sure i can figure this out if I spent some time on it but don't have time so can anyone help me understand discrepancy between polymarket's reported DAU? Token Terminal showing ~400 (yes, only 400) daily active addresses whereas Dune (by @rchen8) is showing ~25,000 daily active traders. will send $10 USDC to first correct answer / best answer. thank you! https://tokenterminal.com/explorer/projects/polymarket/metrics/active-addresses-daily https://dune.com/rchen8/polymarket

ok so I think what's happening is richard's query is getting all active polymarket markets that use USDC as collateral, while the Token Terminal only seems to be tracking active addresses for the main polymarket smart contract Richard's is also tracking multiple activities as "active users," including interacting with market contracts but also opening and filling orders on Polymarket exchanges so in short, Richard's seems much more correct and comprehensive I can't find more details about the what Token Terminal is actually doing but obviously their numbers seems suspiciously low. so I assume they're doing some overly simple way of tracking active addresses, like just looking at addresses that interact with the main contract this unfortunately is a pretty common problem with crypto data providers, where they'll provide a metric but then not be transparent about how it was calculated so you can't really tell if it's accurate
