes on-chain analytics into six editorial groups. Every public concept uses the same base pattern when served by the generic route:
GET /api/v1/onchain/{metric_id}?chain={asset_id}On-chain data requires a Pro key. Metric, field, history, and resolution coverage vary by asset.
#Find Available Metrics
- Call public
/api/v1/chainsfor the complete additive V1 inventory, then select an assetid. - Call
/api/v1/onchain/status?chain=...for exact metric IDs and fields. - Check Data Resolutions if daily data is insufficient.
- Request the exact metric ID and handle an empty or unavailable window explicitly.
#Categories
| Category | Focus |
|---|---|
| Valuation | Market value, realized value, cost basis, and fair-value models |
| Supply | Distribution, cohorts, age, dormancy, liquidity, and reserves |
| Momentum | Spending profitability, oscillators, trends, and cycle signals |
| Mining and Network | Blocks, fees, activity, security, and proof-of-work economics where applicable |
| Profit and Loss | Realized and unrealized holder outcomes |
| Risk and Market | Composite risk, stress, regimes, and market structure |
The All Metrics page is generated from current manifests and shows cross-asset coverage. The Full Endpoint Reference is generated from the API catalog and shows request parameters and fields.
#Differences Between Assets
Similar names do not guarantee identical methodology across UTXO, account-based, proof-of-stake, and token assets. Mining concepts do not apply to every network, cohort thresholds can differ, and snapshots are not daily time series. Treat each returned field set as the contract and avoid filling absent concepts with zero.
