Vaulting rate
how fast coins are being locked away
How quickly bitcoin is moving into the not-participating pile, as an annual rate. It is charted against the inflation rate: when more is being vaulted than is being mined, the tradeable float is shrinking.
DefinitionAnnualised change in vaulted supply over total supply, annualised over 52,560 blocks.
LimitProvisional because the source papers never state the annualisation. They describe "the daily rate of change" but chart it against an annual inflation rate, so we annualise; that is inference, not a quoted definition. Being corrected: this is built on active or vaulted supply, which the pipeline derived from the coinblocks liveliness while the published liveliness is coin-days. The gap averages 74,759 BTC of active supply, a median of 0.8%. The rebuild onto coin-days is under way and this caveat retires with it.
