Bitcoin SegWit Adoption: Share of Transactions per Adjustment

How many transactions use SegWit, measured on one sample block at each difficulty adjustment, straight from our node (getblockstats).

SegWit transactions per sample block (%)

What this chart shows

SegWit activated in August 2017. SegWit transactions pay less for the same payload, so their share is a simple way to see how much Bitcoin usage has shifted since.

How we calculate it

At the height of each difficulty adjustment we ask our node for that block's stats and store the share of SegWit transactions. Before activation the value is zero.

Limits

One block out of every 2016: good for the trend, not for a given day's exact figure, and an unusual block can stick out. The series doesn't separate Taproot from other SegWit outputs.
