The Wallet Snapshot is the first thing you see when analyzing any Ethereum wallet. Here's exactly what each of the six cards means — and why it matters.
When you scan any Ethereum address on cryptoucan.xyz, the Wallet Snapshot gives you an instant summary of the most important metrics. Six cards, each telling a different part of the wallet's story. Here's a breakdown of each one.
What it shows: The wallet's ETH balance converted to USD at the current market price.
This is the headline number — how much ETH this wallet holds, expressed in a currency most people understand. The sub-text shows the raw ETH amount alongside the current ETH price, so you can see both the asset and its current value at a glance.
What it shows: How long this wallet has been active, measured from its first ever transaction.
Wallet age is one of the most revealing metrics on the page. A wallet created in 2017 or 2018 has survived multiple market cycles — bull runs, crashes, and everything in between. An old wallet that's still active today suggests a committed, experienced participant. A brand new wallet with a large balance is more unusual and worth investigating further.
The sub-text shows the exact date of the first transaction (e.g. "Since Apr 28, 2018") for precision.
What it shows: When the most recent transaction was made, plus an activity status badge.
This tells you whether the wallet is currently in use. The activity status badge gives a quick classification: Active (transaction in last 7 days), Recent (last 30 days), Moderate (last year), or Dormant (over a year). A dormant wallet with a large ETH balance is sometimes called a "sleeping whale" — potentially significant if it suddenly wakes up.
What it shows: The total number of outgoing transactions ever sent from this wallet.
This is pulled from the Ethereum network directly — it's the wallet's nonce, which increments with every outgoing transaction. A nonce of 15,000 means this wallet has sent 15,000 transactions. Exchange hot wallets can have millions. Regular users typically have hundreds to a few thousand. The sub-text clarifies this is "sent on-chain" to distinguish from received transactions.
What it shows: Of the most recent transactions, how many were outgoing (sent/contract interactions) vs incoming (received).
This ratio gives a quick sense of the wallet's behaviour. A wallet that mostly receives is likely a holder or destination address. A wallet that mostly sends is actively trading, interacting with DeFi, or distributing funds. Note that this metric is based on the most recent batch of transactions — it's a snapshot of recent behaviour, not the entire history.
What it shows: The average ETH spent on gas fees per transaction in recent activity.
Gas fees on Ethereum vary enormously depending on what the transaction does. A simple ETH transfer costs a fraction of a cent. A complex DeFi interaction — swapping tokens, providing liquidity, executing a multi-step strategy — can cost several dollars or more. High average gas suggests a power user doing complex things on-chain. Near-zero gas suggests simple transfers or a wallet that hasn't been active during high-fee periods.
