Token Terminal, a leading data platform for blockchain activity, recently added World Mobile Chain to its dashboard. Shortly after, 
World Mobile ranked 6th in daily active users, ahead of many major protocols. That jump signals something important: people are using the network consistently for everyday telecom services.
This article breaks down what Token Terminal tracks, why daily active users matter, and how World Mobile’s telecom-based infrastructure is driving a type of on-chain activity that stands apart from most of crypto.
What Is Token Terminal?
Token Terminal is a public analytics platform that shows how blockchain networks are used in practice. It tracks financial and usage data like active users, transaction volume, and protocol revenue, and standardizes it across major blockchains and decentralized applications.
Instead of focusing on token prices or speculation, Token Terminal highlights meaningful activity: how many people are using a network, how much value flows through it, and how that changes over time. You can think of it like a Bloomberg terminal for Web3, designed for transparency and open to everyone.
What Are Daily Active Users (DAUs)?
Daily active users, or DAUs, measure how many unique wallet addresses interact with a blockchain project in a 24-hour period. These interactions can include sending payments, using smart contracts, or accessing decentralized services.
While a wallet isn’t the same as a person, DAUs still give a clear picture of network activity. They show whether people are returning to use the service over time or just showing up once.
This makes DAU a powerful signal. It cuts through surface-level stats like token price or total value locked and focuses instead on consistent engagement. A project might look successful at a glance, but if users aren’t coming back, DAUs will reveal that gap.
How Are World Mobile’s DAUs Counted?
For World Mobile, a daily active user is someone with an active payment plan who uses the network’s telecom services like making a call, sending a message, topping up data, or going online. Each of these actions creates a transaction that’s recorded on the blockchain.
This adds up quickly. World Mobile Chain can process up to 7 million transactions per day, placing it sixth overall in Token Terminal’s daily user rankings and first in the infrastructure category.
What makes this unique is the nature of telecom itself. Mobile services aren’t used occasionally, they’re part of daily life. That steady usage is reflected directly in the data.
And the network is expected to grow fast: World Mobile is launching mobile plans in the United States and preparing for expansion in South Korea, which will bring even more users and on-chain activity in the months ahead.
How Does Token Terminal Get This Data?
Token Terminal gets its data straight from the blockchain. In World Mobile’s case, that means the World Mobile Chain, where every telecom interaction is logged as a transaction.
The platform reads this data directly, without relying on estimates or third parties. Anyone can check the same activity themselves using the World Mobile Chain explorer.
At the moment, most of this usage comes from World Mobile’s first launch region in Pakistan. As the network expands across the United States, Africa, and other markets, those new users and transactions will be reflected in Token Terminal’s dashboard automatically.
Why “Infrastructure” Matters
World Mobile is currently the leading infrastructure protocol on Token Terminal by daily active users. In Web3, infrastructure refers to blockchain systems that support essential services, either by powering other applications or serving users directly.
World Mobile fits this category through its role as a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network). It deploys physical hardware known as AirNodes, which deliver mobile connectivity to homes, businesses, and public spaces. These devices can be purchased by anyone and operated locally or remotely, with node operators earning rewards for providing coverage and connecting users to the network.
What Else Token Terminal Tracks
Token Terminal tracks much more than just daily users. It gives a full view of World Mobile’s performance, from user engagement to economic scale to network activity.

These metrics offer a clear, data-backed picture of how World Mobile Chain is growing.
Why This Signals Real Adoption
World Mobile’s daily usage reflects what many crypto projects aim for but rarely sustain: consistent, everyday engagement driven by a real-world need. People rely on mobile connectivity in the same way they rely on electricity or clean water, quietly and continuously.
That same principle applies to the token, WMTx. Its value is linked to actual telecom usage and backed by revenue from paying users on the network.
As the network expands into new regions and more AirNodes come online, both usage and on-chain activity are expected to grow. World Mobile is building a telecom network with real-world utility at its core.
