Since the beginning of the year, Status has seen solid growth in both active installs and unique active peers in the network. The first is quite easy to understand, the second may need a bit of clarity:

1. 300k Active Installs: This is the number of people who have Status installed on their device. This is a metric taken from the App Store and Playstore.
2. 6,912 Unique Daily Peers: As Status does not implement any in-app analytics, it’s challenging to identify monthly active users (MAU’s), which is the standard measurement for apps. Instead, we can look at activity on the network and identify unique peers. This is the number of peers on a given day, such as this stats snapshot from  January 10th. It represents a 250% increase since the beginning of the year. Status now has over 500k total installs and 300k active installs.

Growing a network is challenging especially while going up against some of the giants of web2. Fortunately, there’s a passionate community of like minded people actively growing the network, chatting in the channels, inviting friends, making feature requests, and even contributing code. Most notably the Status Ambassadors and more recently the Status Punks - a grassroots group formed inside of Status dedicated to educating the world about the product.

We want to thank EVERYONE who has been part of the journey and we look forward to the bright future ahead. Stay tuned for a detailed outline of future plans and strategy moving forward.
