Mean Coin Age

Definition

Recall that the coin-age model allows us at each given point in time to assign age to each coin/token.

There are two coin age defined metrics:

• Mean Coin Age - The average age of all coins/tokens on the blockchain.
• Mean Dollar Invested Age - The average age of all coins/tokens on the blockchain weighted by the purchase price.

Mean Coin Age metrics are also available for different time bounds, which compute the mean coin age for tokens moved at least once no longer than a specific number of days or years ago.

Example (Mean Coin age)

Given there are 100 tokens in existence:

• 50 of them have age 10 days
• 50 of them have age 20 days

then the average coin age is:

Example (Mean Dollar Invested Age)

Given there 100 tokens in existence:

• 50 of them have age 10 days and the token's price was $1 at that time
• 50 of them have age 20 days and the token's price was $2 at that time

then the mean dollar invested age is:
